Hi everyone. Happy Wednesday. I hope you're having a good week.
Today I have a journal page for Chris' Spring challenge over at Art Journal Journey. There's still another several days of March to go if you're inclined to join in. In another week it will be April, which I hope will bring a lot more spring-like (and a lot less winter-like) weather in my area. Thank you Chris for a spring themed challenge because it's the closest I've gotten to green leaves and spring flowers yet. 😏
My background paper was white, and I gave it a bit of a splatter. I had some wide map washi tape which I used on the top of the other side of this page. The tape was wide enough that I folded it over. On this side the image is upside down but that only makes me think how spring can be...not really spring but still back in winter. 😉
I took some printed paper and die cut what looks like a small sheet of paper ripped from a spiral bound notebook. I stamped the grid and the lines on the top.
After adding that to my page. I used the frame and some leaves from a couple of different 49 and Market sets. The chick is one image from an old Easter set from the former stamp company Cornish Heritage Farms. I didn't think my page, which I was trying to make look like spring, didn't actually look very much like spring. The chick did the trick. Then I added a button and also an orange paper clip. Both happened to be sitting on my work table.
I suppose a "hello" quote would work on this page, but I left the page quote-less mainly because at this point there wasn't much room for any words.
I'll end this post with a couple of photos from last Saturday when my husband, the dogs and myself took a trip up to check on my mother-in-law's house. The snow had finally melted enough that we could get in without snowshoes and since the road was surprisingly not really wet, the dogs and I could take a nice little walk.
Plus there's a slight bit of ice melt along the shore, but there's still a way to go before ice will be out.
Have a great day!
