Hi Everybody!
Hope your week is going well.
We haven't had any rain or storms here today, but other places still got hit hard.
I hope things will soon get back to normal.
For Art Journal Journey, maps, I have another journal page. The boots are my fave boots, I just altered the colour here a bit. In real life they are grey! The vintage map is courtesy of Wikipedia.
Last week I got some happy Mail from Carolyn. She always makes extremely beautiful and arty cards, and has a lot of wonderful Japanese stamps, which she used to make this wonderful card.
And in the card this lovely stamp-set:
Thanks a lot Carolyn!
I enjoyed my walk today, it was sunny, and the flowers are growing well:
This sign-post is slowly being reclaimed by nature:
I love how the contrail seems to be exploding in the sun:
I walked through some gardens near the Basilica:
Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
This is funny, and I know those boots and some of the places they have been! Fab journal page and love the photos. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful lot of awesome photos!
ReplyDeleteYour boots are great, I love the page you created - it is very artful and I love the text on it as well. Of course we have heard about the flooding in Germany and France, and I see that you have had some really high water. I hope everything will be back to normal pretty soon. Beautiful images of the flowers - roses and clematis make such good companion.
And a beautiful stamp set!!!
Fantastic and arty page and such a great idea Valerie
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to get the card and stamp I am sure you will enjoy using it.
Very beautiful flowers on your photographs and lots of interest as well
Sleep well
Love Chrissie xx
Hi Valerie -- I just love the page you did. A very clever interpretation of the theme.

Gorgeous boots, is it your birthday, if it is, then have a happy one! The flowers are stunning Valerie.
ReplyDeleteYour boots are fantastic Valerie x love those journal pages. A fabulous card from Carolyn and a lovely gift of stamps too.

Nice boots.I love them. I bet they are as handsome in grey as they are here. Love your page. The flowers are blooming so beautifully-summer has arrived in your neck of the woods for sure. :) Have a great day- hope its as beautiful as those flowers.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the boots, amazing page as always. Wish I had your creative mind. Your gift is lovely and your beautiful photos as always intrigue and inspire me in our winter here.xx {aNNie}
ReplyDeleteI have 'borrowed' your last photo. xx
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome - enjoy!
DeleteIt never ceases to amaze me how you can take something as "ordinary" as a pair of favorite boots, and turn them into a work of art. Actually, I should say a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos of the flowers today. They seemed to echo the beautiful stamp you received. LOVED the photo of nature doing her thing to the signpost and the exploding contrail. Right place, right time! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Love those boots! Do you think they would fit me? Carolyn is such a wonderfully thoughtful lady - beautiful card and gift. Photos -- enjoyed muchly. hugs, Donna
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, especially the flower ones (love the clematis) and the last one is a great composition and would make a lovely large framed print.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really clever colour change for your boots.
Tolle Stiefelchen und eine herrliche Seite hast Du damit gewerkelt! Faszinierend schöne Blumen- und Umgebungsphotos spendierst Du uns heute auch!
ReplyDeleteSchönen Tag Valerie!

You had a birthday and I missed it? :( Hope it was wondrous.
ReplyDeleteLove the boots;)
Aren't those flowers beautiful.
No, it's not my birthday, I just got a stamp to use for a birthday!
