Update!

Mmm, this looks a bit pale here compared to real life... it is the March page in my art calendar journal. Go here to find out more. I have gone for lighter colours but the creaminess of them is definitely missing here... need more photography 'know how' me thinks!

I thought I'd go lighter because spring is in the air and also because I wanted a change from the deeper colours I'd used for February (below). I love being able to make choices to suit my whims!

I've also been messing around preparing pages in my A5 art journal, I've done so much running around to hospitals lately and have had to sit twiddling my thumbs in waiting rooms frustrated at not having control of MY own time, thinking about all the things I need to be doing... So I thought if I took along my journal to work in, I might feel less frustrated and definitely calmer!
(if Dyan can do it why can't I!)





So I shall add some background stamping and an image, then I'll be good to go....just take my pens with me and doodle away to my hearts content!

  9. Hi Sandra! Tried leaving a comment earlier but it doesn't seem to have worked!?! Anyway...love how the Feb page turned out and the March page looks very pretty, love the fresh colours - bring on the Spring!! I've only got as far as cutting the tags for each day...hoping to get a bit done tonight though. Enjoy your journalling on the go - better than reading ancient magazines in a hospital corridor!! xx
