I had stamps out on my work desk and added more stamps, along with color pencils, and I found I still had a piece of packing material that is perfect for stamping. So I made another journal page for Valerie's Spring theme.
The journal I am working on has just a couple more pages and it will be complete, so perfect for another spring page.
and Wow this afternoon we made it up to 80 degrees f that was a surprise-although tomorrow we will drop to 59 degrees f
Those pencils on the right still in the package I had bought at Yellowstone's gift store back a few years when I visited. These have no wood in them just all pencil. This is the first time I used those
I also used another sheet of the brown packing paper for the background
Those of us closing out winter are for sure looking forward to spring-thank you Valerie for a fun theme.
Lovely welcoming spring journal. Love the brown color background and subtle lavender colors. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeletethank you-happy rest of the week
DeleteGreat page Kathy. What I really like is the cool cardboard packing material and how that stamps. It really adds lots of texture to your page. And it is perfect for Valerie's spring challenge. It feels so war and full of joy. Thanks for joining us at AJJ. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeletethank you so much Erika
DeleteSuch a beautiful spring journal! Love the butterfly stamp.
ReplyDeletethanks so much
DeleteI was also drawn to that packing material and how you used it as a background. Really clever way to use it and to turn it into a garden path. This is a charming entry for Valerie's theme at Art Journal Journey and a lovely way to recycle that packing material, too!
ReplyDeletethanks so much Elizabeth, I was thinking what could I use for bricks and I remembered I still had some of this left
DeleteFabulous page, Kathy, love the bricks, very cleverly stamped. Thanks for another super page for my challenge at AJJ, much appreciated! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletethank you Valerie
DeleteAnother lovely page. Very creative use of packaging as a stamp! I feel like I need to raid the recycling bin cause I am sure I've tossed some of that in the trash recently... :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Journaling!

this packaging came with something we bought that needed allot of packing material-this is very stiff so perfect for stamping
DeleteGreat idea with the cardboard!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the outcome. Very cold, but sunny here, Spring sure is on the way!
Hello Iris we are back to cooler temps again but sunshine-loving that
DeleteI love how you created the backing print for this fantastic page Kathy, a super idea to used it as a stamping image, it does look so like a pathway. Thank you for linking this Springtime page to Valerie's theme at AJJ.
