Today I'm once again joining Jo from Let's Art Journal who is our host this month at Art Journal Journey with her Hello Springtime theme. I'm also joining Moo-Mania and More with their Close to Nature theme.
It's Springtime in the desert. 
We are in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, where the saguaro cactus grows.
It's only natural our little TH doll is dressed to play the part of a western cowgirl as she welcomes spring in this beautiful area of the United States. 
It's obvious why and how I named this latest spread. 
For this entry, I began with a page from a magazine. I glued it to a letter sized sheet of 110 lb cardstock. I added the paper doll and a black bird to her hat. Finally, I added the computer generated sentiment, which I colored with water soluble crayons, the gift from my friend Cindy that just keeps on giving.I'm always happy when you visit. Please also join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey and Moo-Mania and More, too.

Another fantastic page! Your little paper doll looks so happy to be in the desert at springtime, she looks like she is going to go exploring 😁.

Great colors in this.
I am loving the B&W images against these brilliant springtime backgrounds - lovely! And you picked the perfect colour to accent your words.
Wow! Your found a great scene here for your little cow girl! Love it! Hugs, Chrisx
It's a joy to see springtime come, both in real life and in your art. Desert heat sounds attractive :)
Even the desert welcomes spring, Elizabeth! Wow! Great idea and a beautiful page! Kisses, my friend.

I really love your page and springtime in the desert sounds like a good destination when its so cold here.
The background scene you found looks awesome and I loved the TH doll with the bird perched on her hat.

This is terrific!!
that girl is perfect for this beautiful scene, and I would love to one day see this part of the US in person!
Oh yes she is ready and waiting as adventure awaits with her trusty friend the crow in toe... What a fabulous and fun page Elizabeth, the colours within those mountain pages are incredible.I too would love to see this part of the world.
Hugs for the day Tracey xx
How lovely was that to have a page of the desert that glowed like this one does. Perfect for showing us during the Spring challenge. I have often wondered what to do with this particular TH doll and now I know, I need a scene similar to this - she is perfect for the desert - and I love the addition to her hat!
Hugs, Neet xx
I really love this one, Elizabeth. The colors, the image, the scene. I like it very much.
This is an absolutely gorgeous springtime page! I love it!
