Happy Friday everyone..
I've not had much time for creativity this past week but managed
to snatch a couple of hours today to complete this journal page.
Bleubeard and Elizabeth are our hosts over at Art Journal Journey
with this months theme being *Count your Blessings*
This found journal page full of paste, stencils & DOx's made the perfect backdrop.
Hubby & I will be celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary next week and
ALL these stencilled words remind me how blessed I am that we are still *Together*
After meeting nearly 30 years ago we can still be as silly, weird or wierd
as the stencil states just like those early days... it's extraordinary!
Here's what I got up too..
Onto Linen paper I pushed modelling paste through an AALL & Create
stencil. I find this paste leaves a fantastic flexible surface to work on.
Torn around the edges I painted over the page with a thin layer of Gesso
and used watercolour pencils to layer up those flower colours.
When happy with the colour blend I've sewn on some
lace remnants along with a handful of beads.
These two hearts are from That's Crafty left over from a past project.
Coloured to mimic the colours within the page I let the lace overlap
adding a little key & button embellishment.
The initials J & T gave it that personal touch...
With the embellished panel glued to the page Distress crayons
are used to blend in extra colour completing my Journal page.
The colours of these flowers just remind me of my
Summertime Wedding Bouquet.
Thank you for stopping by..
It's been a very eventful week for me,
I'm looking forward to having some down time and
catching up with you all over the weekend.
Creative Wishes
Tracey xx

much love...
Lovely page Tracey and Happy # 25!!!
Happy PPF~
I intended to come over on Wednesday and visit, but unfortunately life got in the way. I was delighted to see this glorious entry, though. I love the background. I've never used modeling paste, but I was really impressed with the entire entry. Those hearts were stunning and the lace you sewed to the page was out of this world. Very romantic and very feminine, too. I am so grateful you shared this beauty with us at Art Journal Journey and you chose to make this art based on my theme there.
Happy 25th anniversary. Hope you celebrate 25 more, too.
BIG Congrats to you and hubby on your wonderful 25th anniversary, make the weekend special and #1.
Your work of art makes me sigh with admiration...Love it.xxx
Happy 25th Wedding anniversary. Your art work is just lovely.

Absolutely Gorgeous Tracey!!

Wow... 25 years married!!! ..you know that thing when you have a vision in your head of what someone is like.. I don't know why but in my head I thought you were about 35,... but that illusion is shattered now Tracey...unless you got married at age 10... 🤣🤣 . Your journal cover is really beautiful and I felt choked when you put right on the end about it being the colours of your bouquet... how lovely and personal. Xxxxxx
