February and March, 2026 Calendar Pages

  

As you can see, February has a great many hearts.  Lots of art for AJJ, too.

 

Here's a bit of detail.

 

Although it's no longer blank, this is what March looked like at the beginning of the month.   

 

I created this for Art Journal Journey (AJJ) for my dear friend Chris, this month's host.  She can be found at PearShapedCrafting. Chris's theme is Spring Forward.  Details are below.

 

  As you can see, all are stickers.  Sorry, some are not in focus.  

Thank you so very much for visiting today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring Forward.  

 

This is NOT the Cadbury bunny

 

Per Wikipedia:

Cadbury (formerly Cadbury's and Cadbury Schweppes) is a British multinational confectionery company owned by Mondelez International (spun off from Kraft Foods) since 2010. It is the second-largest confectionery brand in the world, after Mars.  Cadbury is internationally headquartered in Buckinghamshire, and operates in more than 50 countries worldwide. It is known for its Dairy Milk chocolate and the Creme Egg. 

Back in 1994, Cadbury made a hilarious commercial inviting other animals to try out for the job of Cadbury Bunny.  That is the theme of today's entry.  I'm once again at Art Journal Journey (AJJ) with a journal page for my dear friend Chris, this month's host, who can be found at PearShapedCrafting. Her theme is Spring Forward.  I give you this latest interpretation.

As you can see,

 

this is NOT the Cadbury Bunny.

 

I layered a portion of the bunny napkin left from before and added another beige napkin behind the bunny.  

 

I hope this link works.

 

 

 

 

   It worked in preview, but I couldn't find a way to make it smaller. Sadly, you only see a portion of the commercial made in 1994.  Thanks for stopping by today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring Forward.

 

New laptop Friday funnies

 

Last year I purchased a laptop.  It was off the shelf and came with Windows.  I gave it to a friend who promised to change it to Linux.  I got it back last night.  In honor of my new laptop, today's funnies are about computers.

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you found some of these funny.  I did. Thanks for dropping by today for a few smiles.

 

 

Cherry Blossoms

 

I'm having a terrible time trying to stay online.  I just had a new fiber optic line run by an ATT serviceman and it snapped again, most likely due to the 60 to 70 mph winds that we received late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.  Once again, my neighbor called and I am now back online.  This is the only time I wish I had a cell phone to go with my home phone that is tied to my computer.  I'm not complaining, just stating the facts.   Now lets make some art.

It's time for the cherry blossoms in Washington D.C. to put on their annual show.

 

I used a black Posca pen to write the words on the washi tape.

T Stands For Spring (mugs)

 

Let's head to The Spice Merchant in search of spring. 

Spring has sprung,

 

the flowers have riz,

 

I wonder where

 

the birdies is.

 

I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time. 

 

 

 

 

 

Flower Girl

 

It's hotter than hot here.  Yesterday (Saturday), the last time I checked, it was over 90 F (32.22 C) and we still hadn't reached the hottest part of the day.  We went from winter to summer and skipped spring altogether.  Thankfully I have AC, or I (and my electronics) would be melted.

Today I'm once again at Art Journal Journey (AJJ) with a journal page for my friend Chris, this month's host.  She can be found at PearShapedCrafting. Her theme is Spring Forward. 

It's obvious this is called "Flower Girl."  Details are below.

 

I began by fussy cutting the woman, a magazine image from my stash.  I adhered her slightly off center to a 5.5 X 8 inch (13.97 X 20.32 centimeter) sheet of 110 lb. cardstock.  I added the washi tape.  The tape on the right has three layers, the tape on the left, only one. Above the left washi tape, I wrote the words Flower Girl in black ink.  I then added flowers to her head and both shoulders.  I also adhered a butterfly with flowers.  Finally, I placed a stem of spring flowers in her mouth.  All flowers were see-through stickers I found in my stash.

Thank you beyond belief for visiting today. Bleubeard and I would be thrilled to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring Forward.
