I looked at the photos in my phone and saw last year’s springtime memories and realised I have not documented them in my journal! 

When I received my Horray for Spring kit , I just fell in love with the gorgeous spring colours.   The kit spoke positivity , new beginnings and new adventures.

I used the kit as inspiration for my journal page . 

Paper flowers 

Firstly , I made some paper flowers from old kit papers .  I choose pastel and string colours and I was spoilt for choice !  The challenge was which one do I like and chose to use. 

I also used an old floral die that I bought ages ago.    I just love being able to use anything in my arsenal to create something.  I delved into my Lollipop box of bits and bobs and found some flat backed pearls that I can use for the centres of the flowers. 

 

 

I created the  paper flowers buy gluing different combination of colour petals to make the flowers really quirky and unique.  

They turned out so cute !

I also cut out the leaves from two different colours of green to give it dimension.

Creating the Background 

The photograph that I was using had beautiful blue skies , and I really want to reflect this on my layout.   I used an acrylic paint and a brayer to spread the paint on to the paper. 

I really didn’t think which direction I will spread the paint across , and it gave this very lovely blue background that I really want .    As I used a brayer , the paint was spread thinly and you can still see the music print behind the colour which gave more character to the page. 

Whilst I am waiting for the paint to dry ,  I started working on the other elements of my page.  

The Photograph and other bits  and bobs

I wanted to create strips of photographs which I will place on each side of my journal page.  

So , I printed my photographs using my photo printer and made them all the same size. 

There are 2 papers in the kit that really spoke to me and used them  to back up my photograph and create the strip look I want.

The mint green floral paper was so beautiful so I used this to create the strip.   I also used the skinny wash tape and placed a bit on top of each photograph.  

 

The strips were further glued to another paper in the kit ( Crumpled paper look) .  The paper was again cut into two strips and punched the edges with a notebook edge look.  As the photographs are showing outdoor activities , I decided to use the leaf vine trim that was also included in the kit and glued them to each side of the photo strip.

 

At this point I realised that I need this to be a double page layout.  So I painted the other side of the page using the same paint and brayer technique.

Before putting the photo strips in place , I used the cut apart strips form the kit and used them to decorate the top and bottom of the pages.  

Next , I glued the photo strips on each side of my journal page.  I also  used a bit of the strip to use as a sort of tab on top of the photo strips. 

 

Finishing the Page

This is where the paper flowers that I have created comes into play .

I glued them on a couple of the photo corners and even added them on top of the vine leaf trim.  

I also glued some tissue paper flowers  in the middle of the page , but to be honest this did n to really give anything much to the page .   So , I ended up only gluing a few in the end. 

I then wrote my journaling in the middle of the page.  

To finish the page , I did a doodled border on the page and titles at the top of the strips.  

I also used some of the stickers to decorate the page.

I love how this turned out and I am so glad that I have now documented out springtime memories form last year .   I am so looking forward for Spring to finally come  – all the blue skies and warm weather !  

What are you looking forward for spring ?  Do you have a spring activity list ? 

I would really love to know , so please share them in the the Facebook group. 

Lots of crafty hugs …
