Creative weekend

I have had a creative weekend. I spent the majority of my weekend creating a piece of art for my graphic art GCSE. I am doing a typography unit and decided to create a board with all words related to a Garden Shed. My friends helped me to come up with some great words, but my finger really hurt after cutting each letter out from cardboard with what I later realised was a blunt craft knife!! Silly me :P Anyway, it's great to have it finished and I am celebrating the fact that I will no longer have to spend my whole weekend doing art coursework as the deadline for the course is Friday. Although, unfortunately, my weekend's will now be spent revising for other subjects, but it'll be worth it I suppose.

I managed to squeeze some scrapbooking into my weekend too. :) I brought this blank calendar from the Paper Mill Shop for last year but never got around to decorating it to use as a calendar. So I decided to keep a basic diary last year and then I would scrapbook it. Here is the calendar all blank and waiting to be decorated.
I've only got January done so far. Here it is.
I was really pleased with this LO. I followed a sketch from the pencil lines book which I've never done before. I'm pleased I did, I really like how it has ended up. As you can see there are some gaps left next to the days, I'm not the best at keeping diaries! Just another 11 to try and find time to do!

I'm not suprprised your finger hurt but it does look great. January looks good too. I'm doing a art journal calendar challenge and it certainly is a challenge keeping up with it :)Good to see you got the divider sorted I like it.
