The letter of the fortnight over at The Craft Barn's Alpha Challenge is "D".For my special Day I wanted to do St David's Day, the patron saint of Wales as I grew up in Swansea, South Wales. But alas there was no David in my dictionary - sigh.
St David's Day is celebrated on 1st March each year and his emblem is the leek.
However, the flower of Wales is the Daffodil so thought I could do that for my definition. Two birds with one stone methinks.
I used up some patterned paper I have left from a giveaway on 12 months in view, and added some extra stencilling and glitter.

Gorgeous page, and great forcing of your chosen day for D, BJ!! Well done.
Beautiful page sweetie, I love your thinking with the definition, superb job. I'm loving the colours and gorgeous stenciling too, well done you.
Huge hugs x x x x
How lucky that you could tie in St David's with Daffodil! Another gorgeous page BJ, your book is going to be stunning my lovely. I didn't realise you were Welsh, another lovely Celt. xxx
What a great subject! We loved our visit to Wales, and I love the graphics on your card.

Visiting from the Cragt Barn - awesome page BJ - I love Daffodils :0)
A wonderful take on the letter D. Love all the details. I've still my thinking cap on.
Hi BJ - given your Welsh heritage what else could you have chosen? (Mr M hales from Baglan - small world!)Really liking the layers you've built up in your background - I think stencils/masks/templates are my favourite tool at the moment. Hugs MMx
I didn't think of daffodil, which is shameful because I am Welsh - and live in Swansea. Great project for letter D! xxx Keren
Me again. Thanks for visiting my blog. A Mumbles girl, eh? I can see Mumbles lighthouse from my living room window - I live close to Singleton Park, and Mayals is not far away at all. Small world! xxx Keren

Lovely page BJ great thinking to utilize Daffodil and tie it in with your Saints Day, I love St David's town in Wales and always visit the Cathedral there it is stunning, last time we were lucky to hear a choir practice...fabulous.
