Frosty . . . for Art Journal Journey Monthly!

Hi everyone!  I am LOVING guest hosting at Art Journal Journey Monthly for the month of December!

Have you heard of Art Journal Journey Monthly? 

It’s a super fun art journal challenge blog where you can join in on a different theme every month! The themes are picked by guest hosts or their awesome blog administrators. There are so many talented and friendly art journalers, altered book artists, rubber stamp addicts, and mixed media artists from all over the world who participate. You can join in on the fun by linking your project to their site using the Link tool they provide.

So, for December, I decided to go with a WINTER theme! My latest project started with a love of snow globes. I’ve always been fascinated by them since I was a little girl, especially after watching the movie Heidi with Shirley Temple!

I recently came across a photo of my best friend, Barb’s snow globe. 

I decided to make it the focal point of my project. First, I converted it to black and white:  

Then went from there . . .

All of my page elements and background paper are from the PinkFresh “Christmas Wishes” collection, which came out about 10 years ago. I love this holiday scrapbook paper with its trendy colors and whimsical designs. And guess what? I never throw away any craft supplies - LOL! (I may need to change that a bit in the new year.) Anyway, I put together a little scene, added some threads and machine stitching, and sprinkled in some sequins for a touch of sparkle.  It was easy to make.

Here is the finished page:

What do you think?

I’m thrilled that Art Journal Journey Monthly invited me to host again this year! 

Now I'd like YOU join in on the fun!  Just head over to their site at the highlighted link and take a look. 

I really appreciate you taking the time out of this busy holiday season to visit my blog. 

Have a very happy rest of your December and Holiday Season!
