Hi everyone, if you have come here from the link from Art Journal Journey you will know that sadly, Eileen should have been hosting this month.
Erika and I are joint hosts for April for a theme chosen by Eileen - 'Inspired By'.
Eileen was always happy to share her art and aspects of her life, mostly posting these on T Stands for Tuesday.
My page was inspired by Eileen's calendar journals. She lived in Mexico where the weather was mostly sunny.
Eileen used to depict the weather with her suns (and occasional clouds) and I have tried to create the sunniest of pages in her honour.
Some are stencilled, some stamped and some drawn, copied from her journals.
I used an Aall and Create Frida stamp designed by Janet Klein and some Woodware Cacti stamps.
I hope you can be inspired by others, or maybe a book, film or music. Perhaps you will inspire us at Art Journal Journey with your choices!
Thanks for looking, Chris

What a fun and unique way to honor Eileen. It certainly has that Hispanic flair she always loved. She also always loved the sun and art. You have certainly captured her soul in this beauty, dear Chris. Thank you for starting us off right this month at Art Journal Journey with your tribute to Eileen.
A wonderful tribute to Eileen, Chris, love the Mexican elements! Hugs, Valerie
What a lovely sunny page, especially as it's very dull here with a chill wind. A great tribute to Eileen.
Hugs Wendy.
You've inspired me Chris with this piece. I just received the little Freida stamp and I want to play with it now. Great piece. Hugs-Erika
What a wonderful site to remember Eileen. Mexico and the sun that was Eileen and the wonderful background.
Thank you and wish you a nice day, hug Elke
Such a bright, colorful tribute to Eileen.
Lovely page, congrats hugs from Chile 😊👍
Such a beautiful page! Your Mexican design with the sunshine and happiness brings back such happy memories of Eileen's life in Mexico and is such a wonderful tribute to her - perfect 😀. I love that we can celebrate and remember Eileen this month by joining her chosen challenge theme, thanking you and the rest of the AJJ team for organising this! Happy April! Hugs, Jo x

So much warmth in this page, Eileen would have loved this so much Chris. Adding Frida and the cactus makes it such a happy and vibrant piece of art, fabulous design. HUgs TRacey xx

Chris, the background on this is so happy and fun and the design elements are so perfect for a tribute to Eileen. Love the energy and whimsey - something she would love as well. Very well done. Hugz
