Hi everyone, I enjoyed my trips to the Countryside at Art Journal Journey last month. Thanks to Alison for hosting a lovely Summer theme.
It's time to stay in for a while - just as well as the weather has cooled down a lot here - I went out in a coat on Thursday and yesterday!
We are lucky to have Neet guide us through this month where she is hosting the 'Type' theme.
I have a couple of Typewriter stamps (probably more if I could find them)
I used one by Aall and Create (Bipasha's design) for my page
I used Print Shop to alter a photo of hubby (taken on one of our Garden visits) He is definitely my type!
I'm not sure but I think the old typewriter lettering is a Kaisercraft set.
Please visit the Art Journal Journey blog where you will find some rules and regs about sizes and about what is accepted - we are mainly an Art Journaling blog.
You will also find lots of help and inspiration from Neet as well as some inspiration from the Admin Team.
Thanks for looking, Chris

What a great first entry thisv month, Chris. That stamp is wonderful and the image of your husband is perfect because he definitely IS your type. Just fabulous for Art Journal Journey dear,
I thought I recognised that man Chris. How wonderful that you could use him in your journal page like this.
I love that old typewriter lettering - so evocative.
Thanks for joining me at AJJ.
Hugs, Neet xx
Gorgeous piece Chris, and love that you put 'your type' into the typed page! Have a great Sunday, hugs, Valerie

Its a super stamp to use for the new AJJ theme Chris and your page looks fantastic. It was good to see the image of your hubby included,
Have a good rest of the weekend.

This is a fun age Chris. I especially love the altered photo of your husband. I thought maybe TH put out a new set, so that is very creative and makes a super page. Happy August. Hugs-Erika
Chris, I love all your images and fonts and the great picture of your hubby. All of it makes the BEST page! So fun!!!! Hugz
Your page is really wonderful Chris ! I loove the so beautiful background and the stamps, and that´s so nice to add the photograph of your husband, bravo !
I hope you are fine, with your family and friends.
I wish you a very nice Sunday, and I send big hugs,

Aaaww how nice that your husband is your type, and that is a good photo.
I learned to type on a typewriter like this one (it was ancient when I used it and was the only one around) and I love the messy font at the top of your picture, reminds me of what the ancient typewriter did.
What a cute page! :)
Cool work, love it.
A wonderful page Chris!
Happy August.
Alison
This is a great and great journal with a servant and the typewriter, i love your art!
It's cold for me too, but today the sun is shining again, it's storming on the coast!
Have a happy week, hugs, Elke
Oh, my gosh, what a fun page and take on the ‘TYPE’ theme, Chris! I love how you’ve gotten your man’s photo on your page and how he is in living color and the typewriter and type are monochromatic. Great contrast for interest. Those are such great type letters with the messy ribbon marks. Just like it was in real life some times. Great background too. LOVE this page!
Fabulous page, Chris. The gorgeous man is my type, too :))
Happy August xx
What a great play on words Chris, love how Hubby is in sepia he blends in with your page so well. I love it. Hugs Tracey xx
