During 2010 Kate at the Kathryn Wheel ran a challenge over the 12 months to create a double journal page for each month with an entry for each day. I enjoyed looking at the various blogs when I got a minute and decided that if the challenge was happening again this year I would give it a go and join in. Here is my first double page spread in a new A5 journal. I will endeavour to fill each square with a little snippet of my days.
I think I will post at the begining of each month just in case my words turn out to be a little private. I painted my pages with gesso and then used a selection of blue distress inks, for both the background and stampwork. The squares are a mixture of white card and patterned paper which have been sprayed with Sticky Fingers ink.

Ahh, a really gorgeous page :-) Love the cool January blues, and also the scroll around the edge. Thanks for joining the challenge, good luck for the rest of the year :-)

Great page! Love the scrolls & hearts - adorable! I'm a newbie too this year....I think we're gonna have great fun! :-)
Good luck, I struggled to do a single month, but I doubt if you'll have that problem.
gorgeous. good luck with it, it will be a brilliant thing to look back at
Hi Suzanne, your January page is gorgeous - love the addition of those hearts :) Looking forward to seeing more of your art over the coming year.
Terrific page and so sensible to do it A5, my big mistake was to do it A4.........yep, learn't the hard way.....lol Annette x
Your January page turned out fantastic! I like the soft colors and I like the random dotted lines here and there... nice work!
I just finished my Jan tonight but I have to wait until tomorrow for the sun to come out to take a decent picture, such an exciting challenge for the year! Good luck with yours, I'm sure I'll see you again over the next 12 months!
What a lovely page-love the softness of the colours and your trademark swirls around the edges.Have fun filling in the squares!!
Beautiful pages Suzanne.
Hope you find the time to fill them....Mgt.x
gorgeous design and great idea to showcase your art at the beginning of each month. Happy New Year! Helene
Looks like you are off to a good start, thanks for your comments on my page. I have sn A4 spiral bound Pink Pig sketch book, I love their board covers and robust paper which can take a real beating! Best of luc with the calendar. You can alwaus censor your filled in pages with a bit of tissue or blur them using a phot graph editing program. 'Picasa' is a free down load program from Google which I use to create a collage from the two scanned pages I do every month.
Best of luck with you journaling - you're in for fun!
I try to put a translation on my block for you for a 30 min. and still i don,t know how. When i make it English they give my an other name. I am dislextish, dutch is difficult enough for my. I don,t know how to do it, sorry Janita
