A Little Bit of Spring
Daffodils are one of my favorite things to see. They look like a smiling sun, and I can't help but smile when I see them start to emerge each spring. To me, it's a sure sign that winter is past and it's time to look forward to being outside in the sunshine. The trees will grow leaves again to cover their bare, spiky arms. The grass will turn a deeper shade of green and the sound of lawn mowers begins to fill the morning air. Even the bunnies will be out to graze on our yard's bountiful clover patch that gets bigger every year.
This year we have been treated to an extra long daffodil season. They started to come up in February, and I worried that the weather might turn on them. Despite a dusting of snow, the daffodils kept right on growing and so did my hope for an early spring. They waited awhile to bloom, but bloom they did in a wave across the front beds. First, the ones by the drive bloomed, then along the front walk, right up to the door. They created a little path of spring joy to follow every day as we come and go, their cheery blooms waving in the wind as if to say "welcome back."
What's funny is that they are not my favorite flower. There are others that are more elaborate, more beautiful, or even smell divine. My love of daffodils is really more about what they represent as the herald of spring. Spring is not just a fresh start for nature, but it harbors a fresh start for all of us; a spring that is bringing with it all the promise of renewal from within, to put our best out for all to see. So while others may wait to smell the roses, I'll cherish spring's first flower and everything it represents.
- Julie
Favorite Product I've Designed:
I love the Strawberry Jubilee Collection because it is cheery and reminds me of relaxing outdoors. Even though strawberries aren't ready until summer, they are one of the fruits of the spring growing season.

East Coast High Noon Crop
Wednesday, May 9th - 10:00AM MDT
Join April (April Showers) each Wednesday at 10am MT for the East Coast High Noon Crop. All coasts and time zones are welcome! These crops are designed to allow you to work on your own photos and themes, simply giving participants a one hour goal and a fun, new challenge each week.
On May 9th, we'll do an "All About Me" Challenge! Create a layout focusing on you! You could choose to create a layout using childhood photos or you could make a list of your favorite things. Anything goes as long as YOU are the focus.
Create your layout and upload it to the special High Noon Crop Gallery. You'll be amazed what you can get done in just one hour, but there is no High Noon Sheriff timing you! Hope to see you in the chat room!
May's Forum Game: Boutique Alphabet Game!
The Boutique Alphabet Game is back! Do you remember playing the game "I am going on a _____ hunt and bringing..." where each player listed items starting with a specific letter? We are playing a similar game on the Scrap Girls Forum during the month of May. Each day except Sundays, a team member will post a new theme and starting letter in the game thread. Members then will search the Scrap Girls Boutique for a product that fits the theme and post it in the game thread. Entries are to follow the alphabet starting with the letter posted with the theme each day. Only one product per letter per round will be counted and products may not be used more than once. Collections and their individual parts count as one product. Time stamps will be used to determine credit in the case of duplicate letter or product posts. There is a limit of three game posts per person each day and another player must post before posting again. Member names will be added to a drawing based on the number of qualified product links posted in the thread.
Prizes will be awarded at the end of the month and winners will be announced in the June 9th Newsletter. Gift certificates will be awarded as follows: $15 SG Gift Certificate for first place, $10 SG Gift Certificate for second place and a $5 SG Gift Certificate for third place.
For complete details, visit the Monthly Forum Games folder on the Scrap Girls Forum.
May Monthly Layout Contest: May is a big month in the northern hemisphere for flowers. For this month's layout contest, we're going to give a little twist on the usual flower photos. We want you to try your hand at extreme close-ups. Be creative in point of view and angle. Even most point-and-shoot cameras have a close-up mode. Do the best you can with the equipment you have and scrap a layout with a photo or two – or three. Your submission will be judged on its merit as a layout, not necessarily the photography. Post your layouts in the May Monthly Layout Gallery before Midnight MDT on May 31st. Be sure to list your layout's product credits in the description or under the EXIF Properties. Two layouts will be selected to win a $10 Gift Certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique!
Club Concepts Layout Contest: Post your new layout using the current club selection (either the Scrap Girls Club or the ScrapSimple Club) in our Scrap Girls Club Members Gallery or the ScrapSimple Club Members' Gallery. Be sure to list all of the Scrap Girls products you used. If your layout is chosen, it will be showcased as a Club Concepts layout winner, and you will win a $5 Gift Certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique!
