 We are here to work on our signature for June and I will be honest with you, at the time of filming this, I'm not done with May yet, it is actually the beginning of May, I'm filming this quite a bit ahead because I'm getting ready yet again to do more construction at my house in case you didn't know yet. So I don't know how loud, noisy, or obnoxious it's going to be or how long for sure it's going to take. So I thought I would get these videos done ahead of time if I could. I will probably be adding some videos either to YouTube with the hashtag MyYear2017 or directly to the Facebook group that showed flips of my progress not only for May but for June. So if you're not a member of the Facebook group and you'd like to be or my other Facebook group or you'd like to shop in my Etsy shop and support my channel or send me Happy Mail or send me an email, any of that, all that stuff is in the description so check it out, okay? This is the setup video for MyYear2017 over on Facebook. This is my insert for June that's going to go in my journal. Right now, this is April and May and look how fat it is. I keep thinking I can get three months in here at a time but yeah, that's just not happening. So here is June, our prompt from June is growth, which is really interesting prompt, yes? I love the idea of this prompt. The first thing we're going to do is we are going to find a section to tip in our book club list and find something to tip it in on. I don't know, I don't know. I've got some random bits and pieces and bits and bobs and different things, scraps of paper, let me see what I can find that might work, okay? So these are last month I did a live Wednesday broadcast where we did watercoloring on the jelly plate and so these are some of the prints that we did. I'm thinking to cut one of these up and stick it in there, which I think is a great idea. I kind of like this one because I don't know what about that says growth to me, either that one or this one. I kind of like this one, let's do that one. So obviously this is too big. So we need to cut this because that's way too big. Narrowly I would just give it a good ol' whack with the scissors, but I think that it's probably prudent for me not to do that. So I'm going to cut it about, I'm going to cut out my book list doodle. This is a free doodle download that's here in the My Year 2017 Facebook group. If you're not on Facebook, then why aren't you and why aren't you in the group? You don't have to do anything else on Facebook, just be part of the Facebook group. Anyway, for those of you that are, you can get this free, it's in the files. There's a number of different ones. I always use the one that says book list, but there's a number of different ones and you could use them for anything. You could use them for grocery shopping lists or your monthly to-do list or really anything. I use some tape runner. I'm going to stick that on the back of this and I'm going to put it a little bit to the right, or at least I'm going to try to because we're going to tip this in. So let's get some tape on there. This is decorative masking tape. Works great for tip-ins because you don't have to use glue. You don't have to worry about it not being sticky enough. Some of the washi tapes, which I use occasionally, you've seen me use them, are great and they're pretty and all, but some of them aren't super sticky. So you have to have glue underneath and on top of them sometimes. The masking tape is just a little easier. When I'm feeling lazy, I like the masking tape. So that works. I like that. Alright, so I have some random bits and pieces here. This is an old watercolor sample from a live broadcast, I think. I think it was alcohol markers and alcohol. I don't know. This is from an old live broadcast, though, that I know for sure. So I'm going to actually use it. It's just a random sample that I never throw these things away because I could maybe use it for something. So I'm going to stick it right there. And this month is all about growth and it kind of is an extension of last month's spring theme. But this month you could use the similar symbols to last month to symbolize growth in a new beginning and a new start, whether it's personal growth or artistic growth or something else in your life that you're striving to achieve. And I also have some bumblebees on here. To me, those also symbolize growth. Get that off. And use this one, too, in here somewhere. Let's find a spot for it. I think I want to use it back here somewhere. I don't want to put too much because as the month goes along, as you all know by now, I collect bits and pieces and I use them in my journals and it starts to get filled up with different things and events in my life, which I love. And this is just Elmer's Extreme Glue. Okay, what else do we have here? I don't know why I like this weird little circle thing, but I do. Again, this is just some random scrap. I think this is from when we were doing the crayon monoprints, as was this one. So let's cut both of these out. You don't have to save all these little bitty scraps, but this just goes to show that you can use anything, anything to decorate your journal. It doesn't have to be expensive stuff that's from the store or fancy stuff. And I'm going to get out the gel highlighters. I think I like this blue one. The Bible Gel High Gliders I use a lot. You can pick them up, of course, online at Amazon. You can probably also find them if you have a local religious stores that sells Bibles and journaling Bibles and the like. You probably can get them there. This is just titanium white acrylic paint. This isn't even anything expensive. It's just very inexpensive paint. So I want you to just go out this month, get your signatures ready for the month and your pages. Have fun with it. Do some decorating. Think about a new start and growth in your personal life maybe or in your expression of art or whatever the word growth means to you. And work on creating something that will allow you to express that this month. I'm really impatient. I don't really want to wait for stuff to dry. I hate waiting for things to dry. So go out and have some fun with it. Find some bits of pieces and start working on your pages for the month. And I will be back with the next video. I hope that you are having a great day and a great week. Don't forget to check out the video's description and like, share, and subscribe if you're not part of the My Year 2017 Facebook group but you'd like to join. Again, the link is in the description and the most important thing, go out and have a great day everybody. Do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later. Bye guys.
