May The Fourth Be With You!

Hello friends! I can never resist saying that on this day every year! Hahaha!

Today I have my May art journal calendar spread to share with you. 


I used a hand-cut paper stencil with Fresco acrylic paint for the journaling clouds, a PaperArtsy stencil for the title, and a Crafter's Workshop stencil for the butterflies. I finished with gold paint pen splatters. 



And I also have my last two pages for Birgit Koopsen's Everything Circles Instagram Challenge to show you...

Day 29 - Collage of book paper, map, underpaper and teabags.


Day 30 - A splishy splashy page with a collaged flower.


Happy Bank Holiday Weekend to my friends here in the UK, and happy weekend to everyone else.

  1. Love your flower - I'm really into pop flowers at the moment and this is just wonderful. Love the teabags, too - they'd make great flowers, h'mm… Your cloudy diary page is fab. Brill idea to use the clouds for your days' entries and perfect for Erika's challenge. Glad to see you're making a lot more art again ;-)

  2. Love your airy calendar and both journal pages, especially the fantastic collage. May the fourth be with you, too! Crazy weather here with snow, rain, hailstones etc, same as in England. Hugs, Valerie

  8. I love your calendar pages - what a great idea to use clouds for the journalling bits. Why do I never have these good ideas?
    Great circular pages too, the use of the teabags is another good idea which I again, never think of.
    Fab entries to the challenges.
    hugs, Neet xx

  9. Oh Alison, I LOVE your calendar this month. It is so sweet and colorful. It is also a great entry for Erika's theme at Art Journal Journey. You are SO clever.

    I absolutely adore your Day 29 abstract. It is fabulous AND uses some of those great round teabags, too. Day 30's flower is adorable, too.

    Have a super bank holiday and a great rest of the weekend.
