Sunday Art and Things

 Hi everyone. Happy weekend. I hope yours is going well so far.

    We had some more light snow last night, and it's been chilly, so it's feeling like winter. Brrr. But we're in for a warm up in the next few days, as well as some rain, so who knows what mess we might have left once we see some sun again.😏

    Friday I posted some art with a wolf, and many of you commented on that. I was really lucky once (in 2012) and saw wild wolves, a Mom and her 2 pups.  You can see Mom below. She had been collared by wildlife specialists since you can see she has on one of those tracking collars.

    We were on another giant roadtrip after flying into Spokane, Washington. We went to Glacier National Park in Montana, and from there up to Banff and Jasper National Parks in Alberta. We had spent the day at Lake Louise, and we were driving back to Banff on the Bow Valley Parkway. That's when we noticed a couple of cars pulled over to the side, and there these 3 wolves were, running along the road. Finally they all scooted into the woods.  Here's my original post where those photos were if you're interested: Trip Wildlife.

   Besides the wolves,  today I have a couple of art pieces to share.  First of all, I do have a journal page for Sharon's Snow challenge over at Art Journal Journey.  Then I have a tag for  Tag Tuesday.  I am also linking up to Gillena's Sunday Smiles.

 

    My AJJ journal page started with a punch out snowy scene image. After gluing that down, I stamped the snowman. It's a TH image from his holiday release, and I really loved the set so I splurged and bought it. I did a bit of coloring with markers on Mr. Snowman. 

     I also stamped the Santa in his sleigh and the "Ho, Ho, Ho" quote. I colored in the "ho,ho,ho" with a black Sharpie. I then added a printed tree image from 49& Market. I have been loving their punch-out images lately since they punch with no white border. 👍 And finally I finished off my page with some felt trim that I've had for ages in my stash. 

    I'm also squeaking in a tag for Sandie's Letters of the Alphabet challenge at Tag Tuesday.You must use at least 3 letters so I stamped a lot of random alphabet letters. Maybe I should have spelled out a holiday word to go with my holiday theme, but when I started the tag I didn't quite know where I was going to go with it.

   I suppose you're not really going to read the letters in the background so they work. I inked the background with 2 colors of ink.  I used a large punch out poinsettia image as my main centerpiece. Then I used the candle sticker and did some coloring around the red outline (which was all the sticker actually was). Finally I highlighted the edges in red, added an old plaid sticker, and finally a TH Christmas sticky message from the same old phrase booklet where the plaid tape came from.

   That's all for me today. I hope you enjoy whatever is left to your weekend and have a great start to the new week.
