Don't Wait for the Storm to Pass - Unity Planner Journal

A page for April - this year is quite different then any me or my family has lived through.  Thankfully we are all healthy so far during this Covid 19 pandemic.

She was coloured with copics and then I masked her and ink blended two colours of Distress Ink for the background.  I added clear Nuvo Drops to the rain drops.

Mostly I Just Sit Around All Day.... Art Journal Page

I finally coloured up these Crazy Birds from Tim Holtz.  I used distress crayons and distress markers. The background is in my Dylusions small journal, it's actually a background I made a long time ago, but didn't like it and created another one for this journal page back in 2015.  So I added the white letters and circles through a stencil, some die cut circles with that I added penned circles to and some Tim Holtz washi tape.  The sentiment is from a Dylusions stamp set.

Notice the People Who Are Happy For You - Unity Planner Journal

I have wanted to colour up these little cuties forever!  And I especially love the sentiment!  The owls were coloured with copics and finished with some Stickles.  I created the border by masking off the centre and ink blended with my new Taylored Expressions blending brush set.  Then I added little white dots over the ink with a white gel pen.  It's always fun thinking of new ways to decorate my pages and still keep them flat and one layer.

The Chill of Winter - Unity Planner Journal

This was a fun simple page, just what I need sometimes when I feel the urge to craft - I coloured the trees with copics and added light blue to the background. Then I used some Nuvo Drops for the snow and to border the block words and called it done!

Believe In the Magic - 6 x 6 layout - and farewell to my boy

This is one of the last photos I have of my boy Sampson.  He has gone over the rainbow bridge now after a battle with cancer.  He would have been eight in February.  This one is going to hurt for a long long time.

I let the paper do the work in this case - it's designed by Unity Stamp Co., I only had to add the sentiment and a few enamel dots.  The die is from Simon Says Stamp and 'in the magic' is a Tim Holtz rub on.
