Hi Everybody!
Today is the last day of our challenge 'In my garden there is'
at Art Journal Journey. Yvonne chose the theme and gave us a fantastic month,
so a big THANK-YOU to Yvonne, who posted a journal page every day and visited everyone who joined in. And tomorrow we are starting a new theme, so come back tomorrow and see who our hostess is and learn about the new theme!
I have made my traditional collage:
And the last of the garden pages:
The 'trust' (cut and pay) garden down by the Rhine is rather overgrown this year.
After weeks of rain and then too much heat everything is overgrown with thistles, grass and wild flowers:
And the plants on my balcony are doing well:
The weather has been cloudy/sunny/rainy, but that makes for lovely skies:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
The collage is superb, and I love the pages with the roses and dragonflies. Great photos, as always. Hugs Sarah
ReplyDeleteWhere did July go? It has been a delightful month with all of your garden pages including the last one of roses, my very favorite flower. The flowers in your photos are incredible. I think they liked the rain from yesterday. Hope it cooled everything down a bit including your apartment.

Your collage is fantastic full of your beautiful artwork. The last pages are also wonderful along with your photographs. I especially like the flowers. I should have managed to do a garden journal page, I love gardening and flowers. July was a busy and actually a stressful month. Take care, Shirleyxx

ReplyDeleteAs always, I look forward to your end-of-the-month collage. It's always fun to see the pages all together like that. So awesome. And that goes for the thorny conclusion to this month, too.
As always, your photos steal the scenes. Love the floral shots and the ones from your balcony. Have a fabulous rest of the weekend and my hope your apartment has cooled a bit by now.
Such a gorgeously created collage and pages, love the images and colours used...the papers look lovely ..xx

You have your own special touch Valerie. Always love the collages you do at the end of every month. Your new spread is gorgeous - I particularly love the roses! Looking forward to what August will bring with Art Journal Journey. I might just surprise you - OR I might just surprise my self.
