Howdy folks! Last week I introduced you to my new journal for 2019. I switched weeks around and last week I showed you this current week's page and so today I am showing you last week's page.
I love this giant face. He is in shock it is already 2019. I cut him out of a bag from Trader Joe's. The background was green with white dots and I added the blue diamonds, black grid marks and the little bit of music. All of these were stenciled with some acrylic paint.
And last I knew diamonds and dots are geometric shapes, so I am linking this page up to Alison's fun challenge at Art Journal Journey.
And over at Try It On Tuesday the newest challenge is Something Old, Something New. My old calendar journal is filled and done and put on shelf and this is my new calendar journal for 2019.
Not much new here in my life except for going to work and some dreary rain, ice and snowy weather. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

What a fun start-up page in your journal. That face is a great idea. Have a wonderful day, hugs, Valerie
Super page here, Erika...love the expression on his face! I think we all get more and more shocked as the years seem to shorten... Great colours, too.
Thanks for sharing with us at TIOT for the Something Old or Something New challenge.

That's kind of a scary face. Or a scary page, at least! But I like it. I'm shocked it is 2019 too!
That is a great face for the start of a New Year. The expression on my face when there's snow. Just rain for us this morning and I'm perfectly ok with that. Have a good day and be careful on the roads.
This looks AMAZING dear Erika! WOW! I am excited about your new calendar journal and looking forward to this years spreads to follow! And wow - thank you for supporting AJJ and TioT with this wonderful vibrant and so alive spread!
AMAZING!
Big hugs, Susi

GORGEOUS page, Erika!!!!!!!!!!!! This shocked guy is soooooooo cute!!!!!!! Hugs, my friend.
A fabulous page Erika, he looks a bit startled and in of of the new year beginning. I love the quote you added, its a good start to your year's story.
I like how you are numbering the days as well.

I love this calendar page. You come up with some of the most clever ideas. I remember when I was in CA, I saw that face on a Trader Joe's bag. Wish we had them here. Their bags have the best art, and you certainly capitalized on it. Thanks for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey. I think this is a wonderful entry. And here you were worried you couldn't come up with a geometric shape!
Ha, I see we are using the same calendar this year. Absolutely love your first page, that face is genius, and how fun you cut him out from a Trader Joe bag (wished we had that chain here in the UK)…
Great start to the new year!
What a great diary page, he does look rather shocked
Thanks for joining us at Try It On Tuesday Challenge

Got to love Trader Joe's - how I used to enjoy visiting the stores on my trips to America. What a wonderful bag - such a great face and so expressive which makes it perfect to kickstart your journal off for 2019.
Yes, in my books diamonds are geometric shapes, tipped over on their side they are just plain and simple rectangles so go with it. Just love the background you have achieved here - both colour and shapes.
Hugs, Neet xx
It's brilliant Erika! I love this page! Thanks for linking it to my theme at AJJ.
