Hi everyone, we have a new topic at Try It on Tuesday - 'Let's Go Outside' - something we have been able to do without getting a soaking lately.
We want to know what there is outside in your entries, some of you may have had trips a way from home to inspire you but it could be something as simple as stepping outside your door. Please take a look here at the Design Team inspiration.
My page could be anywhere - we love to visit gardens and this page also reminds me of our garden when we owned a caravan. We have a communal garden here at our retirement complex but not so many song birds.
It is the one I usually take to coffee shop journaling sessions with friends.
This is my kit, the little bag came from ASDA and I added another insert to give me two more pockets.
I have a few lengths of Washi tape wrapped around some old craft packaging,a mini glue stick the old sweet tins contain small images, scraps of journal fodder and words cut from magazines and books as well as some small word stamps. There is also a 4 colour pen and a sticky ended 'picker upper' for small pieces.
The journal also has plastic wallet style storage for more scraps.
I hope you will join us at Try It On Tuesday this time, please 'Let's Go Outside' and share how you have been inspired.
I am also joining Art Journal Journey where I am hosting with my theme 'Where In The World?'
Thanks for looking, Chris
I am not being paid to mention these products - just very happy to be using them
Love this little page Chris - saw a Greenfinch yesterday whilst out at the local woods!
ReplyDeleteWow! You can really pack a ton of supplies in that little bit of a bag!
ReplyDeletePretty page, too. :)
You certainly know how to pack a lot in a small amount of space. Most impressive. Of course, I love your little birds, too. That background is wonderful and filled with lovely layers. It is also a great page for your theme at AJJ.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to go outside today. It is 107 F (41.67 C) and that is not even the feels like temp, which is higher due to our high humidity.
That little journal works great, doesn't it? And I like your carry everything pouch too. You are right about this page; it could be anywhere, and I really like the birds too. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYour bird page is so beautiful! I'm also really excited about your little kit - I'm impressed how much you were able to fit in there. And I love the idea of bringing it with you to be able to sit down creating whereever you might be. Very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYou are so organised and I can see connections with your friend Sarah here. What a nifty little package you have there for use when you go on your travels. What size is the book please? I think a visit to this Kay is in order.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your arm is still sore. Hope it heals soon.
Hugs, Neet xx

Bird watching is my favorite outside activity and I love your journal page! Your little wallet is so well organized! It sounds like fun to go to a coffee shop and build your journal. Thanks so much for the warm welcome at Try it on Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteA tad late with my comments - but I love this page, you've added so many details on such a small page. We get Greenfinches in the garden feeding on the nuts and coconuts, such a pleasure to watch.
ReplyDeleteLove your little storage system - WOW you certainly get a lot in there.
