I have fiddled and dallied around during the month working on various digital holiday cards, just generally having fun with making different ones, which won’t get sent anywhere.
I like this one b/c it displays some folk art by a Nova Scotia artist named Maud Lewis. I am drawn to her style. So I looked up her background/life and found that she was a “starving artist” as so many in their lifetimes were. Her story is particularly touching. She was born with disabilities and disfigurement, lived a life of privation in a tiny house with her husband in Marshalltown NS (birthplace of Thomas Edison’s father), and died in 1970. Her fame and fortune has come since then, although locals appreciated her and her work.
Merry Christmas to all the kind and creative folks on Scrapbook Campus. May 2023 bring you great life blessings and lots of fun projects.
