Hi everyone. Happy mid-week to you.
Today I have a journal page that you might consider a bit messy (because I do), but I still like it, especially if you don't look too closely at the painted edge.😏 And no, there was no real moose at my window, however on an occasion I do get a moose walking through my yard.
I started my page with a scrap of holiday wrapping paper left from last year and that was in my stash. I glued it down and then used white paint around the border to blend it into my page
I then die cut the window frame and the curtains (a Cheery Lynn/Maker's Movement die set). I used a pen to outline the curtains for some depth. I stamped the moose twice, once directly on my page (but that didn't work well with the bump from the die-cut, so I stamped and then fussy cut him out. I also added a bit of glossy accents into the window pains, which you can actually see. The window curtains are made with a scrap of lace and small piece of ribbon. Both the let is snow quote and the snow fun at the top are from a really really old set of stamps. Remember the company My Sentiments Exactly? I did outline the bottom "let it snow" phrase, and I punched out a scalloped circle and stamped the image in it.
There you have it. I hope you're having a good week. We've had some dreary wet and snowy weather weather so far, but today it's all rain. I'll be glad to see some sun (hopefully) tomorrow especially since I have walking plans. I hope you've had some lovely weather and enjoy your day.

I haven’t seen a moose in years. They are reliable in Algonquin Provincial Park in the spring when biting insects drive them into open areas where they are visible from the highway. But those same insects keep me away! All the best - David
A lovely holiday page! The weather over here ain't nice either...don't think we are going to get some sunshine at all..
Wow, Erika! I absolutely love your gorgeous art journal page. Using a scrap of holiday wrapping paper for your background is pure genius! It looks fabulous with the painted edges, the addition of snowflakes, and your die-cut window frame. The glossy accents and lace are amazing additions! And of course, I love your moose. That is so cool that you occasionally get them walking through your yard! Wow! Thanks so much for making this gorgeous page for my snow theme this month! Hugs, Sharon
...there are moose in the Adirondacks, but I've never seen one.
Lovely page! Better not to have a moose that close by anyway!
Love your holiday spread Erika! And that moose is just priceless! Have a very Merry Christmas! ((HUGS)) Helen
Let it snow over someone else's house. Not mine. Fun page. Did you get snow or rain today?
Well ... i think it's a lovely page.
Enjoy your December days, they seem to be speeding by!.
All the best Jan
It definitely looks cold there in your journal. Love the paper you used for the background and the window is fab - and yes, I can see the window panes for real.
Gosh you really see moose!
Hugs Neet xx
I love your beautiful page with the moose. Have a great day, hugs!
A fabulous snowy scene, love it. I’m not sure I would want moose in my garden !! Hugs Wendy.
Love this page! We never saw any moose in Maine, but they were always strolling around in Fairbanks. I did have one come to the window once. Our round house had large windows and a porch that wrapped halfway around. One morning, I'd just poured my coffee and turned around to sit at the table and have my breakfast, when I saw a moose on the porch looking in the window at my plate. I didn't share.
Great page, love your elements. xoxo
This is BRILLIANT. I love it. And a great way to cover the first moose, too. Thanks for sharing it with us at AJJ using Sharon's theme.
