Hiya Claireliz here, with this weekends Weekend Workout
The challenge for this week is stamping, create anything you like as long as it has something stamped on it somewhere.
I love art journaling, even though I'm fairly new to it but my collection of stamps seems to be increasing since I've started my art journal, so today I have a journal page to share with you...
I've used several different stamps on this, first I covered my pages with Dried Marigold Distress Ink, then stamped the frame which is an Anna Griffin stamp (& one of my new ones) using coffee Archival Ink, then I used another new stamp on the next page that was supposed to be text like book pages all jumbled up, but it didn't stamp right so I grabbed the Rusty Hinge Distress ink & smooshed some over the top. I used one of my favourite Stampotique Stamps (Miss Snotty) to create the girl in the frame, she doesn't have a neck on the stamp so I drew one on card, coloured it with Promarkers along with the rest of the image & stuck it to the page, I used a roller stamp to create the number border, I also used the coffee Archival Ink again, I've had that stamp for years & it's one I randomly use whenever the mood takes, in this case it serves as a reminder to count to 10, the words are from a Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamp which I've had for years but never used - I know, shocking isn't it! lol I then rubbed a bit of Tea Dye Distress Ink that I had already on some cut & dry foam just to blend it in a bit. So I've used new, old & under used underloved stamps on this page, I'd love to see what you make so don't forget to leave us a link.

Hello there, Eleanor here, with a little bit of stamping as per Claire's challenge.
My grandboy is 1 year old next week, and when I saw some fab hot air balloons on a scrapbook layout by a Scrapfactor contestant - Sutty, I knew I wanted to make some. This is my card for the boy, with stamped clouds (Unity) heat embossed with that old favourite, seafoam white:
Thanks Claire for the challenge, and Sutty for the inspiration.

Great ideas, thanks for the inspiration.
I need to get my stamps out.

Love both of these - enjoyed those words 'smoosh' and 'underloved', and like the way you 'doodled' a neck for a negligent stamp. How clever the way the hot air-ballooned are stitched: so effective! Lovely, lovely things to look at, both of you.

Very different ideas but with the same theme.
The Hot air balloons are sooo cute and ideal for a scrapbook page too.
Lovely Journal page it looks like you had fun creating it.
