Bicycles

 

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

Today I have a double spread in my latest altered book.  Details are below.
 
 I hate my handwriting.  I know some of you do yours, too.  I used to have stunning handwriting, and was often complimented on it. Now it's barely readable.  The sentiment reads: "Spring is in the air.  Spring flowers are popping out of the warm soil."
 
I found these definitions in my stash and thought they went well with the page.
 
I have lots of napkins.  Many I received in swaps or as a hostess gift.  However, I have NEVER EVER seen a napkin that had different images on each corner.  Imagine my surprise when I found this.
 
Note how the flowers at the base of this corner are blue.
 
 I couldn't believe my good fortune when I took this napkin apart.  I didn't expect this! 
 
Pink flowers grace the base of this napkin.
 
The sentiment reads: "Butterflies flit about and I bring my bicycle out of the garage to take a trip around the neighborhood."
 
One final look at this spread I created in my newest altered book.  BTW, if you sent this napkin to me, or know who did, please let me know in the comments.
 
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Bleubeard and I would love to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Spring Forward
