T Tuesday: one last stitch edition

I wasn’t sure I’d get another one in before my month of guest hosting on Art Journal Journey comes to an end…but I did!

I still had a pretty big piece of masterboard left over and noticed a pretty paper pad I had yet to have used. The colors went perfectly.

These mid century colors lend themselves to a more whimsical time yet full of tradition. Since I am adding this page to my three ring binder journal I was free to use super bulky objects such as the metal key and miniature frame. Both items have been rattling around in my stash for over a decade, So happy to finally use them!!

I began the search for a small vintage image but then this little guy caught my eye. I fell in love. He is just the right touch of whimsy I needed.

All I had left were the perfect words…and since I got this one finished at the final hours…I guess we did have time.

Art Journal Journey
I had to share this too…last week when I posted my By Midnight  journal page on Instagram, I had someone famous in the crafting world comment on my collage.
Mark Mortano is the author of the Big Ass book of crafts series, TV host and a designer.  Not gonna lie…that felt good to be recognized by a professional designer.
Since it’s also T stands for Tuesday as well I will share my obligatory drink and a bit about my week,
My garden is still going gangbusters…I think I’ll be canning some beans real soon.
Speaking of going gangbusters….I’ve been walking… walking a lot.
Here are a few photos I snapped along the way.
Those photos are three different lakes within easy walking distance of my house.
Gosh, I love summer in Minnesota!
I got this graphic in my email just a bit ago…
so yeah…I guess I did walk quite a bit last week. LOL
If its not raining…I’ll be walking!
What are you doing today?

    Good evening, I love your new journal page and that was my first thought-I love the colors.
    Your garden looks great, and you have a lovely place for walking-enjoy I need to get back doing that-but it’s been really hot and humid here.
    Happy T wishes Kathy

    Your final stitch was just in time. I loved it. The pastels are wonderful, as are the elements you used, including the bunny in the frame and the key. This turned out great as a final entry for your theme this month at Art Journal Journey. You have been a fantastic host and given us many inspirational entries, too. Thanks so much for being our host for June, Halle.

    BTW, I’ve never heard of Mark Montana, but if you have, that’s all that matters. A real feather in your cap, too.

    Your garden is looking amazing. I wish I had even a small space I could devote that didn’t get overrun with bermuda grass. Yours is doing SO well.

    You take amazing walks. I can’t believe you walked as many miles as you have in a week. That must be incredibly inspiring.

    Thanks for sharing your wonderful art, your walks, your garden update, and your ice cold drink with us for T this Tuesday, dear friend.

    Gorgoeous page, Halle. I want to learn more about masterboards. You’ve made such beautiful pages from them.

    Mark Montano – wow!

    Beautiful photos. I’m impressed with your step counts! One day last week, I actually walked more than 10,000 steps. That’s a first for me.

    Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen

    That looks like a great page for the ‘stitch’ theme. I love vintage, and this has a vintage feel about it. I’ve not heard of Mark Montana, but he is obviously famous, so congratulations. Now you hear it from an expert!
    It was great to see pictures from your walk. I have posted pictures from mine, and it is interesting how environments differ. Your area is green! (because there is water near.) Mine is brown and dry, but beautiful nevertheless.
    Well done for doing so many steps. (I don’t know how many I do. I don’t have a step counter)
    Wishing you a very happy T-Day,
    Hugs (These ones are allowed, but oh I so crave real hugs),

    Love your final collage for the stitch in Time theme at AJJ- pretty colors and layers! Good for you with all the steps too. I no longer have a counter and I don’t miss it either, i pretty much know what I do and refuse to compete with myself;) Beautiful sights along your walk. Didn’t know you were on IG- will see if I can find you. Happy T day!

    I am loving your journal page! Those colors certainly are fabulous and that framed bunny makes me pretty happy as well.
    Your walks take a beautiful path especially near the water.
    Happy Tea Day,

    Congrats on getting noticed by someone who knows good work when they see it :)

    That glass and straw make me smile. Your garden is gorgeous. I find myself drawn to your wooded and lakeside walking spots. Peaceful :)

I’ve had a couple of interruptions in my walking as it got really hot and now its really wet. Oh well, hopefully soon. Hope it’s been a nice T day. Hugs-Erika

    I really love this page Halle! It’s good to use stash up that’s been around for a while! How lovely to have a comment from someone you admire too!
    Your garden looks most productive, nothing like veg straight from the garden!
    You took some lovely sights in on your walks and what a lot of steps. I love getting those feedback reports, especially when they are up on the previous week!
    Belated T Day Wishes! Chrisx
