Documented Life...Challenge 7..Bicycles and Hearts (smile)


This week's challenge in the Documented Life Project was to take a shape and repeat it, then add color. Of course with Valentine's Day creeping up on us, I thought I'd make Valentine's themed pages this week. I used a heart made of bike chain links that I drew in the past. I just printed it out smaller and cut it out. Then I got to work drawing a sweet little red bicycle. Then I added a few more hearts for a border and as balloons. 

Here is how I made the wheels. I overlapped some washi tape on a nonstick paper until I had a wide enough piece for a wheel (bottle cap). Then I traced and cut them out, peeled them off and put them on the page. I drew my bike from the wheels up.

My favorite part is the chain-heart balloon! So glad you are energized by this journaling group.

Thanks Warren. I like that heart too. I got the idea from a key chain someone had made from old bike chain.

Doing this little planner, has jump started me. I even have my art room mostly sorted out now.
