Y for YEAR


Here's my next postcard for The Craft Barn's Alpha Dictionary Challenge where the letter is Y.   Really struggled with this one as there are few words to choose from.... in the end I've done YEAR.


I couldn't find any suitable stamps so I decided to cut up my 2016 Calendar - it's an RSPB one and as with all calendars it has small photos on the back to show the different months.  I've chosen the birds I liked the best and 3 of them have yellow on them!!   I've just hand-drawn a frame, added the Y Thicker and the dictionary definition.

Not very inspiring this time I'm afraid but I guess I am the same as everyone else - short of time and ideas!!   Thanks for visiting and for your comments.

  1. I think 'Year' was a great idea and I love that you chose all those lovely birds too. I cannot imagine what word I would have chosen for Y, so well done you! Anne xx

  2. I love how you picked up the yellow in the birds, as well as the months of the year. I think this was quite clever, and enjoyed your entry a lot. It looks like you put a great deal of time in it, even if you say you are short on time and ideas. At least we are almost there!

  3. It's a novel take on the word year. What a good idea to cut up your calendar and use the images on it.

  5. I think it's inspiring and cutting up your calendar is a great way to illustrate the word.

  8. The hints of yellow really lift the page and tie it all together. A lovely way to show a year x
