A Fun Journal Page for AJJ

 Happy Friday,
     Erika's new theme over at Art Journal Journey is When it's Hot!

   I went through my magazine clippings and found the two I thought I still had-a camp fire and popcorn over a fire. I also found from my postage stamps Scooby Doo

Scooby says It's Not too hot for popcorn-especially over a camp fire.  This page is in my spiral herbal cookbook journal.




I also decided my practice watercolor pages will be perfect to turn into those little books-These will make nice little books for a quick thank you or to drop a friend a note This page I did practice watercolor flowers with my watercolor pencils, and on the back a scene of hills and water also with the watercolor pencils




And on the first little books, I decided the braided yarns were too heavy looking for these so I took those apart and just made it simple


Note: these books are stitched together in the middle first


Happy Friday!!

  2. I also like your little books! Oftentimes, “less is more”, they are great without the yarn.

  3. How sweet with your hot Scooby Doo and popcorn. I love it and it fits nicely with Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey, too.

    Those little books are brilliant. Your drawings are incredible. Seriously, I like the little books with or without the yarn.

  5. Love your journal page Kathy. Scooby was a favorite of mine as a kid. I can’t believe he’s been around that long. And popcorn over a campfire sounds good to me. I was just saying to the hubby last night we need to do another fire pit. This is great so thank you for joining in at AJJ. And that was clever to make those little books. I am really enjoying your watercolors. Something I have never really tried before except to color in a stamped image. Hope you stay cool in this heat. Happy weekend. Hugs Erika

    1. thanks Erika, it's been way too hot and humid here for a fire pit-although I did burn a bunch of branches and dried weeds in it a few days ago.
      I am really enjoying these watercolors too-will play with the paints soon Happy weekend-hugs
