May I say its May Already!

So its time to share April's Calender Challenge with you all. If you dont know what on earth I am on about, hope to to The Kathryn Wheel and all will become clear. I went a bit brighter and lighter this month since spring is on it's way, gessoed the page and then lightly over-stamped it with a script stamp, which is very subtle. The blocks for each daily entry were made by inking through a homemade 'stencil' - well stencil is abit posh - I made a rough hole in a bit of card and used distress inks to ink through it, twisting and turning it randomly to add a bit of interest. You will have noticed another of my new Octopode Factory stamps - the dastardly woman had brought out some more, I can hear my visa card groaning as we speak.

 and so it is May already, and May's page is already ready to go. Its a bit different this month. I created the background with Inktense pencils and then dribbled some ink, turning the page 90' from time to time. This was just meant to add a bit of a pattern to the page, but as these 'squares' appeared, I have decided that they will be what I journal in each day. Heaven knows what it will look like at the end of the month - a confused mess maybe, we will see - pop back on the 1st June to take a look. Meanwhile pop over to The Kathryn wheel to see some more fab pages - and have a nosey to see what people have been up to in April!

I suspect May may mention a certain exciting event that is happening in May for us as a family - we are having yet another addition to the family.... meet Marzie ...
