Art Journaling and the winter blahs

I'm one of those people that about this time of year, the 'winter blahs' set in.  Are you that way too?

Anyway, I try to find do things, activities, mostly crafty stuff that helps me fight the

blahs as best as I can.  I've found a new one this year, was not really familiar with it

until I starting do a bit of research.  It's called Art Journaling....mixed media...and your

imagination are the main 'ingredients'.

 

I used mainly YouTube as my research vehicle.  I watched several videos from

different artists until I found one or two styles that appealed to me.  I collected the materials

that I needed and weren't already in my possession.

 

So, here's my first attempt.

 

 

I'm excited that this gives me another use for the

Cricut machine.  Not that I will use it every time. But it

does increase my options and ideas.
