It’s Already May!!!

The months seem to whizzzzz by and I can hardly believe it’s May and Spring!!! I grew up in Michigan so I think of May as the beginning of Spring – especially in Northern Michigan. I now live in Northern Virginia and Spring begins in April. My daffodils have been gone for a while and the azaleas are in full bloom. The first Spring after we had moved into our house I was outside walking Quigley, our long-coat Chihuahua, and was thrilled to see several clusters of daffodils blooming along the side of our home. I grabbed my camera and took some photos to send my Sis in Northern Michigan. I wanted her to see a bit of where I was living and rub it in that I had gorgeous flowers while she was still in snow drifts! I never did send them – but I did finally do a LO of them! For this LO I used a kit named Monochromemagic by cjs scr.apbooking with attitude.

May – is for MOTHER’S DAY – time to create LOs of our Moms, Grandmas and even Great-Grandmothers. One of the April Challenges at Digital Scrap Garden (Cottage Gardening with Jacque) was to combine, or blend, a photo and paper together. I’ve done background blending and love the effect so I had to get in on the challenge. I guess I was already thinking of my Mom, and missing her, when I ran across this photo of her with her Mom and my Dad. I started playing with the photo and a couple of kits that I had just picked up and came up with this LO. Digiscrapping can be therapeutic for me. When I am caught up in memories that I don’t want to loose it helps to scrap them. I’m sure I’ll be scrapping more of her this month.

I did the title and decided to repeat it behind the photo – looky there I did WordArt!! That was fun. For this LO I used pieces from several kits inthe $1 Store in the Digital Scrap Garden $1 Shoppe: Daydream by HorseDreamDesigns; Summer Dayz by Karen Wallace and Summer Fair by On My Own Designs– check out these and the other great kits you’ll find in the shoppe.

Well – enough for another day. I better not make my posts too long or I’ll run out of stuff to write about in less than a month!! LOL!

Hope you are having a wonderful day – be sure to laugh a little!
