Calendar challenge : March/April

We seem to be having a bit of an indian summer here....this week anyway! Cooler nights but enjoying the sunshiney days. Making the most of them and hoping they last into Easter....
March's calendar began like this

and finished with a lot more to look at ;-) Click on any picture to see more detail.

Was fun to try out some of the things I've learned in the Letter Love class, but think I need to go back to complete the lessons and learn more techniques.
I've done a bit of a quick base for April - was thinking autumn feel but pretty for easter eggs.

I added another layer of spray in one of my fav golds - so here's a close-up of that so you can see the glisten.

Stamped the round spaces for journalling with purple staz-on ink thinking eggy shapes, and glitter for the foil. Come back in May to see how the page changes.

Happy April everyone

Creative Jumpstarts

You might remember that in January I talked about Creative Jumpstarts, and I created these tags inspired by Dina Wakley :

If you didn't subscribe, Dina has generously shared her Jumpstart video here - well worth checking out if you like anything inky/painty/papery...
And a few weeks ago, Finnabair shared hers - quite different from Dina's but also well worth a look. She creates amazing journals too.
And I should be doing my calendar challenge - hopefully tomorrow...in the meantime, Geninne has created her April Calendar : another beauty for your desktop.
Have a wonderfully creative week :-)

End of the lists

It's time for the last 2 of the 30 days of lists.

List 29 : Songs that make me want to dance

Base page 30

List 30 : To my future self

Found a cute butterfly card for the last list. Here's what I wrote inside:

I've found the 30 days of lists project inspiring, and also (to be honest) at times a pain because it really is quite a commitment to do it in the way I have done.
Here's how it started.

And this is the back cover.

Looking back, I'm glad I pushed through the "don't know if I can get this done" times, because I now have a snapshot of me and what I think in March 2012.

It is wonderful to have another completed journal to add to my pile :-)
