2012 Art Calendar

I had decided that after 2 years of taking part in this challenge, not to do it this year, but I couldn't resist.  I'd bought a 12" x 12" journal last summer so that I could do a layout all on one page, instead of across two pages as I've done previously.....so here's the start of year 3.


Only just taken photo, I always forget to take photos in daylight, maybe that should be one of my New Year's resolutions.

As usual, paints and sprays from the Dylusion range, Stampotique images and Hero Arts alphabets.

Many thanks to the talented Mrs C who organises this event, which must take up a lot of time, please take a look at her blog, full of inspiration.

I'd like to wish everyone a peaceful and happy new year and to take this opportunity to thank all the lovely people who have taken the time to leave me such wonderful and encouraging comments throughout last year....thank you, it really does mean a lot.

PS Am keeping to my one and only resolution, have stuck to the diet all day, only 365 (it's a leap year) to go.

  2. Great page and idea to do the journal on one page. I am using a spiral bound sketch book and I know it is going to annoy me, already. So next year......
