First lesson learned from the new journal?
Make sure the altered journal isn't bigger than my scanner :)
Here are my calendar pages:
The calendar pages are on the back of the front cover and the very first page. I ripped up a few pages from an old dictionary and mod podged them in. I went over that with some green soft pastels with a touch of blue. Over that I made a bunch of swirls with different colored gel pens (gelly roll, soufle, glaze). I also used some LePlume markers and a few sharpies. All in shades of blue and green with a touch of white. I went over it all with mod podge and layed out my inchies for the title and days of the month. I used Martha Stewarts Opaqu marker set for the month and year. I traced the letters and numbers with a silver sharpie.
And I decided to do weekly pages as well.
The weeks are not to fancy. I just used some found lined papers- each week has the same patterns of paper, but I have arranged them different for each week. I plan to doodle to fill in all the blank space.
That is all I have so far but I look forward to filling up this months altered journal!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the paper people! You are so cool, I need you to come back here and show me how to do super cool stuff step by step. ok?!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds good :) With all the craziness that happened last year for us, I have been sticking close to home, but I will work on putting a tutorial up of how I do the paper people. No guarantees, but I would like to have it up here by the end of the month.
