A Little Spring Madness

     Hi everyone. Happy mid-week to you. I hope your week is going well. We've had a couple of gorgeous spring days ❤, and even though we have some supposedly precipitation coming in later today, it is supposed to be rain and not snow. 😀 (At least for today. That might not be true at the end of the week.)

    What a fickle month March has been. Last week started with the temperature at 1 degree F/-17 degrees C. Then we had 2 need to shovel snow events, plus a 50 degrees F/10 degrees C day. This week we have had 2 days around 70 degrees F/ 21 degrees C, but now we're in a cool down. It sounds like we could get a little wintery weather at the end of the week. Maybe. We still aren't snow free in my area, but you can imagine we lost a lot of it with the 2 very warm days. There is SO MUCH MUD right now too.

    However, it was really nice to open up some windows after the inside of the house being closed up all winter. 

    Today I have a page for Chris' Spring Forward challenge at Art Journal Journey. The madness in this page's quote could be referring to the recent weather crazies. 

   I wanted to use this old stamp I have of the chick in her spring hat (or maybe it's an Easter bonnet). I liked her  kookiness, and I liked how she contrasted but still seemed to work with this sheet of 8x8 paper. I did rub a bit of grey ink on the white base paper to start with, just to create a bit of depth. 

    Miss Chick was stamped, colored and fussy cut. I bordered my page with some pink flower metallic trim, and I added a few of those flowers to her hat. I thought this quote stamp (an oldie from Impression Obsession) worked perfectly with the images on this page, except maybe instead of King it should have said queen or princess. Grin.

   To bring spring into the house, I bought a jar of tulip bulbs at Costco a few weeks back. Right now they are blooming.  I have them on the windowsill, and if you look carefully you can see all the snow we still had/have each day when I took the photos...although it is melting.

   These tulips are so lovely that I wish I had several jars of bulbs around the house. Grin. But it's great having any color and any signs of spring at this time of year.

  That's all for me. Have a super rest of your day.
