Hi everyone. It's Tuesday, and time once again for a new challenge at Try It on Tuesday. Thank you everyone who joined our Get Ready For Christmas challenge. There were lots of fun holiday designs, and I'll have a tough time picking my top 5 for certain. 😀
Our latest challenge which runs for the next 2 weeks is SNOWFLAKES.
I was (well still am) having fun playing with all my Christmas supplies, so my page today may not feel cold or be the snowiest of pages. You know that saying "If Kisses were snowflakes I'd send you a blizzard...". Well my mind twisted that all around, and I was thinking about how fun it would be if Christmas ornaments could fall like snowflakes (without breaking of course) and magically decorate a tree. I'm not sure how my brain went from snowflake kisses to Christmas ornaments, but it illogically did. 😉
I made my page in my ledger journal. The background is inked red and then I double stamped an Arden background image twice across the middle. All the ornaments are an old Hero Arts image that I stamped, colored and also added a bit of glitter to. The tree is a punch out piece from older set from 49 and Market. I die cut the snow flakes using a couple of older dies and then lined them up across the page. The bunny is from a Ciao Bella ephemera book. Then I added a couple of other punch out images, a couple of stamped postmarks and finally a quote from a set of scrapbooking quotes. I outlined the quote so it would stand out.
If you're looking for some other snow art ideas check out the other pieces from the design team. As always, our challenge runs for the next 2 weeks.
I'm also going to link up my page to Wendy's Moment in Time challenge at Art Journal Journey. Christmas is many moments in time, and so are the times on the postage cancellations. The challenge at Art Journal Journey runs through this upcoming Sunday and is only open to art journal page.
I hope you are inspired by snow and join us at Try It On Tuesday with your snowy art.

No! I did not know that saying but sure will keep it, how sweet, to good blizzards!
And such a cute page, too!
The night before I really dreamed we had snow... huh, usually that comes around February but in the TV-news they said it is unusually cold for the season.
To magic, I could need it - have a great day, hugs
Hi Erika! Your art journal page is absolutely charming! I love your pretty red background and how your brain went from snowflakes to Christmas ornaments! That’s so creative! I love your perfect sentiment, too. Thanks for sharing! And here’s wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Hugs, Sharon
Lovely page and cute lil bundled up bunny! xoxo
If kisses were snow flakes, I'd send you a blizzard is a new saying to me. I love it. I can see a cartoon with that. Bogs, kissing blizzards. I'm learning a lot this morning. So fun.
What a gorgeous festive page! Lovemhow those baubles are falling like snowflakes and the little rabbit is super cute 😊. Happy wishes! Hugs, Jo x
I love that you used a red background for your fantastic snowflake themed page Erika, a great sentiment as well about the snowflake kisses, it jabbed a few memories for me.
You're already in Christmas mood, and it's OK; it's only once a year 😄 Your art is beautiful 👍🏼
A lovely cheerful page with the red background. I’m pleased to say that so far no snowflakes here. Hugs Wendy.
A lovely festive page Erika, love the idea of baubles just magically decorating the tree by themselves. The row of snowflakes look fabulous against the red background. Avril xx
Another lovely page, Erika! Great for Wendy's challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Hugs,
