Winter song.....

I have made another journal page - great to have had some time - most of our gifts have been bought now( couple of vouchers required still) and some have even been wrapped!
For the last few years I seem to have been rushing around last minute and wrapping up on the day we were due to swap gifts - having said to hubby last year that I didn't like the last minute rush he has made it his business to help me along this year and, although it has been hectic, I am looking forward to a quieter run up to Christmas itself!!
My page reflects my calmer feelings right now...and I have used some  Christmas cards received in the past - I can see potential in a few more too!

I tore parts of two cards (the trees with the swans and the glittery branches). The swans on the icy lake (which is some stamped under paper)) were from a lovely wild bird card and the icy edge was a cut flower from a birthday card. I added tissue paper music and the words computer generated. I had though of calling it Swan Song but these pairs of swans are not about to die but to remain together over the Winter and go on to raise some cygnets in the Spring! 

This page is of course for Elizabeth's 'My Favourite Season or'Tis the Season' theme at Art Journal Journey!
and also
More Mixed Media Challenge Anything Goes with optional white

I was going to make today's post about my Christmas cards but I'll give it a little longer for them to reach their destinations!

Thanks for looking, Chris
