Hi Everybody!
Yesterday I had several appointments and the day sped by much too quickly. Hope I get more done today!
I am sharing a very simple piece for Wendy's bird challenge at AJJ. The A4 background was made with a piece of wallpaper from an old sample book. I added some highlighting with a white pen, collaged some white flowers, and sewed it to a white background - finished!
And I have another tag for my 'pets' challenge, with a wonderful quote from
James Herriot:
Early morning mist and frost - beautiful!
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Gorgeous photos Valerie, some great captures of the frost and fog. and I always enjoy seeing your art pieces. Happy Mid week hugs Kathy
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, have a good and safe day, take care!
DeleteYou are so artistic Valerie! Love your gorgeous fog photos too. Hope your week is going well. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha, the mist and frost here is indeed pretty!
DeleteThose frost photos are gorgeous. Nice capture. And your tag is super. Those dog and cat in glasses are great and that quote is fantastic. And lastly,going backwards to day, I love your page for AJJ. That is cool wallpaper, and your additions in white really make a great page. Hope all is well and you have a nice Wednesday. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika. I can never resist mist and frost photos. That wall paper was a serendipitous find! Have a great day!
DeleteThe mist and fog look ethereal. Beautiful bird piece and cute tag!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, stay safe and well!
DeleteSuper and gorgeous art, loving the blue, the misty photos are awesome.. ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Annie, much appreciated! Stay safe!
DeleteHi Val, good morning! Hope you are feeling a bit better and that you got a good night's sleep. LOVE your beautiful art and tag, I will print out the tag for little S later, she will love it, All is well here. Look after yourself, take care! Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, good morning to you, too! I've sent some cat and dog colouring pages to S, she should get them in a day or so. Thanks, as always, for your kind comments! Stay safe and well, hugs to all!
DeleteThat wallpaper sample is genius. I love how you used it to start your entry. It sure served you well, after you added all the dots and die cuts. And the sewing, too. AWESOME. And your piece didn't even buckle. It's a perfect entry for Wendy's theme at AJJ, too.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the tag. That quote is SO true. I love it.
Wow, you capture the mist so well. These photos are all stunning. I love them all. Whew, I'm finally caught up with AJJ, Mural Monday, T Tuesday, and AEDM for awhile. I think I'll head to bed now (grin).
Thanks E, you are doing a lot just now. Those old wallpaper books were a wonderful find, so many 'treasures' hidden in there. Have a good sleep and get your strength back. Hugs to the Boys!
DeleteGreat use of the wall paper sample! Looks amazing love the tag too, and the saying, that is so true. Beautiful misty photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot! Yes, anyone who has had pets will see the truth in that saying! Stay safe!
DeleteWhite highlighting seems to bring so much to art work, don't you think? A fine, finishing flourish. Your landscapes are amazing, and what a change in appearance over just a few days. Hope all goes well with the appointments.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and well, Deb
Thanks Deb, white does indeed bring a lot on darker backgrounds. Today it was sunny and milder, frost and mist have disappeared. Wonder what tomorrow will bring? Stay safe!
DeleteLuv that sewn piece. Your birds are elegant. I also did another tag. Drop my again to see it
ReplyDeleteMuch💝love
Thanks Gillena, I will gladly visit you!

ReplyDeleteAlison xx
That Alison. It's a quote I love, too. Stay safe.
Deletelooks like wintery landscape...
ReplyDeleteIt was cold and wintry yesterday.
DeleteOh you genius! What a wonderful way to use that wallpaper scrap. I have a big stash of wallpaper, as a friend gave me several sample books that she had in her stash. I may have to get more creative in how I use them. hugs, Teresa
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa, wallpaper is always great to use! Have a great day, Valerie
DeleteI love the James Herriot quote. Your misty/foggy scenes look quite mysterious. It looks like you've had a hard frost. It's nowhere near that cold here yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was lovely today but Arctic winds are in their way again, brrrrr!
DeleteGorgeous art Valerie, I love that adorable tag with the sweet animals and what a fabulous quote! WOW stunning photos today, the frost is very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Tammy x
Thanks Tammy, the quote is one of my faves. Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteI love your misty frosty photos, very atmospheric. And your tags are so cute, I used to devour all James Herriot books when I was a kid so I love the quote. Elle xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Elle. I love the James Herriot books too, and enjoyed the TV films. It was a gently and moving tale of times that are now long gone. Stay safe!
