Hi everyone, I'm so pleased to tell you that I am Guest Hosting at Art Journal Journey this month with the theme 'Spring Forward'.
I love Spring and today is the start of meteorological Spring. I still think of Spring as starting on 21st March so that's two days to celebrate, along with Mother's Day (UK)and Easter, May Day is also in Spring and I don't see why it can't feature in March. Best of all the clocks change and this is the reason for my title 'Spring Forward' I am so ready for some lighter nights and hopefully warmer days!
My first page is about looking forward to seeing one of my favourite Spring flowers - the Tulip.
I used a journal that I used to use years ago - came across it again in a big tidy and I'm loving using it. I stamped a Crafty Individuals tulip/text stamp randomly over the page added the Tulip image(GeckoGalz) and then the Paper Artsy quote from an Alison Bomber(Words and Pictures blog) Spring quotes set. The SPRING letters were a gift from a friend and I finished the page off with some wiggly outlining.As well as looking forward to seeing more Spring flowers and listening to birdsong I am looking forward to hubby's recovery from a broken leg, by the end of Spring he will hopefully be walking without support, at the moment he's not able to stand for long so that's where I'll be when I'm not here!
Thanks for looking, Chris

What a fabulous first entry, Chris. I love how you fussy cut the tulip and the large SPRING letters caught my eye the first thing. Even the background conveys spring. Thank you for hosting this month and giving us such a great first entry using your theme at AJJ.
Beautiful Chris-happy new week hugs
This is a great page to start the new month Chris. I love those tulips in the background. Seeing spring can be grey with rain it's perfect. And the big red tulips is very pretty. I'm looking forward to this month's theme because I am so ready for some spring.I hope you have a super start to new month. hugs-Erika
