April love - journal and calendar pages!

Happy Easter to all of you!

As most of you know - I love Paris, I love flowers and I love my husband and my calendar journal spread for this month connects all three! 

We are going to visit Paris this month and will be away for his birthday! I have also used some Carabelle Studio stamps by one of my favourite stamp designers - Azoline who lives in Paris and I think loves flowers as much as I do!

Here is a pic of my March spread - not quite filled in as I won't be near my computer on the 1st!

As its Easter Day I also have an Easter journal page for you!

Alison has a great theme for this month at Art Journal Journey - Collage or Recycle.
I have used a magazine image that has been in my scraps for a while now. I used some paper that has been lining a box I use for spray inking - whenever I change it I tear off any bits that look interesting. The tape at the bottom is like an image transfer from a plastic lid that I use as paint palette - it worked great on some blue and metallic paint that had dried on it.

The background also uses some paint that hadn't quite been used up so I spread it on my page with a baby wipe and added a bit of random music stamping.
The stamps are Paper Artsy Elena Zinski ones - I coloured the circles gold and added a little bit of doodling too!

Finally I added the quote which is part of a quote from an old Paper Artsy Squiggle Ink set that I 'found' while reorganising my stamps!

I wish everyone a Happy Easter, a day to be celebrated for sure!

Thanks for looking, Chris
