Hi everyone. Happy Thursday to you. February is wrapping up quickly so today I want to share my last page for Bleubeard and Elizabeth's February challenge at Art Journal Journey. Her challenge, as you probably know (if you stop by AJJ) is Anything, Anywhere, Anytime with Anyone.
Thank you Elizabeth for hosting this month. You did a fabulous job, and I think so far you've published a page a day. I'm impressed. I hope you'll participate more in AJJ as the year goes on.
Thank you everyone who have joined in also. There's still a couple of days to go before the month ends so if you're thinking about joining in, now is the time. 😉
My page today is full of lots of anythings.
I'm not sure what I think of this page, mainly because it's so muted color wise, but I like the arrangement of my bits and pieces. It all started with this tag that I found in my stash. I added the outline and stamped the hearts, and I wanted something other than red so I used dark blue ink. I also stamped the big pink heart. I stamped it on some painted paper, and then I fussy cut it. (It's from a very old Stampington cube rubber stamp.) From there I added some things off my work table that include a large piece of door screen, a scrap of paper, a small crochet style flower and some fake postage stamps.
My page still needed something to hold it all together, so I die cut the daisy chains, colored them in and then added them. They did the trick and made the other pieces feel like they weren't going to float off the page.
I guess you'd say this is a true junk journal style page.
And not bore or depress anyone with more snow photos, but this first photo is from my yard. I was trying to figure out where to dump the newest batch of snow when I shoveled. In this photo you can see my shoveled pile from previous storms is already at deck height.
This last photo makes me realize my shoveling issues were nothing. I trimmed down the person in this photo, but a friend sent me this. This is what her sister saw when she opened the garage door. This scene is in Providence, Rhode Island where they got an official 41 inches/ 104 cm of snow on Monday. Yes,this is just one snowfall.
Yup, it's time for some warm weather and spring. 😉

Thankfully, we do not have any worries about snow shoveling and where to put the snow, Erika, but understand the dilemma of homeowners. Glad that NH escaped the big dump that RI received as shown by photos from our family living there.
That be some snow for sure. I know many are sick of winter (besides me who is enjoying it), but I get that many really wanna see flowers and more sun. What I'm excited about this spring is putting the outside table back on the deck and reading. Ahhhh, simple joy.
I like the picture on my screen it doesn't look muted. Looks peaceful and pretty. Love the little green around the edge there too.
Cheers, Ivy
...Erika, it's snowing here this morning, but warmer temps are in the extended forecast. Be warm and well.
Gosh...so much snow. Here starts to feel like spring already...it's even sunny now :-))
First off I think the colors are fascinating. Placement of everything, including color is brilliant art. You managed to pull the eye into the center and then out to the sides. Exactly how composition is supposed to do. Ohhh I could not do that snow.
P.S. Love your new banner.
Lovely page.
I am so sick of the snow. lol I just want spring. I Love your page collage! I love the piece of material you added to it. I think it's very lovely. Have a lovely evening Erika!
I like all the different bits and bobs you used and somehow they all go together. That's a good size snow pile you have. A foot of snow was enough to deal with. I'm so glad the storm didn't creep a little closer my way or we would have been in that 3 foot+ circle. Sunshine and warm temps should shrink the snow piles this weekend.
Just a fine layering and beautiful ajj page Erika 🥰
We have here as much snow as you have 🌨☁️
Happy weekend anyway to you and yours 🎉
After updating Firefox, it appears my Failed to Publish nightmares are over. I wanted to especially thank you and Tom for standing by me through this trying time.
I love your latest page from the screen to the die cut daisies. Thanks for sharing it with us at AJJ and my theme.
That is a LOT of snow. How are the bees?
That's some snow Erika, don't believe I've e4ver seen. that much apart from skiing holiday (will add I just watched the offspring doing it whilst I partook in refreshments!).
The Daisies really do pull your page together, there's an art to layering and I think this looks great.

It's a great page Erika, lots of interest and texture.
You have had a lot of snow and the photo from your friend - Wow 41 inches!
Love to look at it, but it's not good for day to day living.
Have a great weekend. Avril
Lots of snow here, too, but not quite that much! Thank goodness. All the best - David
Happy Friday
Thank you for linking to AFFF
MUCH LOVE
I am glad we don't have snow. I remember snowfall that deep one of the two years I lived in Ohio - can you say Blizzard?
Boy, you really got nailed. Maybe not quite like RI, but pretty close. So far, so good here -- snow-wise, mild. (So far) Today should be 50. I hope it comes your way.
Lovely collage art work ~ Snow we have similar inches ~ enough already ~ hugs,

I'm happy you shared this one with FFO. Have a very nice weekend.
Fun page! Of course my eye was drawn at once to the crocheted flower. Bill once told me I can smell yarn and ferret it out, even when it's hidden LOL
That is a lot of snow you have and in Rhode Island as well. While we still had snow on the top of the hills and mountains last week, the last two days have been warm and very much like spring. I hope we will still get some more rain before the dry season. Have a lovely weekend!
