I can't believe it's almost the middle of August!!! Where did all this time go???? I have just finished the July page of my calendar... At this rate I will never be able to catch up with the rest of the months before the end of this year.... or century for that matter! lol ;)
I thought it was time for radical measures so I decided to make a calendar where I will be keeping track of all those important dates and make my cards ahead of time (wishful thinking, me thinks!) ;-D.
But before my lovely pages get filled in, I will first need to do some researching who, what & when! D'you know what I mean?!
The page was inspired by the fantastic art journalling DVD by Kate. The background was created with acrylic paints and the day tiles were stamped and coloured with distress inks. Love the colours! Are they bright, cheerful and summery or what??? lol ;p.
The stamps I used are Doodle bloom by Tia Bennett and I did A LOT of lovely doodling myself, too! Hmmmm! ;)
The flowers were painted with my new fascination - cosmic shimmer watercolour paints. I just fell in love with them!!! Not sure if the picture fully reflects the lovely glimmering effect, very subtle yet quite defined! Love this stuff!!!!
Well, that's all from me for now. I hope you are all well, my Friends. In case you're not - hey, it's (almost) weekend (depending on your time zone lol)!!!
