This is a reminder of how my February spread started 
And these are my completed February pages. 
As the month progressed I added the title, the days' entries, and some stamps between the days, and then looked at it for quite a while last night wondering how to complete it. In the end I decided to just paste on the red roses and move onto March.
This month was inspired by NZ Book week....base made of torn book pages (from last year's library book sale). 
The daily squares are gesso outlined with a lovely thick Pitt brush pen - I also used that pen for the stencilled month title. 
The black and white also reminds me of all the newspaper reports about the Christchurch earthquake - it is appropriate that it is a bit stark as the country works through this disaster.
