Hi everyone. Happy October to you. I feel like I was just writing happy May or happy June (grin) and now here we are in autumn. October is a lovely month though, one of my favorites, and I'm excited for our new Art Journal Journey challenge also. (FYI, this is a scheduled post as I'll be home from Quebec sometime today-October 1.)
But first, let me thank Aimeslee for being a great host last month. I think we all enjoyed her Anything Goes challenge. It was a lot of fun to see all the various themes people used on their journal pages. Thanks again Aimeslee for hosting, and thank you everyone who joined in.
This month I want to welcome the talented Alison, who you probably know from her blog Crafty Trog's Arty Adventures. The theme she chose is
Autumn Colors and Inspiration
My first page for this Autumn theme is one from my Harvest/Garden journal. Autumn is the season of Scarecrows, and for some people counting up their garden trophies. And of course, you wouldn't need a scarecrow if it wasn't for crows.
On the left side of my page I have a watercolored background, a die cut and colored scarecrow as well as some die cut wheat shafts and crows. There's also a stamped and fussy cut crow and a couple of layers of tape. On the right side I have a watercolored background, a stamped garden image (that I used markers to color), some more die cut crows, and a fussy cut image of a blue ribbon that I then enhanced with a brighter blue marker and some glitter glue.
Please remember at
Art Journal Journey we only accept art journaling, but any type of journaling works for us. Please no cards, tags, ATC's and other non-journaling forms. And if you link up through social media, we may not be able to comment on your post.
I hope you're as excited about autumn colors and autumn inspired art, and we'll see your journaling at Alison's challenge.
