It’s a new month which means we have a new challenge at Country View Challenges for December which is Christmas Anything Goes.
This challenge is perfect as I love all things Christmas and as I love all things Tim Holtz too, this page features lots of his products. Wishing you a Happy December and all the very best for the festive season!

I started by covering the page with white gesso using a brayer and then I stenciled some snowflakes using a Mini Layered Christmas Stencil Set #50 by Tim Holtz and Ranger Crackle Texture Paste. When dry I added the festive foliage which was die cut from different colours of Kraft Cardstock-Classic by Tim Holtz using a Funky Festive Sizzix Thinlits set by Tim Holtz; they were layered together using matte gel medium. To finish, I added the wording which was die cut from the black Kraft Cardstock-Classic using an Alphanumeric Script Thinlits set by Tim Holtz.
For more inspiration please see the amazing creations from my fellow Design Team members over at Country View Challenges.
I hope you are inspired to join our Christmas Anything Goes challenge too, if you do, you’ll have a chance to win a £20 voucher to use on the Country View Crafts (grin!).

I’ve already been decorating for Christmas and here’s one of my Christmas wreaths; this ones on my back door and was hung with a pretty metal robin decoration (smile!).
Hoping that you are all staying safe and well – Happy December! x
Thanks for joining me today! If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you.

This is another beautiful page Jo. I like the shape of poinsettias. They work out great on a page, don’t they? And your wreath on your door is adorable. Your door has an interesting texture and color also. Maybe sometime you’ll share the whole door. Once again, happy December. Hugs-Erika

What a cheerful journal page, Jo. At first, I thought the poinsettias were made of felt. I had to look more closely to see they were paper. Nicely done with the snowflakes, too. Thanks for another great entry using your theme at Art Journal Journey.
