Hi Everybody!
Today we are starting a new challenge at TIOT and our theme is Halloween. I have a hybrid journal page, made up of a painted background, some photos and digital elements. Remember to look at all the lovely pieces on our blog created by my teamies:
I am also linking to Elle's tell me a story challenge at AJJ - this picture tells its own story!
Our new theme at Tag Tuesday is autumn colours. Many thanks to Sandie for getting the post up and doing the admin until I can manage a bit more! The leaves here were cut from painted and embossed paper, the bead was hand made many moons ago!
We had a beautiful sunrise this morning:
Some thinkies/funnies:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
Nope, can't do your art today, not with that big spider right in the middle. lol. Hope you are feeling better with each new day. Hugs, Deb
ReplyDeleteI am scared stiff of spiders. But at Halloween my act of bravery is to put a big spider on the page....Hugs!
DeleteHow fun your Halloween page is!...(except for that spider). Your painted page for the background is great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie, have a great week!
DeleteNow that big spider.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Coffee is better than spiders!
DeleteI love the new blog header Valerie. And all your cool art today. That is a great Halloween page. That is a huge pumpkin, but so much fun that it is so big. And nice new theme at Tag Tuesday. Your tag is great. I love the rolled paper. I hope you have a wonderful day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika! Two fun themes today, I love them both! I must make some more of those rolled paper beads, they are fun and easy. Have a great day, hugs!
DeleteLovely art and a gorgeous sunrise. Fun thinkies
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteNice spooky blog header and Halloween page Valerie - I like spiders so I don't find them scary. Thanks for joining me for the October theme at Art Journal Journey this month Elle/Empire of the Cat xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Elle. Nice if you're not afraid of 🕷️🕸️ spiders!
Deleteyes, I like them but not when they surprise me!
DeleteThe Halloween page is wonderful, Valerie. After all, what would a scary Halloween page be without a big, scary spider in it? Won't be long now. I am sure all the kids are getting excited about their costumes and dreaming of all the candy they will be gathering. It is really starting to feel like fall here. Most of the leave are off the trees and yesterday there were even a few flakes of snow mixed in with rain. We went down to get our annual flu shots. Now we need to have the fifth COVID shot! We will soon have more vaccine than blood! Take good care and keep getting better. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteHere Halloween 🎃 is not celebrated as much as in the States and Canada, but a few kids go collecting candy and dress up. At school we always had a party and I went as a witch. Including a false nose and broom! You already had snow? Here it's quite mild. Have a happy day, big 🤗🤗 hugs!
DeleteWhat a fabulous Halloween entry. The spooky spider gave me chills and the pumpkin is impressive. It's also a perfect theme for Elle's theme at Art Journal Journey, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tag. I love the bead you added, too.
Such a fabulous Halloween page and tag! Loving your hybrid page design, it looks like it was fun to create too 😊. Spiders - eeek! Take care and happy wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, have a great day ❤️😊❤️
DeleteI love your tag Valerie, the embossing really makes it for me. I honestly forget what I have in my craft room, I have loads of heat embossing powders.lol. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandie, same here, I'm always discovering things in my stash!
DeleteWhat a fab page Valerie, so colourful and fun! Your silhouette man certainly tells his own story lol. Take care, put your feet up and have a great week, Sue 😁 xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, putting my feet up is ssomething I enjoy!
DeleteSo scary is right! I love all the bats.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the bats are always my faves, but I like Freddie, too!
DeleteYou've captured the energy and theme of both challenges with perfection! Ah, the spider. I love them more in your art than in my house! Beautiful and fun work!
ReplyDeleteThanks 🙏. I am not a friend of spiders if they come into my house!
DeleteYour Halloween piece is delightfully spooky. And your tag is beautiful. What a gorgeous sunrise!

Deleteso nice spooky art:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy!

DeleteYou, too!
DeleteI had to snort over the first meme:) The first piece is spooky, in a very fun way. Love the textures and dimensions on the second.
ReplyDeleteYOU take special care.
Hugs
Thanks Sandra, hugs!
DeleteThere's plenty of suitably scary stuff going on here Valerie! Love the tag. There's certainly lots of Autumn colour around here at the moment, That funny really did make me laugh! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, have a great day!
DeleteI don't do spiders but I am talking real ones that run about. They are a necessity in pictures at Halloween and I love your page.
ReplyDeleteI am envious of your ability to do these hybrid pieces and this is a lovely one with that gorgeous painty background and then everything else about it. Great zombie and flyhing bats.
I was drawn to your tag, I have beads similar to that on a card I made a long time ago. I think I would like to make some more now, they were fun to do.
You did it again with your funny about the middle aged couple, tickled me no end.
Hope you are feeling a bit stronger day by day.
Hugs, Neet xx
Thanks so much, Neet. I love plaing with hybrid pieces!
DeleteInteresting art pieces but the first one is spooky. Thanks for the funnies especially the elderly couple.
ReplyDeleteThanks, the elderly couple joke is great!
DeleteA fantastic art Valerie, I loved the hybrid Halloween page you created for TioT's.
ReplyDeleteI have had my catch up and had a good grin at the funnies.
I hope you are recovering well and taking things slowly.
Yvonne xx
Thanks Yvonne, I hope you are doing well, have a great day ❤️😊❤️
DeleteI love the multimedia aspect of the first art piece, it's so beautiful. :)
