Hi everyone!
This summer in eastern Pennsylvania has been quite the adventure! We started with rain and some seriously damaging thunderstorms. Then, we went through a dry spell and are now facing a severe drought. To top it off, we’ve been dealing with smoky, hazy skies from the wildfires in Canada, which have reached dangerous levels! Yikes!
Not being able to get outdoors has given me the perfect excuse to get back into crafting. Plus, this month’s Art Journal Journey theme really sparked my interest!
Halle from Halle’s Hobbies is hosting July, and I couldn’t resist joining in on her fun theme, “Fabric, Lace, and Trims, Oh My!”
But before I show you my project, I wanted to share a little about Art Journal Journey Monthly:
"Each month, there is a new challenge theme for you to take part in. Our participants are art-journalers, altered book artists, rubber stamp addicts, and mixed media artists from all over the world. You are invited to take part by linking via the Link tool on their site.
Artwork created in an art journal, altered book, on canvas, or loose pages, as well as digital and fabric art of any size, is now acceptable."
Here is my project, a mixed-media art journal scrapbook page:
I had a blast creating this page! I began by giving a 12 x 12 sheet of white Bazzill cardstock some fun splatters and drips with spray inks. Next, I added an orange burlap circle that I cut from an old piece of burlap, torn patterned paper, and orange and lime-green ric-rac from my stash. I machine-stitched the orange ric-rac onto my page, along with some fibers that had come loose from the orange burlap. I also added some digital butterflies, leaves, and words from ArtStacks digital packs. Finally, I added my photo, title, and journaling. What a fun project!
Thank you so much, Halle, for hosting this month and coming up with such a fabulous theme.
Now it’s your turn! I hope you get a chance to check out Art Journal Journey this month! I know you’re going to love seeing all the beautiful entries from talented artists all over the world.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.
Wishing you a wonderful rest of July! ❤

I can see how the weather inspired you page with those oranges and yellow Sharon. It's beautifully done and that sky photo is lovely. We've had some crazy weather too, but these smokey skies are really something else. Thanks for joining Halle. It's good to see you stopping by. I hope you get just enough rain to cure the drought and lots of beautiful summer days too. Then you can send them north east my way. :) hugs_Erika
