Hello Spring

Hello Chickaniddy fans! I'd like to share my first Twirly Girl project with you. The soft pastel color palette and pretty floral printed papers in this collection make it ideal for springtime crafts, don't you think? 

Supplies: Paper (TG140S04; TG140S06; TG140S07; TG140S12) Stickers (TG14EB02) Brads (TG14EB06) Enamel Hearts ( TG14EB07) Gold Foil Paper (CN14SP001)

The gold foil paper reminds me of the longer sun-shiny days of spring that I look forward to all winter! 

If you need a sentiment that's not included in the accents of a collection or you want to personalize a project, you can easily print whatever you like from your computer. 

First, I printed my sentiment on a blank piece of paper. Then I attached a piece of low-tack double stick tape to the item I wanted to print on. To make your tape low-tack, stick it to your clothing a few times. Then I held my printed paper up to a window so I could see the sentiment through my tag and place it exactly where I wanted it to re-print. Easy!

So many times, often a day or two after sitting with a project, I think of something I might change if I had to do it again. With this card, since the spacing of the word 'spring' looks a little awkward to me, I thought I could easily use the square Alpha Stickers (TG14EB01) instead. I like the look of a couple types of lettering for sentiments and titles. So which do you like best? 

Hello Spring!

Hi!

Is spring here yet? :) I love spring and often joke with my hubs that I should hibernate all winter until the longer, warmer days of spring entice me to wake! :)

Doodlebug's Hello Spring collection is perfect for spring projects like this card. Flowers, bright colors and birds...it has spring written all over it! And guess what? Hello Spring is 25% off at Two Peas in a Bucket! Just click on the collection name above to take you there.

Yep, spring is just around the corner! Have you noticed the increase of bird chirping in the mornings? It's their time of year too! ;)

Spring Dreams and Giveaway Winner

Hello!

I'm already dreaming of spring and it's not even winter or Christmas yet! Oh boy! It's my favorite season and when I miss it, I like to create something that reminds me of why I enjoy it so much.

These lovely papers and accents are from Pebbles' Sunnyside collection. I'm crazy about the dimensional butterflies and mini wood clothespins!

So, what's your favorite season? I know a lot of you really like fall and wish it would continue on a little longer. Are there any of you who like winter best? Or summer? Have you ever dreamed that your favorite season lasted all year long? Sometimes I do, but I really would miss the changing seasons and the beauty of each one.

Before I close, I'd like to announce the winner for yesterday's all occasion card set giveaway. Congratulations Lin from the Sending Hugs blog!

I hope you all have a lovely holiday weekend! I'll be back tomorrow with my scrapbook page for the new write. click. scrapbook. monthly gallery.
