Starry Night!

Hi everyone! 
I am so enjoying Alison's theme at Art journal Journey - 'Recycle and Collage' is just what I have been doing! The only thing is that when I start I enjoy it so much that I don't stop at one page so unless I schedule some posts for next week I will have a huge backlog and may keep some to myself!!!
As I have mentioned before I have one or two bags of bits and pieces of leftovers from projects, magazine clippings, tickets, chocolate wrappers, birthday card bits, under papers from spraying or painting, things I just pick up - so I have a lot of choice of what I can use for collages. 
This page started as a mop up page (as they often do)
I have also been trying to use up some old products, so here behind the image transfer is a K and Company tag. I hope you will have a look around the page for...part of a birthday card, part of a visitor card, a piece of stamped mop up paper, an Italian chocolate wrapper and the motto that was inside it, a piece of tape that picked up some paint from my lid 'palette', some washi tape, a circle cut from a stately home brochure, a scrap of book paper and a piece of chocolate paper that had some stars cut from it.

 I would also like remind you that Try It On Tuesday's theme 'Recycle Something' is still running until next Monday (16th April)

 Thanks for looking, Chris

    I swear this has everything on it except the kitchen sink. I couldn't find everything, but I found most and it gave me an idea for a page, too. Thanks for the inspiration and thanks for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey. I think you have definitely gotten into this theme, dear.

    Your terrific use of recycled items here is uncredible Chris! You have such a hand for perfect layering, composition and colours and that even with things other people would just throw away! I am absolutely impressed with that amazing page! I so hope to see a few more of your unique recycled stories.
    Just fantastic!
    I wish you a very happy and enjoyable weekend and say THANK YOU SO MUCH for another genius entry to Alison's theme at Art Journal Journey!
    Hugs, Susi

    I'm a bit late catching up, but I do like your starry night page Chris. The candy wrapper and star punchelle are great additions-the shininess of them, along with the canvas lady gives the page a little change up. Have a great weekend. Hugs-Erika
