Just Some Art Journal Collage Fun...

Hello, my friends! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season,
and I wish each of you the very BEST for 2022!

I understand that many of you are wanting to move on from Christmas projects
but I had a fun little play between Christmas and New Years,
and wanted to share what I made.

Most of my goodies are still packed up,
so I'm continuing to work with what I have on hand.
I've had this little spiral journal kicking around.
It measures 6" x 8".
I grabbed a DCWV Christmas stack from my stash,
along with several seasonal stencils.

I began by preparing my pages; some with paper and some with stenciling.
In the front I made this title page:

 I cut out a page of words from Pink Monarch Prints:

The Perfect Words - Holly Jolly,

and combined them with some fun cut-outs from:

Meg's Garden Papercraft - Fun Joy at Christmas,

and Crafty Cat USA - Art Dolls Printables.

Then I just had a fun play of fussy cutting and gluing! 
It was so fun matching the images with the appropriate words.

This fun gnomie like Santa cracks me up!
He's so grumpy looking, and I can hear the sarcasm in his "ho ho ho"! lol

The art dolls are super fun!
The heads, bodies, and accessories are all separate,
and you can mix and match however you want.

The elves are so cheery and full of mischief! 

You can probably tell how much fun I had putting these pages together. 
This is only half of my pages but I'll be back tomorrow to share the rest of them.
I hope you'll come back to see them! :o)
