Hi everyone. Happy Sunday. I hope your weekend is going well. We're having some warm October weather after a couple of pretty cold weeks. And with the colorful foliage, it's just a lovely weekend. ❤
I'm back today with another journal page for Alison's Autumn Colors and Inspiration at Art Journal Journey. I am also linking up to GIllena's Sunday Smiles.
This is another page from my autumn journal I made last month. You can see I used a lot of scraps of paper including this sky view paper on my page. I also used my sewing machine to stitch the edges of my page because I pulled the spiral apart and took out the pages to work on them. (Afterwards I put them back into the spiral binding.)
I liked the steampunk cat. He doesn't have to be black because this isn't a Halloween page, but he does have some cool kitty goggles. I think he lives with a mad scientist in the beautiful house behind him.
My autumn thoughts behind this page were just how much shorter the days are; hence how much longer the nights are. With leaves still on the trees in my yard, I am needing to start turning on lights in some rooms by 2:30 in the afternoon. Once we lose the leaves I get a bit more afternoon sun, but the sun is so low right now the leaves block a lot of it.
To finish off my page I also used a punch out set of leaves, some small black half craft-pearls, some black lace tape as well as a metallic paper moon. The quote is a printed piece of chipboard.
Keeping this post short. Have a great rest of your weekend and start to the new week.

Love your journal page
October weather here has become ridiculous. Yesterday it got up to 21 degrees C and we took our lunch to a local park and ate at a picnic table. It’s a little crazy for late October. All the best - David
That's a cute kitty! I love that leaf..
The cat looks good with goggles.
Very nice page :-)
I look forward to tomorrow when the heating gets repaired, my legs fell of, I guess (kidding, but it´s cold!)
Steampunk is always cool(in another way).
To warm days? Hugs, take care, buuuhhh (Halloween-buh - to a great, WARM Sunday)
Beautiful, well done Erika 👍🏼
Have a happy new week ahead 🥰💐🐛
Lovely page!
Your journal page is beautifu, love it. The moon has been shining very bright here. It doesn't get dark here till much later, either. Have a nice evening, hugs!
...short days are marching on, enjoy sun when you can.
Awesome journal page, Erika.
Thanks for linkibg to SundaySmiles
Much♡love
I like the squares paper peeking out and it is a cute steampunk kitty. I'm surprised you have to turn on lights that early in the afternoon, wow. So different from here. Honey and I were just discussing how in two weeks it'll be getting dark earlier. Dang, hope those leaves fall before the time change! XOX
I love the Steampunk kitty and the story you made up about him or her. I hope your weather was as spectacular as the weather we are having in the Berkshires. Mid- 70s in October! - CJ
This is such a cool page! I adore the kitty with the glasses! The sky looks fantastic! The harvest moon a few days ago was very cool looking!
A lovely page :)
All the best Jan
I love how the cat is joining in with the autumnal festivities and wearing a rather fetching mask over his eyes.
This page just shows how you do not have to have oranges and reds to be autumnal and I love how you have used that quote because of what happens at home. We too have the lights on mid afternoon. I enjoy it more when it's winter and we can close the curtains and settle down in front of the pretend fire and feel all cosy and warm. October seems a wee bit too early for me.
Hugs, Neet xx
A gorgeous Autumn page Erika, I love the Steampunk cat too.
We have had a lot of heavy rain this week, but also some beautiful sunny days. Fortunately the rain has been mainly at night, as we are on our holidays on the stunning Devon coast.
Happy Friday!
