I created a Sunrise theme art journal page for the Month of Jun page for the weekly planner/journal that I'm using for my Book of Days. This piece is based on my Sun postcard. I replaced the color ink cartridge in my printer, so this image printed correctly.

This is also my entry for this month's Art Journal Journey challenge "The Color Yellow."

Oh yeah: and it's snowing here today (Feb 12, 2019). That's why my thoughts are focused on yellow warmth.

I created an ocean / geometric shapes theme art journal page for the Month of Jan page for the weekly planner/journal that I'm using for my Book of Days.

This is also my entry for this month's Art Journal Journey theme of Geometric Shapes. I'm a little late to the party, but I was inspired after seeing many of the T Stands For ... ladies also posting to the AJJ challenge. My letter L printed much darker than I intended. Other than that, I'm happy with my end result.

The Book of Days 2019

I'm doing my Book of Days theme again for 2019.

My only rules for myself are Keep It Simple (KIS) and Have Fun.

The challenge involves using a weekly planner. I purchased a May Designs Blue Sky 5" x 8" Weekly & Monthly Planner January to December 2019.

I re-used the 2" x 1.5" tabs template that I created with GIMP, and made divider tabs that I then printed on card stock paper, cut out, and Elmer's glue sticked into the planner.

The weekly challenge themes are listed below, and I will add links to my entries as I create them. My weeks start on Monday. This blog entry will serve as my master index to them.

(Note: I originally started my weeks on Sunday, but because the weekly planners I have purchased have always started on Monday, I'm correcting this as of Sunday Jan 27, 2019. The original challenge I had started this annual theme with had started on Sundays.)
