Hi everyone. I'm waking up to a winter wonderland this morning. ❄ I guess since it's meteorological winter I should expect it. Last year we had snow at Thanksgiving, so I guess I could say it's even on the late side this year. 😏 I know many of you were also in the path of this same storm too, and I wonder if and how much snow other people received. Once it gets light out I'll be able to get a better measurement, but when I wrote this post last night we had about 5 or 6 inches (12.7-15.4 cm).
Today I have some art to share for a couple of challenges. Let me start by joining Lynn's Red and Green challenge over at Tag Along (and ATC's). They're now also accepting bookmarks, which is a super idea since so many tags look or could easily be used for a bookmark.
I used and old smaller Hero Arts Holly stamp to decorate the background. I also inked the background with some green ink and then used some markers to color and highlight the edges of the holly. The little elf is also from a Hero Art set; This one has not only the stamp but the matching die with it. I used some markers to color this cherry little guy. Before I glued him down I added a bit of washi tape. And after I glued him down I decided the tag little a little empty so I added this winter flower image which is a punch out from 49 and Market. To finish, I used a stamped quote from a TH holiday quote set. I then fussy cut and added it.
And if the right hand top of the tag looks a little strange, that's because when I was photographing it another tag slid down behind it a bit, and I didn't notice it until later. Sorry about that.
My journal is 8x8, and this background paper from Stamperia fits it just right. I then took an image from a Ciao Bella image book and cut it out. That is the image you find in the center of the page. I did use a bit of grey ink pad ink along the edge of the image so it would blend in a bit more.
I cut the Santa sticker from the same booklet. The snowflake on the left is a die cut, and I also added a gold metallic paper star. Finally I used some white ink to stamp the quote, but for the life of me I can't remember what set I took the quote from, If course I made this page a couple of weeks ago, but I'm not sure that's a good excuse. 😏
That's all for me today. I hope your week is going well.

...Erika, keep jingling and stay warm and well.
Hello Erika! Oh so lovely! I love all the artwork you have made. BeautifuL! :)
Lovely page and tag, we are in winter here too in Toronto. -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
So happy!
Both pages are so festive and lovely!
Both the tag and journal pages would make beautiful Christmas cards. We mostly had an ice event. My cousin in Hudson, NH said he got 9 inches of snow. Stay cozy today.
wonderful page and tag! So sweet!!! hugs Elke
Me encantó 👏👏👏
What a darling elf tag and your winter page with vintage Santa is darling! It's that time for some warm winter crafting!
Ah, lovely and fun artwork. The first one is so cheerful and the second one so peaceful--love them.
I love your art Erika
Hugs
Can't believe you already had snow. When I lived in Boston in the 90s, I don't recall getting much snow. You folks are so artistic and inspiring; I might do some crafting soon.
Hi Erika! Are you able to show us your snowflake dyecutter? I'm interested in learning more about that. Really looks cute. You do a great job with your art and your journals are super duper creative. Thanks for sharing what you make with us. Happy Christmas Month 🎄
Gorgeous Winter page and red and green tag, love both of them. Have a happy December, hugs Wendy.
Very nice winter works dear Erika. Oh, you had a lot of snow. We had some and some lower temperatures for days so it did not melt and I could do my self-made cross-country trail. But now it will get a bit too warm . Hope we get some snow soon.
Have a good time
Violetta...and thanks for your so kind visits to my blog.
Love your festive tag and your journal page is beautiful. X
A tad late arriving Erika, still a bit rudderless. That's quite a lot of snow, certainly by our standards, if we get more than a couple of inches the UK comes to a standstill as we never seem prepared.
I love your winter cold ad frosty creation but your entry for Tag-Along (and ATC's) is such fun, so bright and cheery for the festive season. So pleased you joined us, many thanks.

Hi Erika! I absolutely love your tag and art journal page! They’re so creative!! The tag is beautifully designed and super cute. I love how your adorable elf really stands out! And the winter scene you created in your art journal is simply stunning! It brings a feeling of Christmas cheer and peace to me!
Oh, and guess what? We got snow here too! We only got about 2 inches before it turned into a wintry mix, then all rain. So Monday ended with a big sloppy mess that all turned to ice the next day! I guess I should expect this kind of weather in Winter, when anything can happen.
Thank you so much, Erika, for creating this beautiful page for my Winter theme this month! I’m so happy you did. Hugs, Sharon
Don't you love it when you get the perfect background paper for your page... 😊 The scene you've created is just beautiful, Erika. Enjoy the snow. Anita xx
Really beautifully made winery art; both tag and page 🥰
Have wonderful exciting time before Christmas my friend 😘🎉
That is a fun tag, Erica and a lovely Winter Wonderland scene with Santa.
