Description: This is a work-in-progress for the SHCG BWC#7 which is to scraft about an event for which I do not have pictures for. I actually do have pictures for some of the events. However, I haven't been writing in a journal much lately, and a lot has happened in the past few weeks that I didn't want to forget; so, I decided to make an inchie to symbolize each of those events, and place them on a blank May calendar to serve as a more visual journal. The inspiration that drove this idea comes from Christy's BWC#10 which was to use a phrase from a Dove chocolate wrapper on a lo. I chose, "Take advantage of every free moment you have," and placed it on the first day of the month. KissNcontrol's Daily Cards and the "Day By Day Calendar Journal" presented in Linda Woods & Karen Dinino's book, Journal Revolution: Rise Up and Create! are also major inspirations for this project. All inchies are made from scraps and unused pieces from my stash. When this calendar is complete, I will use the Notes section to elaborate on specific events.

SHCG: Ok. OK! I freaking bow to your creative genius, grasshopper. I am in total awe of the idea, the execution, the everything. This will be jacked. Oh, yes. It will be mine. I am stunned by its simplicity, yet complexity at exactly the same freaking time! Suggestions. I got nothing. I like Sharon's idea for your title (month). I think that a montage of patterned paper forming the letters in the month would totally complement the layout. As far as the blank calendar dates, I would leave them blank with just the number. It is like the old adage, "You don't recognize the good, without the bad". The empty days make the full days that much more vibrant and important. Just my 2 cents. Don't try to give me back some change, you vixen! Love this with all of my heart!
SHCG: This is a fabulous idea. Each "inchie" is so interesting. An inchie of just a cropped photo might be fun too (even if it's just on the blank squares, the ones without dates"). I really hate to be saying this...but I am not diggin' the background color. It may work better with the addition of your title. And speaking of titles, I am hoping you will be adding the month and year. This is very interesting idea I am going to have to ponder it some more.
PS when visually you have too many blank squares maybe you could just add some text like "RIDESHARE THURSDAY" or American Idol finals or "stepped in poo today".
