In my spare time I've been busy with Art Journal Challenges.

My favorite is Mission Inspiration Facebook Challenge. Currently we get 8 prompts to make our page along with color suggestion and words/ideas for pages. This is a monthly challenge.

This is my take on the March Mission:

 I've also been doing Journal 52 facebook page . Every week we get a Journal prompt card with a word, ideas, etc. I started late so I only have half of them done.

This was the latest and the word was balance.

This one was Truth.

I'm having a lot of fun with these and they do help me grow in many ways.

March Month Challenge

Over at The Craft Barn we received the next Installment for the Twelve Month Challenge.  Every month we receive a line from the Sarah Coleridge poem Twelve Months and then we interpret it. This month it's:

March brings breezes loud and shrill
Stirs the dancing daffodil

The constraints are that we must have daffodils in our entry as well as a March Hare. ?????? 

Looked up the Hare and found some real disturbing pictures.

I don't have a stamp for either daffodil or hare so I preceded to draw and paint my own.

I decided to use the Disney March Hare and I have him holding a daffodil. The colors are much brighter in person, but we are experiencing a Blizzard right now so the light is actually horrible .

Until next time!

Tag

I made this little tag to enter into The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. 
 This week it's Tag you're it, where you have to make a tag or add one to your creation. They are also highlighting Ranger products so they invite you to use them although you don't have to.

I have a lot of Ranger products so this was a piece of cake. I already had a tag where I had started the background with distress inks and I filled it in with more ink through some stencils. Then I used some Ranger stamps by Dina Wakely and Tim Holtz. The focal point is a Silly Bird who is colored with distress inks. I layered him so he had more dimension. The saying is from Tim Holtz's Small Talk sticker pad. I used some yarn for the top of the yard.

A simple tag but fun!
