Hi everyone. Happy new month. It's already November. Where did October go to?
It's time for a new challenge over at Art Journal Journey since it's a new month. Let me first once again thank Alison for being such a super host, and also let me thank everyone who joined in. ❤
For November, our host is the talented Wendy, who (if you stop by AJJ frequently) you know from her blog Wendy's Arts and Craft Journal. Wendy has hosted for us many times before, and it's a fun theme she's chosen for this month. As Wendy mentioned on the AJJ blog page she is trying to avoid winter, so her theme this month is
On, In or By The Sea
There are so many ways to go with this theme, from tropical beaches to under the sea. And even if you don't want to avoid winter, you can do a winter ocean scene.
My first page comes from my love of beach walking. I tried to create a background that reminded me of the spottiness and colors of our local beaches. Then I used a definition stamp and stamped it on my page in a couple of colors of ink. I die cut several beach finds (shells, sand dollars, sea stars) from some printed paper. Finally I finished my page with the seashell postage mark and also the sea quote.
I hope you're inspired to join Wendy this month. Please remember we only accept art journaling, but that art journaling can be of any type. And I hate to have to say this every month, but no cards, ATCs or other forms of art please! 👍
Early last week we had some gorgeous October weather, so I took the dogs to the beach for a walk. I thought I'd finish my post with some sandy views that inspired my page today.
Have a great start to the new month.
