Welcome March

Hi everyone. Welcome to the new month.
March means spring officially arrives, and spring means the world is greening up.
This month Eileen from the  The ARtful Crafter is our lovely hostess at Art Journal Journey.
And her theme this month  is GREEN.
Perfect for spring.

My first page this month began with a colorful Gelli print with a splash of green in it. Then I added an acetate map over it. 
Spring means getting out bicycles. It means spring showers and wearing fewer clothes. I had a couple of these lady stickers in my stash. I gave them a bit of green and one of them also got a green umbrella for all those spring showers. I trimmed off the bottom of the page with some green ribbon. It not only looks good but also could stand for some green grass.
Finally I added some magazine words.

I hope you like my page, and it inspires you to join us at  Art Journal Journey.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I like your take on Green, Erika. I wish I COULD wear fewer clothes, but it's still cold here. Unlike your adorable ladies in their spring outfits. It's an adorable first entry using Eileen's theme at Art Journal Journey, dear.

Happy March Erika, i'm so looking forward to this month and seeing green, green and even more green as we travel through the month. A clever take on the AJJ theme with your green gelli page and acetate map on top, it starts the journey off perfectly. Super page. Sending creative HUgs your way Tracey x

So much to see! so many layers of detail to a fun green themed page ~ I'm not excited about the rain, but I am about fewer clothes. It'll be nice to take a walk without hat,scarf, gloves, and be lighter. The green ribbon does look like grass. I especially like her "smile" umbrella and her own little smile ~ Happy March 1st!

A fresh and fun page. Though I'm waiting for the shoe or snow to drop weather-wise. Enjoy you day!

I do like your page Erika. I like the Gelli print you used and those two figures are just so charming. Great idea to give one a green umbrella for those spring showers.
Hugs, Neet xx
