August Art Journal Calendar & 5 Minute Journaling

Happy August Everyone!

Here's my new art journal calendar pages for the month ahead. I decided to go abstract, with PaperArtsy Fresco acrylic, mark-making tools, and I used a PaperArtsy stencil to create the little journaling blocks. The title was hand-written.


And, here is my 5 minute art journal page for SouthernGal's challenge. I did get some paint on my palette and found some mark-making tools, before I started the timer, and today I had seconds to spare, so I managed to add a dotty border and splatters with a paint pen.


I spotted this quote and thought it quite appropriate.


I'll be back tomorrow with another quick page.

Have a great evening,

Alison xox

  3. I'm panicking at the idea of it being August - so behind with the world of crafting - but there's light at the end of the tunnel at the end of August, and I hope to get back in the swing of things properly then. Love the bright, funky colours here - and yes, great words too.

  10. Your calendar pages always put mine to shame. I love the blocks you created and the colors are stunning, too. This month's art was most impressive.

    Your five minute page is incredible. I love that circular stencil you used. It is clever, but so are the other elements. I especially like those three colors you chose for your piece. They are different and unusual, but work SO well together.

  11. Where did July go ...lol 😉. Your abstract calender pages are lovely and your dotty handwritten title is fabulous. Amazing page too, I can't believe you created it in 5 minutes, and as always I love your colour choices and splatters 😀. That quote fits the page perfectly, it seems impossible to me ...lol 😉. I hope you are having a lovely week! J 😊 x
