Red and Green Bookmarks

I made these in November for Christmas presents and gave them out, after they were laminated.

Journal52: Week 2: Just Be

The prompt for this week is Just Be.  I borrowed a field of flowers photo off the internet for the background for this, then played with the image and words on PicMonkey.  Turned out OK. 

Journal52: Week 1: Pathways

So Journal52 is a series of Art Journaling prompts, there's a group for it on Facebook and Flickr.  I did a few of last year's prompts.  This year, I'll just do digital "art" for the prompts.  I don't know if I'll keep up with it.  We'll see!

Creshen Challenge #12: Coffee

Here's my response to Challenge#12. 

DIY Planner: 4th Week of December 2014

 There is no theme for this week, although I did use a lot of green and contrasting colors.

Thursday's is red Christmas lettering (which doesn't show in this picture) on a green background.  It looks like a Christmas cloud that's raining glitter, which is somehow apt for the holiday.

Monday's hot air balloon interior, Tuesday's mosque and Friday's tree frog are all drawn from a National Geographic book called "Color," a book of photographs.  The other days are pretty random.

While before I was doing these in the morning, because it's a working planner, I started doing them at night after I checked off a few tasks.  It's fun just doing one square a day.  I will be using the National Geographic book in the future for things to draw.

Thanks for looking!

DIY Planner: 3rd Week of December 2014

This time I added some glitter with matte medium.  I'd like some gloss medium.  I'm not using Mod-podge because the pages will stick together (or so I've heard).

There is a theme to this particular week, Winter Solstice and Yule. I did all these on the day it says.

My favorite was the Yule Log, it felt like my to-do list was on fire!
