if you don’t already know Marit you will definitely want to stop by her blog for a visit…
she is a powerhouse of ideas and inspiration and even has her own magazine called “FEATURING” which is all about art journaling, mixed media and more…
here is what she says about her latest project…
“As of June 12, there will be an inspirational post on my blog every Tuesday this Summer. This will go on for 10 weeks – posts handling a theme or a technique or… let’s say: ‘something’ that can be used as an inspiration to get your creative juices flowing. I will think of fun, small challenges to go with it, and you will probably have the possibility to leave your link with each post when you played along.”

the magical lady with her blue wings is layered on a piece of parchment paper that came in between packaged cheese slices…
I stamped the face on the back of a plastic tomato ‘carton’ top as the Lady Moon Organic food logo always speaks to me plus the produce is very good too…
oftentimes a quote or words are my spark for starting a page…
but this time the Lord Byron quote came last…
I do Love quotes and all shades of blue…
“Oh! `darkly, deeply, beautifully blue’, As someone somewhere sings about the sky.” ~Lord Byron
I am looking forward to Marit’s Tuesday prompts and her Quirky Dutch Summer
