February already...and a second look at my master board!

Hi everyone, we're one month into the new year already! It caught me unawares and I only completed my calendar journal this morning!
 I used my favourite Crafty Individuals background stamp and used a gifted fancy square punch to make my journal spots - inked around the edges as they sank into the background!
I used Aall and Create's Tracy Evans hearts set which I stamped and then coloured with water colour paints.

 Here is January's all filled in for those off you who like to look!

We were out most of yesterday and today for a variety of reasons so I am still on catch up with everything

This is for Elizabeth's new theme at Art Journal Journey - 'Hearts'


For my 2nd on the second post over at the Altered Boook Lover - Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog I found that I actually made the master board that I used in my previous post back in February 2012, the year we moved into our apartment!
               ________________________________
I've doodled and doodled and this is what it looks like now.
As I mentioned in my last post I have been taking part in Traci Bautista's online workshops. Okay, so I should still be sorting etc. but a girl needs to express herself and I have found this to be so relaxing!
Here are some shots of parts of the whole piece.



I decided to paint the back, which I did with Dylusions paints and Twinkling H2os
and some little shots

Now I suppose I really must get back to doing something really useful LOL!

Finally  sneaky peek at some new stamps by Crafty Individuals.
The Hochanda shows are on Tuesday at 11.00 and 2.00 GMT 

Thanks for looking, Chris

    Oh wow, Chris. I love those hearts you stamped. They are amazing and I also like how you colored them. They made great embellishments for your February calendar. You put SO much into your calendar pages. They are true works of art. Thank you for sharing them with us at Art Journal Journey using my theme.

    Isn't it ironic. If I didn't know this post was from 2012, it could have been a sequel to 2019 and your move back from the caravan. I'm amazed you've kept that masterboard this long. It's beautiful and so much fun to see all the stamps you used. Thanks, too, for sharing this as your second look on the 2nd. Deja vu if you ask me!

    Such a pretty February page - Tracy's hearts are just perfect there in the corner - and frosty January is lovely too. Happy to hear you're giving yourself some respite from sorting - and what better way to relax than with an inspiring crafty workshop. Your layered doodled masterboard looks amazing - so many details for the eye to enjoy - very happy you shared those close-ups.
