Welcome December

 Hi everyone. Happy December. I feel like I was just writing Happy January, and now here we are, almost back full circle. 

  Since it is a new month, it is time for a new challenge at Art Journal Journey. Before I welcome our new host I want to thank Wendy for hosting last month. I also want to thank everyone who took a creative art  trip to the water to join in. It was a fun month and I love making ocean themed pages.Plus it was a nice chance to not think about winter. ❤

 Today I want to welcome a new host at Art Journal Journey. Not only new for December, but new to hosting at AJJ. I'm excited to welcome Sharon from That Girl Fritchey as our December host.  Her scrapbook pages are definitely fun journal designs. 

Sharon's theme is SNOW.

   Snow is a great theme for December because so many of us are getting or have already had some snow. For my first page I  started by stamped the snowing house scene and also the green for trees. Then I took a grey ink pad and rubbed it over my page. I purposely left some white spots because I wanted to create the effect that was still snowing in the page's scene.

   I then inked the mother and child walking through the snow and colored in their outfits. Since I couldn't get the ink pad all the way to the edge of the page because of the spiral binding, I added some blue holographic tape that I've had since back in the 90's when I did a lot of scrapbooking. To finish, I used a quote stamp from my stash.

  Just a couple of dreaded rules for you to be aware of also. We do not accept cards, tags, ATC's unless they are on a journal page. BUT we do accept any kind of journal page. Also be aware that if you link up through social media not all of us may be able to comment back on your page.

   Elizabeth and I hope you're inspired by snow no matter what hemisphere you live in and will join Sharon and us  here at Art Journal Journey this month.

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