Hello and Happy Easter! It is time again for me to share my DT project for Anything But a Card Challenges. This month's challenge is to 'spring' into spring, and we would love to see your spring inspired creations!! Be sure to check out all of the other team members wonderful interpretations too!
After what seemed like a never ending winter, it was so nice to see the crocus and daffodils beginning to bloom this month. The robins have also decided that winter is over and have returned to eat all of the wonderful bugs who have also made their appearance known! All of this activity inspired me to make a new page in my quotes journal. I think the quote by Emily Dickenson is so appropriate for the change in seasons. Spring is full of hope and promise, and I wanted my page to reflect this. I used pastels for the background and then stamped the flowers and birds. I also added just a hint of stickles to mimic the frosty dew that is often seen in spring.
We have a spring tradition in my family. On Palm Sunday, we receive green palm leaves during our church service. For as long as I can remember, Palm Sunday meant folding and weaving these leaves into pyramids before they could dry and then placing them around the house as a reminder to celebrate Jesus. Grandma taught Mom, Mom taught me, and now I'm attempting to teach my girls. Here are our palms from this year...
