THE COLORS OF WILD! - personal freebie collection for March 2015

I am fascinated by THE COLORS OF WILD!  Even through the wintry weather - icy streets, a little snow, and lots of freezing rain - for the past week or so, Spring has been diligently painting Texas with THE COLORS OF WILD!  If you've been following my blog and my Projects by poki page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Projects-by-poki/682059665172738  
you know that I am a wildflower/nature photographer ... 

I am anxiously awaiting the full-color arrival of Spring.  We've seen some redbud trees just beginning, and soon they will become this:


Peach and pear trees have started to bloom, and will look like this soon


But the real COLOR that I wait so impatiently for each March is BLUE!  I love to watch Texas turn BLUE with our state flower lupinus texensis


In honor of the re-awakening of the colors of wild in Texas, my collection

THE COLORS OF WILD  Week 1


Each week during March, I will have a completed photo collage to share , along with all the personal elements that went into making the collage.  Collections include

completed collage (as seen in top left of preview above)
and all of my personal  components that made that collage

Scenic background paper (with my wildflower photo)


frame only
cluster only
extracted flowers - bluebonnet, Indian blanket (gaillardia) and sunflower
generic frame and clipping mask 

You can collect THE COLORS OF WILD WEEK 1
at

You can expect a collage kit each week on Wednesday!

Designer freebie 3.2.2015

Hopefully the coming of March will soon be followed by the coming of Spring ... I am so ready!  My salvation in winter is working with beautiful digital art with flowers, lots of flowers.  PattyB Scraps newest Mixology kit STRENGTH certainly gave me plenty of beautiful colors, and flowers to work with!  Brightened my days for sure.











My layout features a lovely vintage photo of my great grandparents, Otto and Katherine Mollenkopf, on their wedding day (my mom's father's parents - I knew my great grandmother who lived until 1959, but not my great grandfather who passed away long before I was born!)  The template is made by me, ps Scraps!


That beautiful porcelain frame from PattyB's kit made the perfect display for my vintage photo!  And, of course, I had to add loads of flowers!  Love it!
