Y is for Year.

This weeks Alpha challenge over at The Craft Barn is to use the letter Y but with an added twist. You must use the colour yellow somewhere on your page.  Well there are not many pages in the dictionary for the letter Y but one word caught my eye in particular, Year.
A lot of the other entrants have chosen to decorate their dictionary pages in situ but I decided to take my pages out and make a small separate booklet. At the end of the year (we are doing a letter a fortnight) I will have 13 pages (double sided) plus a front and back cover. We are just over the half way mark now and my booklet is really beginning to take shape.
Anyway I digress as  to why I chose the word year. Well as this will have been a year long project when completed I thought a page which depicted the actual year created would be quite appropriate . 

Page has been coloured using watered down poster paint. Months are from current and old calendar pages. Ribbon from stash and letter created using  Sizzix alphabet strip 656133

Entering into the following  challenge:

Brilliant idea Mrs A - sums it up nicely and a lovely page.

Javelins? Oh no - now I'm putting my foot down with a firm hand!

Hugs, Di xx

Good thinking on your choice of the word. Love the bright yellow chosen to go along with the word. You'll have a wonderful book when you've finished all the assignments & projects. TFS

Funny how I overlooked the obvious - what a great way to interpret year - so relevant to what we are doing, and I see you have a 'thingy' which says you have made 37 christmas cards!

Great idea for the 'Y' page.
