I decided to try my hand at one. I used an old Met Life calendar. I am a huge Snoopy fan and this calendar has a picture of Snoopy on every other page. My plan is to leave Snoopy on the pages.
This journal will be mainly a quote journal. I see so many wonderful quotes on Facebook and I'm going to start printing the ones I really like.
This is the cover of my Calendar Journal. I very seldom do the cover first because I'm messy. You will notice, I've already gotten gesso on the cover. Oh well, it will add to the charm. I don't know where I found the two little girls. Their words are perfect for my journal. The Creative People on I found on Donna Downey's FB page.
Below: I had to begin with an original quote by me. It needed a music background and Amazing Grace is one of my favorite hymns. I thought it fitting. Any talent I have is a gift from God. The quote and picture on the right came from Raising Ecstasy FB page. You'll see Snoopy flying a plane in the corner. Snoopy is the king of believing he's amazing and can do anything he sets his mind to do.

I like the idea of a little book for quotes, and have a little child's autograph book I bought to use for art, so thank you for the idea. I always love your artwork, and these pages are lovely as always.
ReplyDeleteDo you know, I was just thinking the other day about using an old day diary for just this kind of thing. I started copying down quotes I like onto a Word document, but of course, it's not portable. I love what you've done here and those little girls are hilarious! The 'Creative People' list is fab too. Can I use your home grown quote Boo? :0) Mo
ReplyDeleteI just love your pages!
