Hi Friends,

I am trying to catch up a bit with the journalling events that I planned to join this month, and I’m feeling quite good that I am up to date with Care December and working my way through the other two challenges.  The main issue at the moment is having so little good light to take the photos – approx a hour a day lol – so I need to be quick and home at the right time!  If you haven’t heard of this event, Care December is held by the Wanderlust people, Everything Art UK, it’s a free event that anyone can join on their website.

Today’s Art . . .

About today’s pages:  This background is sprayed with Infusions and splattered with gold paint.  Oops the watermark is over the title in the photo below but it is the Seasons page.  I kept it wintry with snow, snowflakes and sheep, and some small tags about winter.  The facing page uses a wreath diecut with the quote in the middle, but then I added more layers on top using some diecut and painted leaves and some white diecut fir tree branches.

About the journal:  This entire journal is made from handmade paper and all the negative pieces leftover from diecutting all those Christmas cards a few weeks ago.  I was using A4 paper for all the diecutting and so I was left with all of that diecutting waste, so I decided I would use it for the background of my pages.  On top of that I sprayed either Infusions, or Distress Oxide or a combination of both, so for a change the inside of my journal has a consistent look!  I am also using some old paper that I found in a drawer, it’s a book of hmm I guess like a cardmaking kit, so there are lots of elements that you are supposed to assemble into cards.  It cost me £3 years ago and I liked the wintry images, so I figured I would try and use it up in this journal and see how it went.  I also typed out all the daily prompts and printed them out and glued them to each page.

Since this page is very wintry I am also sharing it with Jo’s theme of Snowy Winter over on Art Journal Journey (link below).

Let me know what you think in the comments.   As always, thanks for reading!

I really LOVE how you addressed The Seasons and that wreath with the sentiment is awesome. I really like both of these. Thanks for another great entry at AJJ for Jo’s theme.
