Spring Pop Up April art update!
I know you’ve heard me say it before but this time I think Spring is really here. For those of us on the East Coast I think we’ve finally past the point of the ‘pop up’ nor’easter and heading into full bloom. I’m going to bet my life on it because these this massive bug bite on my foot tells me so! Oh, how I can’t stand mosquitos in the Spring and Summer time. Anyways, let me know get sidetracked. Today is feature Friday time and since the new season began I have created a few new digital art designs using Canva. I really felt inspired to create inspirational designs this time around to help uplift and motivate. With this in mind, check out the latest additions to my “words to live by” collection in today’s Spring Pop up April art update.

April 30, 2018 at 3:16 pmI’m slowly learning how to use Canva, but I did purchase the full version because there were things I needed that weren’t available in the free version. Wonderful pieces of artwork!!

April 29, 2018 at 11:48 pmI love using Canva too. These are all wonderful quotes and we all need to be reminded to smile…there just aren’t enough smiles going around these days. I like using Wordswag for quick and easy quotes.

Oh I’ll have to google that. I haven’t heard of Wordswag before. Thanks for the tip!

April 29, 2018 at 5:58 pmVery lovely designs. With my profession, I use Adobe Creative Suite. But if I didn’t need them for my work, Canva would be a great, fun tool to play with.

I’ve heard great things with Adobe but haven’t used any of their creative/graphic programs, only Adobe Professional for Pdfs and such. Is there a free trial version?

April 28, 2018 at 6:32 amI tried Canva for the first time this week, so still getting to grips with it, but was pleased with what I created. I love all your designs but my favourite is ‘smile’ and the sunflower because when I see sunflowers, that’s what I do… smile ☺️
