Instagram Challenge: #doodlewithusinjune2018

I'm excited to announce our Instagram Challenge for the month of June! 👏🏻

It's the #doodlewithusinjune2018 Instagram Challenge created by me and Alexandra (from @alexandra_plans).

It's going to be 30 days of doodles that will hopefully get you to be creative and have fun! We're going with a 'In The Garden' for this month. I seriously can't wait to start drawing!

As we did before, all the doodles are part of one big comprehensive picture. Imagine each day to be one piece of the puzzle. So, at the end of the month you will have one big doodle picture! :)

If you decide to follow this way, you'll have to create a table with 5x6 boxes and you shouldn't add the days on the top. You can also make the boxes and dates in pencil, if you don't want the lines to obscure the end result. It's totally up to you.

Of course, if you prefer to draw the doodles in the traditional way, that's absolutely fine as well. The important thing is to have fun!

You can also download a free printable with the daily prompts here.

If you want to join us then:

• Follow me (Christina) @christina77star and Alexandra @alexandra_plans over on Instagram.
• Download the prompts below.
• Draw something according to the day's prompt, take a photo of it, and share it with us on Instagram. 
• Don't forget to add the hashtag #doodlewithusinjune2018 and spread the word.
• Everyone is welcome!

We're excited to see what you'll share! 

Thank you for joining in!

Improve Your Handwriting Challenge - June

I'm back with one more "Improve your Handwriting Challenge"!

It's a fun way to practice daily, keep a photo archive of your handwriting and see how you've improved through time. You can also interact online with other people doing the same challenge, and also you can get inspired by others' handwriting too.

So, for June it's going to be 30 days of handwriting prompts that will hopefully get you to start practicing your handwriting every day. The theme for this month's words is 'Numbers'.

With this theme you can practice both your letters and numbers at the same time 

HERE'S HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

• Follow me (Christina) @christina77star over on Instagram.
• If you want, you can download and print the monthly prompts here.
• Each day there is a corresponding prompt, that you simply have to write on a piece of paper. You can also choose to have a dedicated notebook for your daily handwriting practice. Try and focus on the word and the letters as you write them. You can repeat the word as many times as you want. Look at the way that you wrote the word the first time and the way you wrote it the last time. Is there a difference? Do you think you need to work on a specific letter? 
• Take a photo of your practice and tag it with #improveyourhandwritingchallenge, so that it gets added to the feed.
• At the end of each month look back at your practice pages and see how you've improved.
• Make sure to encourage each other and have fun!
• Please share this post to spread the word and invite others to join in the fun and improve their handwriting as well!

Thank you for joining in!
