I tried something different this week with the planner pages, I spread them out over two pages. I like it. It gave me more room to doodle on each day. This is a picture of my tip in folded up and the added tag held up to take the picture.

The Documented Life Project. Start to Week 6

My friend Aunt C. is doing 

The Documented Life Project.

To explain in a short phrase this is a  planner that has been "ARTed" up. Yes I just created that word.  You can learn more about this HERE. Join in on the challenges you by going HERE.  They have a a facebook and instagram account to follow too.  

I was not able to find a "planner" and I was to impatient to wait for one to be mailed to me, so I purchased a journal and am creating mine. It is still the Molekine brand for the quality but I am making it as I go.

Here is the first look at my planner.

I created the front page, it was not a challenge or assignment I just wanted to do it. 

I have added a monthly calendar in the start of each month. I will finish decorating this as I feel inspired.

Here what a lay out looks like. With both the weekly planner page and the challenge.

Week 1 Challenge

Challenge -- Photograph, sketch, paint or incorporate your front door.

Week 2 Challenge

Selfie

Week 3 Challenge

Add an envelope from your mailbox

Week 4 Challenge 

Write a secret message then paint over all but one key word.

Week 5 Challenge 

Add a doodle border.

Week 6 Challenge

Open your Pinterest board and be inspired.

That is where I am as of today. I am looking forward to posting my weekly challenges with you. Let me know if you join in and I will follow your project too.
