Last spread

This is the last spread in my file-folder journal. It's a bit on the simplistic side but it was my expression for that day I worked on it. The Paper Whimsy image is transferred onto the page and then I used some cool Tattered Angel stencils I have with inks and acrylics.

This was done on the actual first day of Spring and we had a snow storm so I think I was a little discouraged :)

Today is balmy; we are having a very wet and stormy week - more to come! Severe weather is still occurring down South; there is a stubborn system that just will not give it up!

Hope you are all safe and well; having a good week and I'll be back towards the weekend. I've got some more "She Art" to share.

Love to all - Marilyn xxoo

Hi Marilyn. I can see you wagon walking with Sophia and what precious memories the two of you are making. I can definitely see how "blue" you felt while creating these pages. Spring is finally here for us and I will share it with you but it might take a while to get across the country. Happy creating my dear...

Wet and cold on the West Coast, too. Sunshine where are you? I'm so into stencils right now and you have some good ones. I'm taking the She Art class and have tried a couple pieces but I'm not ready to share. I'm anxious to see your's tho'.

What a great sense of humor in this spread. I can see where you were really wanting spring, but I laughed when I saw this and saw the expression on the little gal's face. I really love every spread you made. I know this is a perfect size and will make a great example for teaching.

The stencilling is beautiful, Marilyn. Often simple is the most effective (although I love my layering).

Your file folder journal is lovely! Just a 'few' pages to fill, great shape for pages, and your use of color & texture is so inspiring! I might have to try this...!

Marlynn said...

ahhhhh, stunning!!!! don't need to many more words to describe it! You knocked it out of the ball park. AND, we are just moving the storms out your way. Stay safe. They are ugly and a mess. Hugs
