Weekend Post

   Hi everyone. I hope you're having a lovely weekend. It's been a  COLD couple of days with high temperatures around 28 degrees F (-2 degrees C) with a wind making it feel even colder. My husband went out Christmas shopping yesterday, so I took advantage of the quiet house and made some holiday cookies or the dough and then chilled them. ❤

    Today I have some art to share, first a journal page for Sharon's Snow challenge Art Journal Journey and then some tags I made to put on my Christmas cards. I'll be linking the tags up to Pinky's Christmas challenge at Tag Tuesday

My dogs have always loved snow. In fact our last dog before Miss Maddie and Mr. Pete was Harley. He was a big German Shepard mix  who absolutely loved cold snowy weather. His ideal weather was when the temperature was bitter and there was snow on the ground and he would roll around and stretch out and even fall asleep. ❤

Harley was good boy, and I still miss him.

     My journal page today was made with blue watercolor paint and some white acrylic paint. I also die cut the dogs on white paper and inked them with some brown ink. The dog die also had a ball with it, but I made it white and sparkly to be snow balls. I also drew a pile of snowballs on the left. I used various stamps and black ink to add the words, and then I finished by splattering some white paint for a little more snowy effect.

    For Pinky's  Tag Tuesday challenge I have not one but 6 ornament tags. I had made a few earlier (and shared them for Try It on Tuesday), and then I decided they would be great for card fronts, so I made a second batch, using a few ornament dies I've had for the shapes. Here's that second batch.

     I used various items from my stash to decorate them, and the base for them all is some sparkle cardstock. I inked the edges and used some metallic and black  Sharpie markers to finish decorating them.

     I'm also linking up to Gillena's Sunday Smiles.

    That's all for me today. I hope your weekend is going well and that you had a great start to the new week ahead.
