Art Journal January Day 4

I am still keeping up with Milliande's Journal January, crossing my fingers that life won't get in my way too much and I can keep going.
Today's prompt was to use a checkerboard border somewhere in the page.
Here is what I came up with. At first I was not at all happy with the results, but I have come to accept it, and that is what art journaling is all about for me anyway.
I am sure there will be lots of ugly art in my future.
