I’ve been racking my brain for the last couple of days trying to think of a nice story to go with this art journal page. I have plenty of undefined ideas to choose from, but my head has been foggy lately and what I really want to scream say is this…
ENOUGH OF WINTER ALREADY!!!!
I want spring.
I want outdoor play.
I want picnics and laughter and spontaneous meet ups with friends.
I want clear blue skies, tweeting birds and cool glasses of wine on the deck outside my studio.
Yep, that’s what I want.

This page was inspired by a lesson by Tam for Lifebook 2013. It was made using several layers of water soluble crayons, gesso and oil pastels on a stamped gessod background. Photos were added to make it more personal.
What fun! I love this…and your purple hair is fantastic!
Thanks Janet! It was such a fun page to make!
Absolutely gorgeous Carin… love everything about this page… the yummy texture… the bike and cart… and the happy photos… what a beautiful page… and yes love Spring… my fave season for sure….

Thanks Jenny! It’s my favourite season too. But this winter has dragged on.
Wow, this really is incredible! I want that too. And I’m so glad you went with purple hair, even though I voted for pink. Pink might have made you look like a Doodlebop. http://www.doodlebops.com
Had never heard of doodlbop before, but now I’m definitely glad I went with the purple!
I want what you want, Carin! Especially the tweeting birds. Love your art – that basket would be filled with books. 😉

Maybe I’m just on my way to the library to pick some up 😉
Hooray to that! Hopefully your jolly, bright, cheerful picture will help usher in the Spring we all so desperately need!
Spring’s here, but kind of blustery, eh?!
OH I love the pice. A very dear find of mine also does art journaling, she blog at chelseaartdesigns.blogspot.com. I wish I had this type of talent :0) I found you via BritMums expat group and I’m now a follower. I look foward to your posts. Happy Easter!
Thank you! I have visited your friend’s blog before. She makes lovely stuff!
I love this. It’s so sweet! I’m kind of regretting not doing her class. I really wanted to but just wasn’t sure I’d have the time but I’ve seen so many wonderful things and it would have been fun!
I’ve only looked at a couple of lessons so far, but they’re good because you can download to your computer and do at your own pace.
Lovely colors – and I agree; snow be GONE! 🙂
YES!
It’s Perfect!!! LOVE the colors (you went with purple 🙂 and LOVE the sentiments. Bring on Spring . . . xoxo
Yes, purple was the best choice! xoxo
Ooh, speaking of yummy texture… very nice!! And I love your purple hair! Such a great piece.
Thanks for the warm welcome back, Carin! I’m glad to be back. I hope you get some warm weather soon.
xoxoE
It’s so nice to see you back Esther, I’ve missed you around the blogosphere.
Thank you friend! And I know what you mean, I could not wait to art again once Kendra got back to school. Can’t wait to see what you come up with, xoxo

I’m so with you on this! I had to escape to California to get some spring sun. Hopefully spring is just around the corner…
Nice escape!
This is so cute and I SO know what you’re screaming, I mean, “saying.” 🙂 The weather here has been such a tease lately! Come on, spring!
Hello outstanding website! Does running a blog like this take a great deal
of work? I have absolutely no expertise in coding but I had been hoping to start my own blog in the
near future. Anyway, should you have any suggestions or
tips for new blog owners please share. I know this is off
topic nevertheless I simply needed to ask. Thanks a lot!
