"I love the summer time. I love to spend time outdoors especially in the garden where you can sit surrounded by the sights and colours of summer. I used this as my thoughts for this weeks challenge. Whether its the bright summer colours that inspire you, the flowers or just the general lazy feeling you can get from an afternoon in the garden, take this summer and make it into your own work of art."It was a bit difficult for me to think Summertime when Spring has not yet totally arrived in New England! But, thoughts of Summertime certainly make me happy. Our campground is all cleaned up and set up, and we have had our first campfire. However, memories from longer ago reminded me of that childhood chant at the end of the school year, which always signified the beginning of Summer:
No more teachers!
No more books!
No more teachers'
dirty looks!
I used "Girl with Lunch Box" from Stampotique Originals for my image and stamped her on a book page. I began to use letter stickers to add my "chant," only to discover that I was two O's short of completing my page--hence the ellipsis (for now)! This ended up being a fun project and took me back in time...which is always a nice trip! Here's my journal page:
Glad you stopped by today!
Joy to you!
Love it! So many things just look better on book text.
ReplyDeleteOoohh Kay,this Looks georgus,i love it your book pages.
ReplyDeleteSweet summer lettering....not feeling much like summer in Maine right now I bet, although it is muggy here....xox
ReplyDeleteThat little chant takes me back as well...gosh, I think we chanted it all the way home on the last day of school! Love the idea of book pages!
ReplyDeleteLovely Kay. Great use of the book page, and educational too. Love the stamp and the sentiment. Just starting spring here in Norway.
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant idea Kay, I love your 'splatty' page xx
ReplyDeleteLovely page, and great sentences on teachers and school constraints that disappear in Summer ! Love your ideas, always so clever. I hope the sun will finally comes in New England, but you know, here in Brittany it has gone after just a few days of good weather... boo. Hugs, Coco xx
