Happy, sweet spring breezes...March is here...kite weather, grass-getting-green weather, thinking about baby chicks weather. March came in like a lamb here....with lots of beauty to look forward to.
We're having a quiet, busy, happy day today....my little one is busy making her OWN kite since she can't wait until we get to go out of town to buy one :) It will most definitely be a masterpiece...one her mommy won't be able to throw out, but will just add the enormous heap of creations to treasure and look back on. Honestly....I feel horrible when I throw anything of hers away....I need to gain some balance, but for now....I'm saving every scrap.
Just something fun and frilly today before we head out the door.
I used lots of Basic Grey Porcelain paper, chipboard, and rubons here along with Pink Paislee paper and Petal, Kaiserkraft gems, and my favorite Vintage Cream cardstock from Papertrey Ink along with Background Basics: Retro, and Birthday Basics stamp sets stamped in Dark Chocolate ink. Of course a little sprinkling of Martha Stewart Mica flakes and a tea-stained trim handmade flower.
Well...big loves today!
Enjoy March.

Such a pretty card. By the way, I too felt such guilt about throwing away my daughter's masterpieces but now that she's 7, it's getting easier to pick and choose. Still a little guilt but easier. But I figure that we are moms and it's our job to feel guilty. :)

Lovely card for sure. I love how you are able to pull all these elements together to make masterpiece.
I am with you on throwing the kids things away. But hubby loves throwing things away. It will be hard to throw things away when they start school. I am not looking forward to that.
