Christmas Art Journal Day 6

Christmasartjournal_day6


Playing around with ideas from yesterday and today and how much I love the twinkle of holiday lights. It is one of my very favorite things.


The journaling (printed on a transparency) says:


this is what I love.
this is what I remember.
this is what I think of.


for me, every christmas must
be filled with the twinkle of
white lights. lights that fill
my home. always in awe of the
glow.


lights of yesterday that lit my way when I would sneak out to our living room as a child.


lights of today that illuminate the darkness when I wake up in the night to check on my sleeping boy.


The painted chipboard squares are from Technique Tuesday. Paper from 7gypsies and Paper Source. Words on the bottom are cut out from this month's issue of Body & Soul (they have the best stuff in that magazine). Tab from Scrapworks. Stamp and paint from Making Memories. Rub on from Basic Grey. Jewels from Heidi Swapp.


And, you will laugh. I just noticed that I totally forgot to put the tree with the date on this page. Will add that on now.

    Awesome page, once again. Yes, white lights, mmmmm, that's the holidays for sure! I just love keeping the Christmas tree lights on in the room and nothing else at night - the glow and the twinkle are so wonderful. And the words from Body & Soul - I just love that mag, especially right now with reminders of taking care of yourself.
    Thanks again for sharing.

    Ali, how did you do the TWINKLE? Is it also on the transparency? Or did you stamp and I'm missing it? The masses who are not missing a page of this want to know!
    Seriously, this is truly lovely and I look forward to every day.
    P.S.- you want snow? Can I fedex you any from Buffalo??!

Love the line about getting up to check on your sleeping boy. It brought tears to my eyes. Keep up the beautiful work.

    While I was just feasting on this veritable palette of "twinkle" and wonderful colors, etc.... I couldn't help but laugh 'cuz I actually noticed the missing tree and then read your comment about forgetting it! :) LOVE this LO, even without the tree! Although now I'm curious where you will put the tree! LOL
