Deb's December Daily Art Journal Plans.

This year I am doing my December Daily in a 'Dylusions Creative Journal'.  The plan is not to get too weighed down in heavy mixed media pages (we'll see what happens there  lol), although I do want to have a play with different techniques, either ones I have used before or new ones I want to try out.  Most of all I want it to be achievable - a small creative journal (5x8) with easy fun pages.

and the inside ........ (I'm sure the envelope will come in very handy too)

For most days, I will use a double page and as this journal has more pages than I will need for December, I plan on including some random Christmas related pages throughout the album eg. a Christmas song, a quote, a childhood memory, a recipe and certainly still be including photos but there will be days I'd like to try to create things about my day in an "arty" sort of way with no photo.  Now, I'm no artist but I'm really looking forward to trying this out this year.

At the moment, my desk is looking pretty clean but it won't stay that way for long.  Last year, like Mandy, Julie and Bec,  I had all my chosen papers and embellishments collected together in a box to work from.  That's not really going to work for me this year as I don't plan on using much in the way of papers or embellishments.

So, come the 1st December, out will come the gesso, mists, paints, watercolours, stamps and anything else that might work on my pages.  Certainly there will be some up-cycling happening too I would imagine.
 AND THINGS COULD GET VERY MESSY........
BUT IT WILL BE FUN AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GIVE THIS A GO.
A very different December Daily for me........
Last year I did pastels and this year I plan to brighten things up a little.
