More ornaments and a journal page (finally)

I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving. Our snow is gone (sigh...). Here are some more of the ornaments I've made:
For the words I stamped on some selvege I saved from my multitude of fabric!
A funny jester! I got this pattern from a vintage craft magazine and it is my first attempt at needle sculpting- it was fun!
This one is an upcycled ornament- the heart is from a wool skirt, the backing is scraps of batting, the words are on a selvege and the stitching thread around the outside is leftover from a mystery envelope swap! I like to use leftover scraps etc in my ornaments. Now for my journal page:
Not my best, but I did work on it and that's what counts...right?
Have a great weekend! We're hoping to put up our Christmas tree and decor- what are your plans?

ICAW #7 and journal page

Here is my newesr ICAW. I scraped acrylic paint on background and layed punchenella on top and started sponging different colors through it. When I took off the stencil I thought it kind of looked like flowers so I stamped the word bloom. Very fun :)
Isn't this a funny picture? I got the image from a Smithsonian magazine. Okay this one has lots of layers, even though you can't really see them all. First on the plain white page I stamped a bunch of random stamps I was trying out. Then I scraped paint on top of that. Then I too a lg paper doily and sponged white acrylic paint though it- a little tricky since the paper is so thin and stcks to the sponge.
Then I tried the picture on it , but it didn't show up enough, so I tore a page from an old dictionary with the word pelican on it and glued that down. Then glued the pelican- I really like this page!
Although when I looked at it from afar, it kind of looks like snow... Maybe next time I'll do a winter picture :)
I hope you have a happy Monday!
