Page 5 – Volume of the Dolls “Love This Life”

Today it’s heavy rain and strong winds outside my window, so I really don’t want to venture outside for any reason at all. I’d much rather stay inside where it’s warm and cozy and create an art journal page in my Volume of the Dolls with some happy and bright colours, with some Tim Holtz paper dolls and a little grunge and distress thrown in for good measure!

The two stencils I’ve used in this double page spread are my two new designs for January. Links can be found below!

Page 4 – Volume of the Dolls – “Family”

For today’s page I wanted to create another double page spread in my new altered book the Volume of the Dolls which, if you haven’t seen it already, is where I’m trying to use up some of the small mountain of die cut paper dolls from Tim Holtz Idea-ology range. Over the past few years I’ve amassed a fair few of these little gems and this new/old altered book seemed a good place to create a themed piece of interactive artwork!

It’s Christmas Eve and while everyone is having a snooze after a heavy festive lunch, I’ve sneaked upstairs to my craft room to have a little play in my Volume of the Dolls altered book.

A continuation of my “Volume of the Dolls” altered book, where I’m using up my left over paper dolls and playing with different styles of background. This page also incorporates December’s Mid Month Mini Mission: Inspiration.
