May Is Over Already?

Where is this year going?  I can’t believe it’s June!  I also can’t believe that I’ve kept up with The Kathryn Wheel’s Calendar Challenge.  This time, I didn’t worry about the background too much.  To start, I painted an acrylic wash over the journal page.  Then I used a giant foam flower stamp, painted with various acrylic colors to add texture to the background.  Another loose piece of paper was washed with acrylic and punched out into circles.  They were nice and BIG, as I was having trouble writing on my itsy bitsy squares.

I also found some time to work on additional pages.  I love to stow away in the art room for hours and create.

  8. @M - ha! "playing jeopardy" made me laugh. I did this one on the anniversary of my dad's death. It's my very small family...not playing jeopardy. :)

    @Becky - oh, I just love butterflies. Sure! Come over anytime. :)
