The End is Nigh.... of the year, that is!

Quick post as I'm on my way up town to the Christmas market :)

November finished...


Here's how December started out,

and the detail... a little bit of masking, technique a la Dyan

Gave the trees a snowy look with my sharpie pen

Decided the page looked a bit stark so added some colour with these house stamps from Teesha Moore
End result (so far anyway - might add to it as the month goes on)


So that's it for now except to remind you of the preview day at AFTH next Saturday (1oth December) I shall be doing a one hour taster workshop, along with Kate and of course Dyan... hope to see you there!

    What amazing pages. I can tell I need to decorate my journal better, so will work on that for next year. I love what you did for both Nov and Dec. Beautiful artwork.

    I really love your December spread - feels very wintry in contrast to our lovely summer here in NZ :) Have a wonderful December

    Love your December pages. Rows of little houses always take me back to my childhood! How lovely to be doing a workshop with Kate and Dyann, pity I live so far away! Have fun! Valerie
