Before we begin, I want to wish my foodie friend Sally a very happy birthday today, even though she doesn't read my blog. I am taking her to Denny's for her free grand slam birthday breakfast.
Three wonderful blog challenges, one bit of art.
This spread is intended for Jo's (Let's Art Journal) theme Hello Springtime at Art Journal Journey, Try it on Tuesday's theme which is Say it with Flowers, and Moo-Mania and More's theme which is Colorful.
The sentiment:If I had a tulip for every time I think of you,
I would never leave this garden.
was sewn in place with my wonky sewing.
For this page, I found these tulips in a magazine. I adhered the page to 110 lb card stock after I sewed the sentiment in place.It was a delight to have you drop by today. Please also join me at Try it on Tuesday, Art Journal Journey, and Moo-Mania and More, too.

Happy Birthday Sally! Enjoy your breakfast. No free breakfasts here. The tulip fields in Holland are always wonderful to see, and not too far away to visit. Valerie
Happy Birthday to your friend, what a fab way to start a Birthday by having a special breakfast, the most important meal of the day. How beautiful that carpet of tulips is, what a lovely sight that would be to see. If my garden looked like this i'd spend every moment in it.
Enjoy your day with your friend Elizabeth. Hugs Tracey x
Ooh, you're scarily 'on trend' with your loose threads, Elisabeth, lol - this is wonderful. Tulips are very nearly my favourite flowers and I have several different colours and types in my garden pots at the moment. It would be so lovely to see whole fields full of them, each one so unique and so colourful. I like the 'take' on the usual flower quote, too - beautiful words to cheer anyone.
Enjoy your breakfast! It's a long time since I was in a Denny's - the last time was when I met up with Kristy of Time to Stamp, such a long time ago. Precious memories.
Thank you for sharing with us at Try it on Tuesday.

Another lovely page - I like the way you’ve sewn on the words. A great tribute to Spring.

Tulips are such bright flowers and lovely in such large fields. Spring!
Happy birthday to Sally. How lovely that you're taking her out to breakfast, enjoy the day :)
Love tulips and the tulip gardens of Holland.
Your page is so sweet and lovely since you are thinking of your friend.Love the tulips and the windmill. My sewing is horrible so i commend you in doing this
Wishing Sally a very happy birthday! I hope you had fun at Denny's too 😁. Such a lovely page, the quote is so romantic and is depicted perfectly with all those rows and rows of beautiful tulips. Thanks so much for joining in the fun at Try it on Tuesday and for inspiring us at Art Journal Journey again! J 😊 x
What a stunning page you created with that wonderful image Elizabeth! xx
This is a super idea with the tulips and words. I like the idea and picture of a tulip garden (although we don't have any tulips in ours). Your stitched words are very arty too with the stitching and dangling threads.
Thanks for your great comment this morning on my blog, Elizabeth. It was a lovely welcome back to Blogland, which I have been missing, although Real Life was (is) pretty good too.
Isn't it strange how our Real Life friends do not read our blog. A few of my friends do read it but others don't. Thank goodness for our blogging friends who understand the arty us.
A field of tulips, I have never seen such. Against the windmill just ties it all together. Excellent.
Happy birthday to Sally. Mine today, too. :)
Pretty page.
Stunning pics, love those tulips.x
Gorgeous page, love tulips and the dangly threads, very with it.
Hugs Wendy
I loved the windmills of Holland and tulips are a favorite.
Belated greetings to Sally!
Hope Sally had a nice birthday.
What a great page and beautiful tulips - if I had a view like that I would sit there all day enjoying it.
Not sure where this month has gone (seem to be saying that a lot this year) so, sorry I'm behind commenting (again) I'm trying to have a catch-up weekend to remedy that a little but not getting very far :)
Hope all well with you Elizabeth.
Have a lovely weekend...Gill x
Hope Sally had a great birthday.
What a lovely page and such beautiful tulips.
All the best Jan
What an absolutely lovely page and I'm sure you and Sally had great time! I am here for TIOT and need to add some huge apologies for not getting around to visiting - things slightly got on top of me last week!!! Hugs, Chrisx
