    Welcome to the Monthly Muse for April 2018!!
    [​IMG]


    WEEK 1 IS HERE! I'll be posting April 4th, 11th, 18th, & 25th, aka every Wednesday this month!

    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 & the first will be:

    YOUNG AT HEART

    By this I mean I want you to embrace this muse & scrap the age you FEEL.

    I have a few quotes I find 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!

    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!!!

    Love that topic, Elisa. This is going to be fun.

    I just wanted to share a page I made quite some time ago that fits this week pretty well. But it doesn't count towards the Monthly Muse page, of course.

    The Sinatra song gave me inspiration for this page. I may be a senior citizen, but I still love fairy tales.

    Not too big on birthdays - and our family has them in the Fall- so it is great that you also opted in age as a topic!!:bk

    I used to say I was 5 at heart. Somehow it is now more like 7. Had fun trying to catch the exhuberance and sheer joy I was feeling at thinking about "my feel age."
