Woohoo! If you had told me that I was going to pick up another DT position, I would have laughed but then I got an invitation from Morgan's ArtWorld and I just couldn't turn it down since I love her artwork so much! I'm honored to be asked and this is my first project as a DT member.
It's for the August 19 challenge which runs for two weeks and our theme is "Anything But a Card." I do mostly cards so sometimes it's difficult for me to switch gears and think in terms of something else but not this time. I had just picked up a new 16 month calendar/planner for the rest of 2016 and all of 2017. It was very plain and just cried out to have something beautiful decorating it. What do you think?
I colored with ProMarkers, trimmed the image to fit the front of the planner book, and was very pleased with the fact that I'll get to look at that from now until the end of 2017.
Because I didn't want it to get worn or dirty being slipped in and out of my purse or briefcase, after I photographed it I laminated it. I also tied some ribbons to the top of the spiral binding after I took this photo so there's some texture and I can use them to mark a particular page. It's perfect now!

Please continue to leave comments. The "Word Verification" really isn't on. BLOGGER INSISTS ON SHOWING THE "CAPTCHA" ICON BUT IF YOU IGNORE IT AND JUST PUBLISH YOUR COMMENT, IT WILL POST JUST FINE. I WISH I COULD GET RID OF IT BUT THERE'S NO OPTION FOR THAT WHEN THE COMMENTS ARE WRITTEN IN A SEPARATE BOX. SORRY.

The image is "Kitty in Garden" and
you know how perfect that is for me. :-D

Wow wow wow Connie!! This is absolutely stunning!! Your coloring looks gorgeous and I love that you've done a planner with it! Such a great idea!! Congrats and so well deserved on your new DT spot!! BIGGEST HUGS
I really like your idea of laminating the artwork for your cover - that is what has stopped me from doing a project like this. I like all the shades of green in your garden and the contrast of the brick wall. Nicely done Connie! Thank you so much for sharing your project and creativity at 613 Ave C!
