All Aboard for AJJ


A travel hybrid page that began its own journey  from this spread......




A sprinkle of Brusho power  and a good spray of water for the background..
These were  try out pages for  some Tim Holtz stamps.




I had a picture of a rail travel poster  that I wanted to add,  I thought it quite unusual to see a piece of a train carriage used as the shape for the British Isles.
The train I have had stored for ages, so sorry I cannot remember where it came from to give credit.






My journey today would be by train, an old steam engine  chugging along,
a more leisurely way to reach your destination and see the countryside.
I will be joining the folk at
 Art Journal Journey
with this spread
 where the theme hosted by Erika is.... Journeys.

Thank you for stopping by to see me today,
I always appreciate the comments you leave for me.

  3. This is a great spread Yvonne. I love the train image- tomorrow I used a train in on my post too. Great minds think alike I guess. I also love the Brusho background. I like how you used the ad to make it more like a travel poster too. Have a great weekend-hugs-Erika

  13. I've seen Umbrella Man, but never Balloon Man. This stamp is wonderful.

    Golly, that train image the shape of the British Isles is simply unbelievable. I was over the moon when I saw it, since I have such a love for my ancestral home! Thanks for the ride today.
