Have you breathed in the colour of spring lately? This morning my most favorite smell greeted me bright and early as I stepped out onto my back porch....sagebrush and caramel colored earth...truly heavenly...the sky was sprinkled perfectly with puffy, cream storm clouds...pastel fruit blossoms were holding on tight as the spring breeze tried to tempt them to the ground.
Spring has many gifts.
I have a couple of fresh, spring gifts for you as well...this particular card was created for Emma's Paperie and is based on a sketch there.
Supplies can be found HERE on Emma's blog as well as the other designer's beautiful creations.
Lastly, this card was created for the Maya Road blog...I couldn't leave the intricate, metal lid behind...far too pretty.
And then of course...the butterfly...who can resist?
Supplies are waiting HERE for you.
It's time for bedtime stories...
Night.
