Scary

 

I want to begin by thanking my friend Erika, who many of you know as BioArtGal, for hosting the month of August.  She was a gracious host who visited everyone.  She also created wonderful art that exemplified her theme.  Thank you dear friend.

Today we introduce a new host, like we do at the beginning of every month.  Please give a big Art Journal Journey welcome to Sharon from That Girl Fritchey.  Sharon brings a different perspective to AJJ.  Sharon is a scrapbooker who combines that with art journaling.  This is Sharon's third year hosting.  Sharon's theme for September is Hello Autumn.

When I think of autumn I think of Halloween.  I think bats, spiders, and witches flying around on broomsticks.  I hope you enjoy this first interpretation of the theme.

It's obvious I named this Scary.  Detail images are below.
 








 
I created this entry with the help of three napkins.  I began by adhering the first napkin from my stash to 5 X 8 in (12.7 X 20.32 cm) 110 lb beige cardstock using a glue stick.  I then added bits and pieces of the two other napkins.  I was a bit surprised by the color change when I adhered or overlaid the other napkins.
 
Please remember we welcome art journal pages that meet the theme requirements, altered book pages, canvases, loose, or stand alone pages including fabric and digital art.  I (and the administrators) do not leave comments on Facebook, TicTok, or Instagram entries.  We do not allow cards!!!  Period! We also don't allow tags, index cards, ATCs, or ATCoins, unless they are part of a journal page, and as much as we don't want to, will be forced to delete your entry.  Please remember if your blog is not in English, we ask that you translate it for us since the translation tool doesn't work on some blogs.  Finally, we do not allow back-links to any journal page published prior to the start date of this month's challenge. Hope to see you and your interpretation of Hello Autumn inspired art soon at Art Journal Journey.

Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for the warm welcome! When I think of Autumn, Halloween always comes to mind, too. I absolutely adore the napkin Halloween-themed page you created! The overlapping napkins create such an awesome effect—it’s so spooky and very cool. Thank you for joining me this month! Hugs, Sharon

I love a good Halloween page and this one is quite fun! I love the depth of the scary houses and that orange glow. Definitely a fun but spooky way to start September. Happy new month to you Elizabeth. hugs-Erika
