Wishing for Spring!


Spring time is one of my favorite times of the year. The snow is all gone, most of the time, the grass goes from brown to green and East comes. Along with Easter comes girls in beautiful dresses and little chicks. Everyone loves to be outside and breathing in all that fresh air and it's just cold enough to need just a scarf on your head to let the ears adjust to the crisp, fresh air. Children gathering chicks just means spring to me!

Tilda with Chicks is from the new Easter line of Magnolias that should be available shortly from Summer at Roses on Paper. I did her with the beautiful Porcelain pack and brads and some prima flowers and a touch of stickles. I adore this line of Magnolias so make sure you keep checking in. Summer will have a limited supply of them and you want to make sure you're ready for the glorious Easter holiday! I was trying how to present this cutie and I thought the sketch from Sketch Saturday was perfect! You guys rock over there and I love all the DT cards!


One thing that stays with me all year long is coffee and Lattebella is all dressed up in her new spring colors! Doesn't she just look fabulous? I love the mint greens and aquas in the paper pack Euphoria from Basic Grey. Gosh, I love their papers! The sketch is our first sketch at Stamping Bellalicious! Come on over and have a look around. We'd love to have you join us!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm off to babysit for a friend of mine. He's on his way to Iraq and I want to give him some time out with his wife before he goes. Be back to chat with you tomorrow!
