Just playing and being inspired!

Hello everybody! 
In between working in the garden at our caravan and preparing for our bedroom to be painted I found time to play in my journal so I have another page for Gill's theme - 'Inspired by' at Art Journal Journey

Hubby and I attend a gym (usually once a week)and each time we go we are given wrist bands in different colours each time (there is obviously a rotation system as we are now getting repeats of colours!) 
I was inspired by these bright colours to save them them until I had enough to fill a page in one of my large journals - not knowing what I was going to do!
I found this image in a magazine and I made a start. Wristbands were cut up and stuck down, the photo was mounted onto some scrap paper and part of a map and I used some AALL and create stamps along with a Visible Image quote.
I don't think I'll ever have legs like the model but I am getting better at walking faster without being out of breath! 

Thanks for looking, Chris

    I was really impressed by those very colorful wrist bands. Of course, you had to stamp on them, too (GRIN). I'm in awe of your stamping. This is a fabulous entry for Art Journal Journey. I adore how you used a magazine image, too. My kind of art.

    BTW, I’ve been complaining about my gimpy keyboard for awhile, but my mouse has always worked great. That is, until today. I had to buy a new mouse just so I could maneuver between blogs. That’s why I’m really late visiting.

    Those bands are such pretty colours I can see why you were inspired by them - you must be super fit now too.

    Such a happy page with that brightly coloured wrist band background and the whole page looks amazing! I don't think I'll ever have those long legs either, being 5 foot nothing I'm just not tall enough ...lol 😉. It's been hot here so we've been walking in the shade of the trees at Lytham Hall this week. I hope you had a lovely week too! J 😊 x
