Wrapping Up AJJ for April

   Hi everyone. Happy middle of the week to you. April is quickly wrapping up, isn't it? 

   Today I want to share my final page for Gilena's Trees Are Awesome, Aren't They? challenge over at Art Journal Journey. It was a fun challenge, and I still have lots of tree ideas I never got around to creating pages for. (Just saying, you may see a few more trees coming up in the future. 😉)

   Thank  you Gillena for hosting. I hope you had fun, and we'd love if you decided to join us again sometime. And thank you everyone who joined in with some really lovely trees.  It was a fun topic, wasn't it?


  Here's my final April page. The plaid paper background went over a page I attempted that was a disaster.  I thought the blue on the paper made it feel a bit like the sky. I stamped the green leaves using an AALL& Create leaf image.

   I feel like I cheated on the rest of the page because I used some fussy cut and some punched out images (mostly from 49 and Market) to finish.  Except for the quote which is stamped.

   And that's it for me today. Wishing everyone a great rest of April.

I really like this page--the colors are cheerful and vibrant and I love the way the words are peeking through in places behind the background. Enjoy your last couple days of April. Time keeps on zooming by.

I like that background. To me it screams Summer as in blue skies, picnics, the ocean. Only 52 days until the Summer Solstice
