Merry Christmas

Today is Christmas the world over, and Santa is working overtime to send good cheer.  I'm also working to share a page from my Challenges Too altered book using Yvonne, aka Meggymay's theme Words and Numbers.  She of course is this month's host at Art Journal Journey.

Santa hopes you've been nice,

or all those gifts he's carrying in his sleigh

and on foot through the snow, will be wasted and undelivered.

He sees you when you're sleeping.

He wants to wish you and everyone a very Merry Christmas.  As an aside, once I photographed this, Santa looks a bit like a lecherous old man to me.

Santa took time to play a dice game.

It just goes to show I have to stamp something three times before it is legible.

For this page in my altered book, I started by laying down two Yahtzee score sheets.  On one I added the name Santa in green metallic gel pen.   I tore a piece of Christmas holly scrapbook paper and layered it over the score sheet.  For the next layer, I added the computer generated words I printed on red copier/printer paper.  For the final layer, I added the three images of Santa I've had for years in my stash.  Finally, I added the date stamp, a gift from Valerie, which took three times to be completely legible.

Thank you beyond belief for joining me today.  I know many of you are joining family and sharing good times and a lavish meal.  I am always grateful for your friendship and wish you a joyous, safe, healthy, and gift filled Christmas.  I hope to also see you at Art Journal Journey.
