I made the cover from trimming down the box our kits come in.  There are two books inside but they only have a few pages in each one.  I wanted to leave space to add embellishments to the pages.

I gave the cover and white side of the papers a paint.  I wasn’t too fussy about colours and wanted to enjoy the process more than the actual finished project.  Each time I passed I added another layer. Texture paste, paint, stamps, tissue paper.  I hunted out some stencils used a couple of inks to roughly dab onto the pages too.  To finish the pages off I used some chalk pens to add little clusters of dots and shapes.

My word for this year is ‘Build’. I feel so lucky that I feel in a pretty good position this year but there are definitely a few ares I could work on.  Building on relationships, Building a better routine for self care…Everything is ok as it is but there is room for improvement.  I’m excited to add some journalling/affirmations into my mini book to keep me motivated in coming back to my word!

Have a lovely day!
