May calendar







Better late than never ! We've been very busy recently - Easter and lots of Bank holidays, which meant days volunteering at the Reading Beer & Cider festival. Great fun but also hard work. So I painted my May pages a few days ago, filled in some of the entries and finished the stamping yesterday. This month I did the pages with watercolours again, but I masked off the squares before doing the background - more or less - some of them are neater than others. Then I doodled edges and stamped with the Craft stamper balloon stamp. Today I added a couple of photos of the lovely balloon flight that was my birthday present a few years ago.
