Hi everyone.
The last 2 weeks have flown by and our Magical challenge at Try It On Tuesday is now over. Thanks to all of you who joined us. And also thanks to Repolainen for being our guest designer.
For the next two weeks our challenge is Winter Wonderland.
My journal page is made using this piece of starry night paper. The stars look like falling snow. I also added a very watered down light wash of white paint to the top of my page. I like how it created more of a feeling of cold and falling snow. I would say looking at my page that this snow has been accumulating for awhile. I used some white mesh paper as a base to show that. I also spread some silver glitter glue over the white mesh paper to create a bit of sparkle.
This adorable little girl is a Sizzix die. I didn't want a lot of colors on my page so I kept her white.
The felt snowflake was something I found in the $1 bin at Target a few weeks back after I had completed the rest of my page. There were four felt snowflakes in the package, 2 white and 2 red. I thought the red one really popped off of the page. Not that I have ever seen a red snowflake. Smile. I just liked the surprise of it being red and how it worked on my page. I even dressed it up a bit too.
Finally I stamped the quote which is from old Technique Tuesday set.
Don't forget to check out the art from the other design team members also. There is a lot of wonderful inspiration that might might help you jump start a winter wonderland piece.
All kinds of art is accepted at Try It on Tuesday, and you have 2 weeks to join this challenge.
I am also linking up my art journal page to Chris' All Kinds of Weather challenge at Art Journal Journey. This winter wonderland scene also definitely works for an art journaling weather challenge.
Lastly, I am also linking up to day 23 over at Art Every Day Month, hosted by the talented Leah.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

Wonderful page Erika, a beautiful winter image. Love the splashes and splatters, and the wonderful quote! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
I love the texture of this beautiful winter page!
Great work, Erika. It is a great coincidence that you used the word "unique" because a good friend and I, he a retired university professor, just had an energetic discussion about the word. My contention is that it means one and only, no other like it - unique in fact. He is given to saying things like "quite unique" or "very unique" and I contend there can be no such thing. You are either unique or not. I think the way you have used it in your piece implies exactly that - better to be the one and only! Have a great Tuesday! All the best. David
I love how the little girl looks like she is holding out her hand trying to capture the snowflake. I also like your dark background, which helps the little girl pop. The texture you created is great, too. That makes it perfect for Chris's theme at Art Journal Journey.
Love the page..good work Erika
A gorgeous wintry page Erika!
Oh Wow! This looks such a simple page at first glance but the addition of the white paint and the mesh paper and glitter make me realise that it is anything but simple! I love it of course, and I am so pleased that you shared it also at AJJ for my theme, hugs, Chrisx
Such a beautiful winter wonderland! It looks so magical and elegant with the dark blue, white and red colour combination and the snowflakes and little girl are so pretty - love it 😀. Wishing you a lovely week! Hugs Jo x

LOVE that background texture! Just yummy! And your little girl does look like she is enjoying that first snowfall! Have a fabulous week! ((HUGS)) Helen
Oh I love this one Erika, it is really beautiful and definitely a winder wonderland feel to it. Happy belatedAEDM for yesterday! Elle/EOTC xx
You certainly captured the essence of the first fall of snow and the joy of a child watching it and catching the snowflakes as they flutter down.
I love the shade of blue you used for the background and that red snowflake adds a lovely wintry contrast.
Hugs, Neet xx
Wonderful page , love the little girl catching snowflakes, remember doing that when I was a child😀

I'm a bit late catching up Erika, but better late than never!
I love this page, the night sky background looks fabulous and the little girl catching snowflakes just steals the show for me. Love the quote and the pop of red of the felt snowflake.
We've just had our first snowfall, and after a frosty night it's very cold and crunchy to walk on.
Hope you're having a great weekend.
