Welcome to the Monthly Muse for April 2018!! WEEK 4 IS NOW HERE! For April I'm thinking of Birthdays and Numbers and Aging and all that fun stuff that I'll be making our MUSE for the month! Birthdays are always on my mind in the spring, since in my family we have a TON of April Birthdays, (including mine on the 30th). I know for many people birthdays are either really important & joyful or often ignored or sometimes stressful. I'm probably in the middle, (generally a downer about my own, lol!) Anyway! For April, I'll be breaking this MUSE topic a few ways this month & this week will be: A Life Well Lived In Week 1 we scraped about "The Age We Feel", Week 2 we "Thought About The Numbers", and Week 3 we "Partied", this week I want to focus on Aging itself in the sense of experiences. Living to the fullest and appreciating our days and finding beauty and growing up and just being lucky to be here, on this day, at this age, and not thinking it "old" or dreading the next year. This week is about your own timeline & not anyone else's. We put so much emphasis on AGE that sometimes it just gets in the way of embracing your own unique journey of things that happen in their own unique time. I have a few things for you to be inspired by: Remember, you may create any style of layout you wish, with or without photos. Create any size page you wish. This is for everyone! There are no restrictions, have fun and see where the inspiration takes you. If you want all 4 Muses on one page that's perfectly ok or you can make 4 separate pages!! My Page! ***COMING SOON*** Please post your layout to the Art Journaling Gallery HERE prior to April 30th and then post it in this thread by copying the code (at the right of your gallery image) from the box under "Share BB Code". We will draw a winner at the beginning of next month for a coupon!! You can use any products in The Lilypad store or retired products from current Lilypad designers, (just make sure you follow our gallery guidelines). If you have any questions, ask here! I hope you'll have fun with me this April!!!
Been watching the Monthly Muse from the sidelines this month, and finally decided to take a stab at this. Picked up Dawn's Light/Shade Spring Illustrations at the 50% Sale, and the ball started rolling from there. So here is my humorous look at my age ... Look forward to participating in future Monthly Muses! https://the-lilypad.com/forum/galleries/monthly-muse-4-gray-hares-and-wisdom.346990/
I wanted to pull out all the inspirational quotes about age. I loved the muted colors of Rebecca's Bree .hat complements my sketch of an old woman All very meaningful to me as I am celebrating my 70th this year - where did the time go? .
Thanks for the opportunity to scrap one of my favourite quotes - I've had a lot of fun this month, trying a new-to-me style!
Thank you for the wonderful Muse prompts!! This week, age kept avoiding me but timeline sunk in deep. My own is full of so many varied things. . .
