Hi everyone. Happy Wednesday to you. I don't think today will be as wintery cold as yesterday was, but we will see about that when I go out walking this afternoon. We started our woodstove yesterday; it was that chilly😏. I know some of you probably already have snow... winter has arrived early this year for so many.
Today I want to share a page for Wendy's Moment in Time challenge at Art Journal Journey.
My moment in time refers back to the quote which is a very old Stampers Anonymous image.
I wanted to create a night page without making a solid black background, so I used this small honeycomb stamp and black ink. Then I tried to use some old black rub ons that didn't work well at all, so I used some printed tissue paper from Dina Wakely. I still didn't love my page, so I added some 49 and Market punch out flowers on the left.
I thought maybe I needed a border, so I used some white paper and die cut one, but then that was too white. Instead I added more flowers. OK, now my page wasn't too bad, not my favorite ever, but that happens, right? I finished my page by adding the moon and star stickers, adding a couple of crows on the bottom left, and finally using the quote.
Last week when we had the full moon the weather person said we could also maybe see the northern lights, so I went out a couple of times to see if there were any. I had no luck seeing the Aurora Borealis, but I did get a couple of interesting sky photos on my phone.
The moon was so bright and that made the sky a bit blue. It doesn't really look all much like night, does it? Except of course for the stars.
The com trail is obvious, but I'm not sure what the white blob to the left of it is.
In this next photo it looks like it was morning. I think it was about 8 PM when I snapped this.
And I like this photo of my house. And you can see the house across the street a bit too in the bottom left corner.
That's all for me today. Keeping this post short since my scheduled one for tomorrow is very long. 😉

The sky looks impressive and the colour varies from one night to the next so nothing is”off colour”, so to speak. Too bad you missed the Aurora Borealis but you got some fine shots anyway. All the best - David
Wow, your art and reality fit supergreat and are both wonderful! Thank you for sharing this and I hope you have an enlightening day!
Wow, in the city you never see the sky that clear other it´s like really, really cold! - thank you! Hugs
I think the honeycomb stamp is a great idea, and the flowers and other things go together very well. A very beautiful page!
These night photos in front of your house are gorgeous!
Have a lovely Wednesday!

You got some pink and blue in that sky with the moon, which is pretty amazing. Great shot. And I love the night photo of your house.
Good morning, I love your page, and wow awesome photos. we are warming up again too starting today-happy about that. Happy mid week Hugs Kathy
...Erika, such lovely night photos. My hats is off to you.
Those night sky photos are gorgeous, Erika. I have been loving your recent pages and tags :-)) The texture of the page background is so lovely.
You did an admirable job with a page that you weren't loving much, Erika--I feel it's turned out great. The night sky photos are so beautiful--love a bright moon, and the shot of your house looks pretty chic. Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week. Anita xx
Lovely page and beautiful moon!
I like the moon on your night time page as well as in the photo you took. I like the rainbow effect above the moon. Did you get snow today? We had some flurries this morning. 🤬too early for snow.
We used to be able to watch the aurora from bed in Alaska! I have fond memories of standing outside in winter watching the colors dance across the sky. Your night photos are so cool. I love night time and they give me such a calm and peaceful feeling.
Lovely photo. And I like your art.
I like your page and you've shared some lovely night photographs.
Happy Wednesday :)
All the best Jan
Major respect for getting out there to try and spot the Northern Lights. Even if you didn't catch the Aurora Borealis, those photos you got of the super-bright, blue-tinted moonlit sky are really cool. That glow around 8 PM that looks like morning is so eerie and beautiful.

It's hard to do night time pages, yours is lovely. I love that first moonlit pic with the different colors in the sky. And your house looks so different from that angle, kinda like 1970's split-level modern (which I know it most definitely is NOT haha). I hope you get a bit warmer weather! We had a cold front and I was proud for getting out my sweater, heehee. xox
Love your moment in time page! The texture image in the background makes for a great night sky as well as those gold stars and moon! The photos are stunning! HUGS
Hey Erika! Your photos are always incredible, my friend! I absolutely love your beautiful art journal page. I love your background (it almost looks like fabric) and especially like your title - it’s perfect for Wendy’s theme. And guess what? It just started snowing here - we were greeted with a light blanket of snow this morning. YAY! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your November. Hugs, Sharon
You used a honeycomb stamp to create a night page! Oh, what a fabulous idea! Great page for Wendy's challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Hugs,
