Hiding!

Hi everyone, this will be my final post for my 'When We Were Young'  theme at Art Journal Journey blog.

I have really enjoyed reminiscing over some of the pages. 

Thank you all for taking time to make pages when it was hot or you had holidays booked - it really was appreciated. There were some wonderful pages to inspire everyone, which I think is what Art Journal Journey is all about.

When I was little we lived on a nursery, I'm sure some of you already know that. My brother and I were lucky as after everyone had gone home we had a huge empty road to ride our bikes up and down or play ball games. There was also the temptation to play in parts that we couldn't go in when tractors etc were being driven around.

Piles of soil and sand, stacks of sleepers, pots and crates all made play areas, which used to get us into trouble.

My Dad had responsibility for the property when work finished so if we went off to play in these areas he would get quite cross with us. My brother and I still continued to go back to these places though!

This very old stamp reminded me of those times. I made a background of paint stencilled over with a flower stencil. The image was stamped onto the inside of an envelope. I added extra flowers with the little stamps I bought at a museum in Paris. The quote is from a Lindsay Mason set. 

I'm looking forward now to our new AJJ host's theme - I think you're going to love it!

Thanks for looking, Chris
