PBarnes Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 What's blooming in your yard, garden, or neighborhood right now? For those in the northern hemisphere, it would be spring flowers, for those in the southern hemisphere, it would be flowers of the fall variety. For May's layout contest, show us what's blooming in your next of the woods or show us photos of your favorite flowers. Remember, journaling is important. Please post your layouts in the May Monthly Layout Gallery before May 31st at midnight Mountain Time and you could one of the two people who will win a $10 gift certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique!

Cabalistic Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hmm I have a few favorite flowers, but they don't grow anywhere near here. I may have to look into some stock photos for this one. Perfect opportunity to use some of my new goodies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princessrunningfingers Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 All the pounding rain we have had has decimated our roses, although new buds are on the way. I'm just glad I took some photos before all the rain started. My lilies are about to bloom, so I should be able to get some photos of them.

PBarnes Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 I'm sure the crazy weather all over the U.S. has made an dent in the spring blooms. The photos don't HAVE to be from this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-M Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Just the other day my sweet husband picked a few marigolds from the vegie garden and had them in a vase when I came home from shopping - waiting on the table for me to see ( isn't he sweet? )... so being the scrapper I am, of course I took a photo so now to scrap that photo for this challenge.
