A Mini-Album . . . for Art Journal Journey Monthly!

 Hi everyone! It has been a pleasure hosting Art Journal Journey Monthly for the month of December!  I cannot believe that it is December 29th already.  We are getting ready to ring in 2025 here.


I guess you all know by now that my theme for December  was Snow:


And just in case you don't know, here is a little bit about Art Journal Journey Monthly:

"Each month there is a new challenge theme for you to take part in. Our participants are art-journalers, altered book artists, rubber stamp addicts, and mixed media artists from all over the world. You are invited to take part by linking via the Link tool on their site.  

Artwork created in an art journal, altered book, on canvas, or loose pages as well as digital and fabric art of any size are now acceptable."


I'd like to present my last project made for my December "SNOW" challenge.  I made an album and gave it as a Secret Santa gift this year!

My album cover was made using Doodlebug Design's heavyweight snowflake acetate. The grommets and white yarn are from my stash.  Everything else was made using Alexandra Renke products, including the ring binder mechanism.  I have never made an album like this before and enjoyed the process!
I was inspired by an album that I saw on IG made by Nuria @nuriasolete.  You can find her here:  https://www.instagram.com/nuriasolete/


It has been an honor and my pleasure to host at Art Journal Journey for the month of December.  

I
 hope you get a chance to check out their blog and challenges.  I
I want to thank everyone at Art Journal Journey for asking me to host and for supporting me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

And thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.  Happy New Year everyone!
