a couple of days ago I shared the right hand side of my first RED pages for Linda’s Art Journal Journey theme of “Fifty shades of RED”…
it is unusual that I do not finish both sides of a spread at the same time but I confess my creativity has been a little off center so far this year…
sometimes inspiration is right over your shoulder as this photo shows a bit of a hodgepodge of things that usually only we see at the top of our stairs…
I scanned the bumper sticker and cut the letters to fit my page vertically (by the way I would NEVER do this if I were going to sell what I made… this is strictly for personal use in my journal)…
a few more rubons and a bit of stamping with thanks to Jo of Let’s Art Journal and her great eye for detail …
she helped me remember with her nice comment on the right side of my spread when she remarked on the fine lines in the background which reminded me I had forgotten to mention I used a favorite Tin Can Mail Inkadinkado rubber stamp to add interest and tie into the black rubons a bit too…
life moves so fast I see I will be adding a bit of red pencil edging to the left hand page now that I see it on the big screen…
it also represents passion, heat, strength, danger, power and courage…
we’ve had so many cloudy days this month I kept waiting for a good time to take some photographs…
blackberry and cucumber flavored sparkling water … 
we had a “conversational” snowfall on Saturday which was just enough to add a sheer white blanket to the garden…
