Wandering into the gold...

 Hi everyone,I'm still loving gold!

We (that's hubby and I) made our week 8 Wanderlust pages.

We used some things that were special to us and slightly veered away from the original lesson, which I will probably go back and have another go!

One of the items was a gold wrapper from some chocolate we had in Italy a few years ago so unknowingly gave me a ticket to Art Journal Journey and Valerie's 'Heavy Metal' theme.


I cut up a flyer from a concert that my SIL and hubby took us to back in 2013 where there was a French choir singing English songs from 5 different centuries, the map shows a reminder of a lovely holiday in Scotland and of course, there has to be Paris.

Hubby's is totally different from mine


His map extract is of the Salisbury area - another holiday with happy memories. He has a special tag from a Lyme Park celebration(we're both looking forward to going back there soon!)He used one of my new Crafty Individuals stamps to show his love of wild animals.

One thing we shared were the flowers from special bouquet - there was a plastic/cellophane wrapper printed with flowers that I cut the flowers from a long time ago!

I can't believe how quickly this month has gone, they do say time flies when you're having fun and these shared sessions are certainly fun!

Thanks for looking, Chris

Wow Chris. That gold wrapper really is beautiful on the page and I love all the memories it holds. It tells such a great story and must have lots of meaning and memories. And your husband's page is also very good. I like is story too. These are great for AJJ. Have a great end of your week. Hugs-Erika

It’s amazing that you have so many objects from your trips and experiences, and that you both can assemble these memory collages that appear so meaningful. I often find that even a photo of some memorable place is missing from our things.

It appears I'm once again running behind visiting your blog. I'll be by tomorrow (Sunday) to catch up on what I've missed. At least that's the plan, anyway, Chris.
