March Is Over (3 for 3)

The Calendar Challenge over at The Kathryn Wheel continues, as does my participation in it.  As I’ve mentioned before, I do like keeping a journal calendar.  Even though there is no possible way I can journal every single day, the calendar gives me a quick opportunity to work in my art journal every day.   

For March I tried the type of calendar Kate (and many of the other participants) creates.  All those little squares were kind of a pain at first.  Getting the right size to fit the page was hard.  I created a gorgeous background, but most of it got covered up because my measuring seemed to be off.

    I love the squares, it gives the page such a clean look. Really nice with the fresh green background. I used a punch for Jan and Feb pages. It had been in my drawer for years!!

    Oooh, your March pages are wonderfully cheery! I know what you mean about the little squares, You get some great tips from visiting other blogs, I've seen how they draw in the journal blocks in the shape of flowers etc, or stamped them. I use a one and a half inch square punch - it helps :) x

    once we get the summertime things have some hope.
    But how the heck do you work in Sahara type temperatures that you've got in summer. We will have on our hottest day 27 Celsius. And we wilt under it.

    Gorgeous - the green background is fab :-) I have also learned along the way not to worry about the background too much because you're right - most of it does get covered up! Looking forward to seeing your April pages! Kate

    I used square post-it-notes for my dates this month - but miscalculated and only put 24 days on! OOps! I also hate covering up my interesting backgrounds so in February I put my dates on acetate so I could place them where I wanted. Each month it is a (fun!)challenge though. I love the bright colours you have used.
