Creative Artiste #111~ December Anything Mixed Media Goes

 Hello Creatives 

December has arrived far too quickly bringing me to 

introduce the last Creative Artiste Challenge of 2024 

our theme is Always Anything Mixed Media Goes...

My DT project is a journal page with Christmas in mind 

with a layered background of torn paper, pastes, stencils, 

painted glue doodles and pine tree die cuts tickled with 

gesso and glittery snowy paste tips. 

Three Stamperia Paper Baubles all highly embellished hang, 

decorated with lace, pearls, wire, buttons and random stitchery..

Each traditional bauble displays an important word 

PEACE, LOVE and JOY

Sprinkled with a touch of winter glitter, 

like icing sugar on the cake it adds to the magic.. 

I hope you will share your magical mixed media creations 

please come join in Creative Artiste last challenge of 2024 

December #111 Anything Mixed Media Goes

Wishing everyone a magical Christmas 

and a Happy Healthy New Year.. 

Stay safe, cosy and creative

Hugs

Seize The Day...!!

 Best wishes to all creatives this January

The rains have stopped for now as Winter shows it's face &

 temperatures plummet, we've even had a sprinkling of snow 

giving beautiful bright blue skies alongside frosty mornings. 

My first share of 2024 is a journal spread of collage, remnants and 

poignant words. Those who visit my blog know I no longer have 

time to create as I once did 😢 Care duties take up almost all 

of my time both day and night and over the past year 

those duties have escalated. 

The calendar is key to my world, it authorizes me to function for those 

that can not, be their daily guide or reminder and at times it allows me 

to seize any gap in the day to do the things I love to do like create..

Creativity is a healer and makes me stronger..

makes me think and appreciate time I have for myself..

gives me strength whilst patiently waiting..

and makes me hopeful everyday.. 

Seize the day and make the best of every moment...

Take care & stay safe everyone

My final Design Team Project of the 2023 is a twofer as I 

share how two journal pages come together to create one.. 

This cosy Christmas scene decked with festive die cut swags 

frames the Wintery night sky seen through the window.

Turn the page/open the window...

Created from offcuts collaged with glitter paste and a watery wash of 

Prussian blue acrylic. The moonlight shines down from the glittering 

midnight Sky on a forest of tree's amongst a flurry of snow. 

The words Peace On Earth... almost look as if 

they were carved into the snowdrift.

AJJ ~ The meaning of.. Winter

 Hello creative friends, 

So Winter begins.. frosty days and nights .. 

As a child every Christmas Eve i'd be taken to see 

the Christmas lights in the City and choose one present. 

Always a book or a set of felt tip pens.. 

 I used this napkin last December and remembered how taken 

Elizabeth was thinking I had drawn it, so thought i'd use it again. 

Can you see where the napkin finishes and where I begin..?? 

painting in a little toy shop there was always one on the high street full 

of dolls houses, the biggest of teddy bears and toys of children's dreams

Mesmerized by the twinkling lights, BIG show stopper star on the tree 

and the sweet cinnamon smells from the bakery filling the night air..

Wrapped up in my Winter coat, woolen mittens, scarf and hat 

I always hoped for a sprinkling of snow but it never came.. 

Warm winter wishes 

Tracey xx

Winter ~ Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #108

Hello Creative Friends, 

WINTER is this fortnights theme over  

@ Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #108 

Here's what I got up to on a cold and frosty morning...

Gluing scrunched tissue onto a journal page, white gesso 

highlights the texture. Stamping Trees and Snowflakes 

into the open space adds to my Winter scene. 

Stamping the Paperbabe LEFT 3/4 View Dinky Face onto a 

separate page I gave her Micro Fringe Hair using the template and 

fashioned a Beanie Hat to keep her warm before cutting her out. 

Glued onto the mixed media background a glittery pom pom 

is added along with die cut words. As the snow glisten's 

it's as if she's "Walking in a Winter Wonderland"..

Why not treat yourself to some cosy creative time and 

come share your WINTER creations with us over HERE.. 

There's a chance to win a prize for one Lucky winner. 

Look forward to seeing your WINTER creations. 

Creative Hugs
