More challenges for April, this birthday month was very busy. The African Queen was created for the letter Q in the A to Z challenge. I love the colour blast of this page.

You know those photos of family when they decide to do something silly …. this is one of those times and I told this fellow “you know that’s going to be scrapped don’t you?” … It was a fun page to do, glad my boys can still want to play.

Easter Brat

Young woman and pretty lady were created for the stamp challenge. I combined two challenges again with young woman, using a kit supplied by Gabbi Designs.

Young Woman

Pretty lady is an aunt when she was young. The image is a portrait of her.

This photo was taken by my eldest son. The bright red of the anthuriums was perfect for this challenge.

Anthuriums

Lesson of the birds was a colour palette challenge, suggesting a vintage page. I chose to do a college.

mixed media collage

K is for Koala, created for the A to Z challenge
K - Koala

Energy … the Energy challenge once again and this time I use the reflection as well to create a page of solar power.

Energy

M is for Maya Angelou, one of my favourite poets. She will live forever in her words.

M . Maya Angelou

At Christmas the cat was sleeping on the dog’s bed and I decided it would make a great subject for March’s progressive scrap.

I was sure it said Meow

March was still full of blowing and snow and very very cold. What better way to keep warm than to work on digital art. Irish blessing for St. Patrick’s day. I added my recipe for Irish soda bread … yummy

Irish Blessing

This little pocket page was so much fun. I have had these photos of the bunny and ground hog who came out to graze at the same time and their reaction towards each other was hilarious. Now they have their story.

I is for Ireland, a perfect I word for March. This page was done for the A to Z challenge

I - Ireland

I love these images of Godey’s Ladies fashion plates and when I saw Jilbert Designs challenge this month I fell in love and thought the pages would fit a quilt with the ladies .. I was right.

Godey's Ladies

A reflection challenge this month and I thought of this photo I have of a dawn that was absolutely glorious at our old country place several years ago … love the reflection as it reminds me of frozen, ice covered snow.

Winter dawn

J is for Jazz …. all that jazz. Bob Fosse and Fred Astaire created a beautiful, sparkly era of glitz and music. This page celebrates both.

All that Jazz

Energy Lost was created for the word art challenge. When I saw this photo at the Morgue Files site I just had to turn the word around and use it. This old fellow sure has earned a good retirement. I hope he got it.

broken promises
I slipped this one in here … I created this piece in January just because, it’s not a challenge piece.

Valentine
A valentine for my valentine challenge. What would February be without a valentine.

E - Eastern Box Turtle
Turtles are my favourite animal, being a turtle myself. This was done for the A to Z year long challenge.

Calico
The journaling says it all for this little one. This was a scraplift challenge.

Spring
With heaps of snowbanks all around us spring was still just a whisper. Created for the variety challenge.

Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh is my favourite artist. This piece was done for the quote challenge.

When we were young
This piece was done for an ad challenge. We chose a vintage ad and used that as our scraplift.

Circus
This exciting, vivid page was created for the colour wheel challenge.

February was a busy month so I’ve split it up into two parts.
