Hello All!
We've had a mixed bag of weather here today. Fortunately, it was fine until late afternoon. I went walking with Hubby on the golf course first thing, and then with my Mum and Dad and our River Walkers group later in the morning. I love the river walk, especially now with all the river birds having their chicks. Here are the Egyptian Geese and Coot families. Aren't they adorable?!
Back to the title of my post. Here is my May art journal calendar spread. I'm linking it to Elle's Language theme at Art Journal Journey. I think the theme of my spread could be the language of colour, as I do love my brights. I've also used PaperArtsy script stamps on the tickets, and scribble journaled around the edge of my spread. Or maybe it's the language of those two birds, chatting away at the bottom of the page.
I used some Dina Wakley stamps, and also one of my hand-carved stamps. It's our birthdays and anniversary month in May, so I used a couple of Dina's bird stamps for us lovebirds 😍 It'll be our 30th anniversary next week.
Before I go, here is my April spread with those Easter eggs all filled out with daily walks and lots of arty time.
Thanks for visiting me today,
Alison xox

ReplyDeleteThe weather might have been weird but those birds and their babies are wonderful. That was a nice find. Nice calendars too. I like your colors and birds for May. And I see your stamps too. Thanks so much for linking up to Elle's challenge also. Hope you have good weather tomorrow and another exciting walk. Hugs-Erika

It is great to see the ducks, swans and geese with their young. We had our eye on a couple of swans that are nesting. Your calendar looks great wth these wonderful colours - those lovebirds are perfect for your anniversary month. Hugs, Chrisx

ReplyDeleteForgot to say, I also love those geese, don't think I've seen that kind before! Elle
ReplyDeleteAlways a treat to see your calendar pages! Love the colors and the birds on May! They go well with your lovely bird pictures too. Impressive to see April all done too. I think I wrote twice in my April - lol! Super art!
ReplyDeleteThat Bubblegum Pink (?) looks great against that blue/green background. Quite a striking set of pages and the birds are adorable,
ReplyDeleteNot so adorable as the ones yu showed us from your River Walk - how lovely, must go to our park and see if the ducklings have arrived there.
