Boxed in!

I'm once again joining Erika, aka Bio Art Gal, our host this month at Art Journal Journey with her themes polka dots, stripes, plaids, and patterns.

I call this Boxed in

because of the various boxes and how they are stacked.

In order to carry out the polka dot theme, I stamped some circles by using the eraser of a pencil.

I also used the lid of a felt pen to create the circles with the tiny dot in the center.

Then of course, there were the boxes on which the little TH paper doll was sitting.

For this page, I started in my new altered book I'm now calling "Stress Free Challenges," because there is the word stress in the book title.  To cover the chart on the page, I spritzed my handmade shimmering mists and cut a piece of 110 lb card stock to fit the page.  I stamped a couple of stamps on the page, then applied the stickers.  This was a slow and tedious task trying to get them to align correctly, and I was off in several places, but I thought the boxes stacked well overall.  Once the boxes were adhered and sufficiently held in place, I added the paper doll.

Thank you beyond belief for joining Bleubeard and me today.  I hope you will join us at Art Journal Journey, too.
