The week 8 prompt was to create a flap for your flap.

I completed this on February 22nd but since it was my birthday I didn’t get a chance to post it.  Then I got sick and wasn’t able to put it up til now.

Since the 22nd was my birthday I decided I would make the flaps about it.  I used the flaps so that when they were open they would create a cake and a section for me to write about my day.  On the other sides of the flaps I wrote birthday quotes, events that happened on the day I was born, other people born this day and zodiac sign information.  I also used a lot of purple since purple is my favorite color which is the color of my birthstone which is amethyst.

To create these pages I used gesso, Koi watercolors, acrylic paint markers, Sakura Micron pens, washi tape, paper flowers and watercolor paper.

Forgot to post this last week.

The prompt for Week 7 was to Draw a shape, repeat it and color it.

My planner pages for the week.

The prompt for Week 6 was to look on pinterest and be inspired.  I choose to be inspired by Teesha Moore.  I also chose to be inspired by her style not just a specific piece.  I normally don’t like collage pieces but since her style also includes doodling and drawing I thought I would try it.

I really like how my first piece turned out.  As soon as I decided on Teesha Moore I knew I wanted to do a peacock and I looked for a quote I liked to go with it.

This is my second piece for the prompt.  I’m not all that thrilled with it.

Here are my planner pages for the week.

The prompt for week 5 was to add a doodle border.

When I read the prompt I immediately had an idea.  However I then became sick and felt horrible all week.  This was the best I could do.  I used gesso, Distress Inks, Sharpies and a Sakura Moonlight Pen. I might create my first idea and add it in or just do it in an art journal.

The prompt for week 4 was to write a secret message and then paint over all of it but one word.

After writing the first sentence for my secret message I realized the word I wanted to use was focus.  I then decided I wanted to make it visible 3 times and larger. I then finished my message and gessoed over everything but the word focus. I covered the words with masking tape to make sure that when I painted everything else with watercolors I wouldn’t accidentally paint over them.  I then doodled on the page.  I really liked how it turned out.

Below is my completed week 4 pages. I used the masking tape I had covered the word focus with and wrote about some things that happened this week on them.  I decided to include some doodles on this page as well and I printed out a picture of Waffles in his tie.  There were some other things I planned to include but the page already had too much on it and I didn’t want to clutter it or add another page in.
