Hi everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful day and had a good February!
It is that time again to plan with me but this time, it's a very special one because
I am collaborating with 3 other amazing, sweet, and super talented artists: Cristina from
MyLifeinaBullet, Jenny from Jenny Journals, and my new friend Nicole from Nicole's Journal.
Although I am still very new to this community, I am already overwhelmed by all of the love
and support within it.
I believe in bringing others up instead of being competitive because we have so much
to learn from each other.
And there is also enough room for everyone to be great.
So I am thankful to be a part of your journaling journey as much as you are part of mine.
Our theme for March is called Memories of Spring, each of us answering the question:
"What do you remember most about Spring?"
Since we haven't revealed our videos to each other yet, I am so excited to see what
everyone created, so hop on over to their videos along with me and leave them lots of
love!
I'll post all of their video links along with all of my supplies and other goodies
down in the description.
Growing up and even now, I remember the songs of the birds the most as the weather begins
to warm and the snow begins to melt.
There's also this distinct smell to the air, but I couldn't find a way to capture
that through my drawings, so this month as the birds begin to sing, we'll follow the
journey of the Bear as I ink my setup.
While the last wisp of cold air leaves the season, the bear, having departed from his
friend the bunny, is alone and a little lost, encased in a wreath of beautiful blooming
leaves.
He smells the spring air, making its way to warm up the land, and as he looks up, he finds
a beautiful and curious bird chirping as cheerful as ever.
After inking with my 03 micron, I went back in with my gold gelly roll and a Light grey
Zig Kuretake Brush pen to add some more dimension.
Underneath the month, I also added some ripped blush cardstock and the phrase, oh, hello Spring
The bear is struggling with his independence.
There was a comfort in having a companion that is now replaced with a void, that seemed
to consume him in sadness.
The sweet melody of the bird and the spring air reminds him to try be better.
He tries to find peace within himself, to find beauty in being alone, and to try to
feel true happiness.
He follows the song of the bird through the warming waters as the plants begin to grow
out of the tough soil, defying gravity and rising tall and magnificent.
These are his inspirations.
Once the watercolors are dry, I went back in with my micron to tie it back in with the
rest of the spread.
And I also added some highlights using my white gelly roll.
The painting turned out a little different than I imagined, but it still looks pretty good.
I'll have this painting and the entire setup in my shop, so that check out if you're interested!
The painting will then go here and on the next page I have my mood of the month.
This is the month of emergence, of rising, of overcoming.
Underneath that is an inspiring quote by Nancy Lopez, she says: Doubt yourself and you doubt
everything you see.
Judge yourself and you see judges everywhere.
But if you listen to the sound of your own voice, you can rise above doubt and judgment.
And you can see forever.
Just as the birds build their nests one twig at a time, so can the bear emerge from his
gloom and build a strong foundation to this new chapter of his life.
I did change my 3 month calendar spread a little bit and simplified it to one page.
This is one of the many spreads that you're going to see over and over again
because It is so useful when it comes time to plan ahead.
I have this month larger up top and then the next two months, smaller below.
After I inked the spread I, again went back in with my gold gelly roll and then with the
brush pen to keep things consistent.
On the next page, I am going to add in my video ideas for the month, any upcoming projects,
or product ideas for my shop.
This way I can brainstorm ideas and have a permanent place to put them or refer back to them.
Moving on to my monthly calendar spread.
I don't think I've changed this one since I started journaling and that is okay because
it works very well for me.
I have the title to the left and then birds chirping and chattering away on a branch up top.
Once I finish up the calendar, I added the same blush card stock to the right and my monthly goals.
This month, I want to work on my book, eat healthy, work out 5 days a week, recently,
it's been about 4 days, but that's also okay.
Learn something new everyday and I want to try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
I've realized that I am so quick to think poorly of others and I wouldn't want to
be treated like that, so I want to try to be better.
Also, my brother is helping with my website, so that's where that is right now.
I think it's one of those projects that is ongoing.
Next are my trackers.
There are 31 boxes for the 31 days of the month.
And for everyday that I draw or eat well or exercise I can fill in those boxes any way
that I want.
On top of each box are two versions of the sun and then leaves similar to the ones in
the beginning to tie to all together.
Through his emotional journey, the bear is exhausted.
He allows himself to take a nap, sound and comfortable, surrounded by the Spring air
carrying the melody of the chattering chirping birds.
He is at peace within and without, letting go of the past and being fully in the present.
This is my page of milestones.
If I accomplish anything large or small, I'll write them here, to remember to celebrate
even the littlest of victories.
This bear is also my reminder that it's okay to take a break from time to time and
to take care of myself.
After his nap, he continues to explore what the world has to offer and is overwhelmed
as his enters into a field of blooming flowers, amidst the tall mountains.
A beauty that he would not have found if he surrendered to his loneliness.
The enclosed wreathe in the beginning has changed to an open wreathe, allowing the birds
to fly beyond as roses begin to bloom among the leaves.
I then added in accents with my gold gelly roll and then underneath the title, is my
own quote that sums up the story, it says: Find peace within and you'll find happiness.
As I go through my weeks, I'll fill in my weekly to do list on the right.
This has been working so well for me because I don't feel constricted within boxes and
I have the room to be flexible depending on the week.
I have to admit, that the spread turned out pretty good.
I was struggling a little bit with the concept and I wasn't feeling at my most creative
state.
Though, I did learn and I have been learning, that you have to just start, whether that
is sketching out circles or mindless doodles.
Inspiration doesn't come to you, you have to make your way to it.
but the trick is to put all those emotions aside and just begin.
If you haven't entered it, my giveaway for a version of this journal and a few other
things is still open until March 9th!
So check out my last video, which I'll link below for more info and to enter!
And stay tuned for a behind the scenes type video where I'll show my process in creating
this spread, where I find my quotes, and my overall inspirations.
Now, I am going to check out the 3 other talented ladies and give them some love, so you can
join along with me and we'll make them feel so much love that should last them a good bit.
Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful and meaningful day, I'll see you next time.
Bye!
