The theme for this challenge came to me while working in my garden.

Here in the United States we are coming into spring,
the season when nature comes forth with new life.

Soft green grasses grow in the fields and the trees bloom in glorious
colors with the promise of fruit.

Tulips and daffodils emerge from the soil after a long winters nap.

The colors of spring, the sights and sounds of nature at this time of the year renews my soul.

In the spring time the colors of nature are different around the world.

For my challenge this month I want you to

Color Your World

For this challenge create a project with the colors of spring time where you live.

Show us what colors renew your soul.

Laurie

Coloring my world this time of year is to capture the feeling of warm sunshine and colorful nature scenes around me. Here in Oregon my favorite season is Spring.

Shari

Laurie's challenge theme of Color Your World couldn't have come at a better time-- My world could use some color right about now!  With it being very early Spring, my outside world is still in its Winter dormancy and very drab and blah.  I jump-started Spring into early bloom for my brightly colored jumbo tag creation!

  Jan

Spring is my favourite time of year for colour. I love the blue sky, the fresh green leaves, the yellow flowers and the robin in my garden building a nest!

 Astrid

  I love Spring and Springtime colours and decided to make colour the main focus of my project. It's a large birthday card for a friend, as April in Scotland often only means a promise of Spring, that seemed like an apt sentiment.

 **************************************

Kerstin
 

I created a sayings calendar with a surprise in an envelope for a desk.
The title for this month is springtime feelings, my absolutely favourite time of the year.
I used my favourite colours - pastel in vintage look.

Ana

Magnolia flowers in pink-purple hues, yellow sun, clear blue sky and green grass...perfect inspiration to step out of my comfortable zone....

**************************************

Lys 

 Also blue sky, sun and new grass... April reminds me of  an "April girl" song: so here she is in my Art Journal!

 **************************************

Laura 

  Spring sky and grass - it had to be shades of green and blue for me!
.....with handmade flowers I was totally in my vintage shabby chic comfort zone!

 **************************************
 

Trish

Spring is a very colourful time for me, I love the green of the new shoots, the blue of a sunny spring sky, the fabulous flower colours of red tulips and purple crocuses (to name just two!) I have incorporated all these colours into my quirky bird assemblage....

 

 **************************************

Julia

I've chosen to use the beautiful yellow, orange and green colours of many spring flowers such as the daffodil and the crocus.

  **************************************

Candice 

A tropical spring in my part of the world means a bursting of rich and vibrant tones, so for me it had to be the rich and vibrant sequins that colour my world in this shaker card.
