The sky after the snow

The Collegiate Peaks
Colorado
Post snow sky above the Collegiate Peaks.  Snow covered peaks sit under the pink sky filled with pink, blue grey and nearly purple clouds playing at sunset.  Some blue sky peeks out too.

Piñon up close
(Also called pinyon pine)

Colorado
Piñon or pinyon pine tree in snow close to the Collegiate Peaks.  The dark trucks are often twisted in various shapes while still growing upwards.  The nuts and cones are very sticky.  The deer like to lay under the trees in the snow.  Pinyon trees are drought resistant.

Stairs and hallways
Brown Palace Hotel
Denver, Colorado
Managed to get a people free pic of the interior open levels of hallways and stairs at the famous Brown Palace Hotel.  A few lower archways can be seen in the lower right of the photo.  Had a girls day out for tea.  Quite tasty and interesting.  Had never been there before.  Some interesting reads about the hotel can be found on line and in books if you are so inclined.  There is a suite dedicated to the Beatles who stayed there in August 1964 before their concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater.  It is carved out of beautiful red rocks in the foothills west of Denver.

There are several. I think the one here in the museum is retired. Very cool though 🌿🌱🍃🤗

Again, a big thank you to all who take a gander at my posts and like or repost.
Yesterday someone said that people might not be interested in my posts. I am not a political analyst, lawyer or professional photographer. I post from my heart to bring a bit of joy. They did apologize so 🩵💙💜

Junk journal tag

See ALT for process
Recycled chipboard cut into a tag shape.  Corners rounded on bottom and top edges angled.  The board is covered with large decorative washi tape before the shape is cut.  I usually add lined journal paper on the back to add writing space to the piece.    All edges of the tag are inked to add an antiqued junk journal look to it.  I use all parts of recycled board.  The little brown circles under and around the tag are what I punch out to use on portfolio closures as mentioned in my previous post.  Nothing goes to waste.

The final inside of the little portfolio

See ALT for process
The center of the portfolio.  On the two flaps on each side I have added more journaling paper.  At the base inside here I have added two pockets made from sturdier paper than I use to cover the chipboard.  There is a taller pocket and a shorter pocket, each notched to indicate it is a pocket and you can add goodies to it.  I decorated the small pocket with a mini label on the lower left side. I tucked replicas of old calling cards and tickets into the smaller pocket and a replica of an old book/music cover into the upper large pocket.  All cards are blank on the back and can be journaled on.  Old recycled file folders are also great to create the portfolios out of and use in junk journal pieces.

Portfolio continued
The first section after the cord is untied

See ALT for process
The little portfolio continues…Once the cord is opened, the next section is a writing section.  The inside of this section is also covered with papers since I use recycled chipboard that needs to be covered.  There is one more section that will be seen in next photo.

A little portfolio I made.

I used recycled chipboard to make the closures. Next pic will show the inside.

See ALT for process
Junk journal piece.  A little portfolio that opens up and has writing spaces and pockets to add memorabilia if desired.  This is flat enough that it can be added to a junk journal by tucking it in a pocket or gluing the back cover to a journal page.  The base is recycled chipboard/lightweight like Kleenex or cereal boxes.  I decide on the shape of the portfolio then cut that.  Sometimes a large piece is scored to create flaps or additional pieces can be added with glue if the piece gets too large.  I then cover the front and back with lightweight paper, often scrap pieces.  Corners are rounded with a punch.  Edges are inked in an antique light brown shade.  The circles on which the string is added to are punched from recycled board.  I ink the circles.  A tiny hole is punched in the circle and in the portfolio and a tiny brad is added, attaching the circle to the front of the portfolio to create a closure.  Then the cord is added.  Tiny labels are added and sometimes other ephemera.  See next pic and ALT for inside info.

A little bit of snow on the piñon pines.
Near the Collegiate Peaks area.
Colorado.
Was 31° and snow at 11:00am today.
Light snowfall on the piñon pine trees.  Looks almost like a black and white pic.  Cloudy skies above.  The nuts on these trees are very sticky.  Amateur mistake trying to harvest them by hand.

Big Boy
#4005 Locomotive
On display in Colorado at the Forney Museum
The front of the Big Boy locomotive #4005 on display at the Forney Museum of Transportation in Denver, Colorado.  The photo does not to justice to the enormous size of this locomotive.  It is huge!  The entire museum is rather historically interesting.

Guess some sleep would be a good idea. Played outside today and stayed up late. More free time this week to create art. Hope you have a great day 🍃🌿🌱
