An Attitude of Gratitude Journal

Thank you so much to all those who have followed along with An Attitude of Gratitude through November 2013.

I have loved looking at your work.

Here are all my pages for 2013.





















I did all my pages this year in a Dylusions journal.  Last year I did it on separate pages so if you would like to see how I made the book go to this post.

If you have enjoyed this month there are other challenge blogs that I have run.  You can find the details about them all here.

12 Months in View is a year long challenge blog based on the seasons.  The Winter season starts today.  Why not come over and join us?

Thanks for all your support.

Techniques for days 28 to 30

Instead of a technique challenge for each day there will be links to technique videos on a particular tool or media for you to choose from over a few days.

For the next few days we will be looking at water-based media.

Watercolour paints, pencils and crayons









There are many more videos on YouTube than I have used here.  If you find a good one please leave a link to it in the comments section.   Thanks.
