Hi everyone. Happy October 30th to you. We're already at the end of October, well just about, which means that today I am sharing my last pages for Alison's challenge at Art Journal Journey. Thank you Alison for a great theme this month and more importantly, for being a wonderful host. And thank you everyone who joined us. Of course there's still a bit of time left to October, so if you want to join in, you still can.
Today I'm going with pumpkins, since tomorrow is Halloween. In fact my first page has a couple of not so spooky jack-o-lanterns to on it.
This first spread is from my Autumn Harvest journal. Not my favorite from the journal, but it works.
I used some leaf printed paper for the background. I really wanted to use this old TH photo of the man and boy in the pumpkin patch so my page is centered around that image. I colored the pumpkins in the photo just to enhance them.
I also die cut the wagon, and then I stamped as well as fussy cut a few pumpkins to put into it. I added some thin black washi tape and some black die cut lace along the bottom. To finish off my page, I typed and printed some common fall pumpkin foods, inked the paper and then cut it into strips for my page. Then I added a couple of felt jack-o-lanterns I had in my stash to finish it off.
My other page is in my autumn journal. The back side of this page was already stitched, so I worked around the stitching. I painted the background orange, and then I used a stencil with some white paint. Once dry I added the die cut stars, some punch out leaves, a pipe image, the sparkly moon and another felt pumpkin from my stash. I finished with some sticky quotes.
I still have some page from my autumn journal to share, but I'll save those for some other post.
Right on schedule, we have had just enough wind in the last week that many of the leaves have come down off the trees.
But they're not quite all down yet. Thank goodness Costco had battery operated leaf blowers on sale. 😏
That's all for me.
