Weekend post

Hi Everybody!

The beginning of March has inspired the weather to be wild and windy, but I'm hopeful that spring will soon be back again!

For Joan's challenge at Tag Tuesday, my fave stamp. I have another tag, made using backgrounds from Serif:


And I have an older, mixed media collaged piece to share with 
Paint Party Friday  and Elizabeth's 2nd on the 2nd:







Some photos from my walks and sunrises this week:














Tulips in the vase again:






And a very moody sun this morning:



Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  4. I see why you like that stamp. And I love the Eiffel with the corset! That's fun!

    Beautiful spring is coming or has come to your home. I love it. And those sunrises take my breath away.

  6. Such beautiful makes and photos! Your tag is adorable and I love your mixed media collage piece, the vibrancy of colours is stunning 😁. It was nice to have a touch of spring for a while, we've had such lovely sunny days and warm temperatures which is quite unusual for this time of year, not that I'm complaining ...lol 😉. Happy Friday and Weekend dear Valerie! J 😊 x

  9. Wonderful owl stamps. So jealous of the scenery on your walks. Not only Spring flowers, but your trees have actual buds! I really love the seagulls trying to catch up with the ferry. Enjoy your blustery weekend. At least there's no snow!

  13. Another fabulous share i'm sure that our woodland friends are all getting ready to dance to that springtime tune although our sun was just as moody as yours this morning.
    Wishing you all the best this weekend Valerie with lots of walks and new discoveries along with some creative time inbetween.

  14. That's a fabulous owl stamp and he looks good on your tag. Lovely photos of the sunrise and spring blubs. Our weather's damp and dull after a few lovely days midweek and like you I can't wait for spring to arrive.
    Have a lovely weekend.

  16. I'm really late visiting. I had intended to get here sooner, but I got caught up in the last day before a big storm is to hit. Had to stock up on food and other supplies in case I lose power in the next three days. Snow and ice up to 5 inches tonight and more to come after that. Looks like you can't relate, since it's so beautiful there. Is that a weeping willow? The photos of your area are superb. I fear it's going to be nothing but white, here!

    Your tag is wonderful. That owl is gorgeous, so I can see why it would be a favorite stamp.

    I don't believe I have seen this second look before. I like the fun, the funky, the quirky, the mixed media aspect, and the overall joy I felt when I saw this journal page. Thank you so much for sharing it with us as your second look on the 2nd.

  20. Great mix of artwork and photos. I love the details in your second art piece. Your sunrise photos are lovely. And I enjoy seeing the signs of Spring with the flowers and now tree growth. It's snowing for me today, and will again tomorrow into Monday. We have a Winter Storm Watch. :-(

  32. Loving your tag!! Adorable stamp and little hedgehog. :) The color and texture on your second piece is awesome. We are having some crazy wind here today too. Record low temps for us tonight and a few snow flurries, but no accumulation (much to the disappoint of school kiddos!) I enjoyed looking at your photos this week. Looks like it was a beautiful walk. Hope you are doing well! Hugs and happy PPF!!

  37. Oh my. I know I stopped by but I guess I forgot to save the comment so it didn't post. I clearly remember the owl tag and writing how I adored the owl stamp, being a fan of owls and the second view is such a cool collage with so many details. It was good to see it again. Sorry it didn't post but I guess at least I was noticed being missing. A little sorry smile on my face. I hope March 2 was a good one! And I will see you later today or tomorrow for T. Hugs-Erika
