12 Stunning Artworks By Local Artists Featured in CBTL's 2019 Giving Journal

(SPOT.ph) You know the ‘ber months are upon us when you start OD’ing on cup after cup of coffee or tea to collect stamps so you can claim your free planner for the coming year. It’s become somewhat of a tradition, and one that stays true to the Christmas spirit, especially if you’re collecting stamps for The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s Giving Journal, which benefits the Real LIFE Foundation, an organization that aims to help the underprivileged youth through educational assistance, character building, and values formation.

For the 2019 Giving Journal, CBTL tapped local artists who also happen to be their own customers. In their works, the artists each gave a unique spin on the central theme: generosity.

Here’s a glimpse into the artwork you’ll find within the pages of the Giving Journal: 

January

June Digan drew a colorful heart-shaped island peppered with acts of generosity.

February

Kelly Liwanag created a cup full of caring and sharing for the month of February, inspired by CBTL's Caring Cup Program.

March

Denise Celones imagined a plant of hope in the shape of a heart, for a “heart that gives is a heart that grows.”

April

Here’s a heartwarming scene by Jake Sans Relano depicting a young girl sharing her favorite toy with a sick boy.
