Art Journal Calendar Challenge - May

Here's my finished April pages.  Blimey it was a vibrant month colour wise with this page, almost needed my sunglasses when I was filling in my info.  I'm going to try to draw/doodle a bit more going forward as my pages are looking a touch boring with just the writing and a lot of them have the same old, same old another day at work type of thing.  Maybe I need a more interesting life lol.

It did make my friend Dee laugh though when she read out my entry for one of the Friday's where after a long week at work I wrote "Oh Friday how Ive missed you!"


Remarkably I'm on time this month with my May pages,   When I was away at Lochhouse in April with my friends for our weekend retreat I made sure to have time to do my May pages.  I really like the way they turned out but unfortunately once I put on the date squares most of the detail was covered over which is a pity. I do think they need a bit more tweaking or doodling in the visible areas but maybe I will just add wee bits in here and there  as Im filling out the squares each day.

I seem to be going all pink at the moment which isn't like me at all! I drew the houses following watching how Kate did it on her dvd.  I love them and can see them making an appearance on quite a few of my art journally bits.  I used text paper taken from a vintage charity shop find.  I figure it's ok to rip up books once they have been well read and if the proceeds are going to help a worthwhile cause then so much the better!

I am really enjoying joining in with Kate's challenge so far, hop over to her blog The Kathryn Wheel to see what its all about and join in - you will soon be hooked!
I used stripey thickers for the title this month instead of stamping the month for a wee change as I thought they went with my page.
This is a great challenge to be part of and Im really enjoying joining in with it.
