~ spring shower ~

Springcards1
Hello Nice People!!


(making a visit here automatically puts you in the nice-people category) ;o) 


Springcards2 


Are you having spring where you are? it's getting from summer-y to summer-est here where I am. and that means HOT. not nice at all.


So, I have need of fresh air sometimes... here it is in the form of spring cards. Sweet, light colors, like ice-cream or candy.

That big cabbage rose came from Frog Feather's etsy store, stirred up with a little tea-dye... (if you shop at Frog Feathers, let Christi know via convo that I sent you there and she'll give you a 15% discount)

We'd better prepare ahead of time for Mother's Day... cuz Moms are special! (nest&egg from CraftZany)

Another pretty cabbage rose.. non-tea-dyed this time. Trim the middle with a twist of jute loop fringe and a little rose, and you're good to go...

One more for Moms...

And I know there's way too many pictures in this post, but I have one more card... just one more.

 I found this cute grapevine wreath on etsy... you might like to look them up in other stores as the one I purchased from doesn't have anymore. That cute button and lace trim are from my friend Patty... I got a gift package from her today and after opening it up I used it right away :o) THANK YOU Patty!!!

Stamps today were from BasicGrey and PaperTrey Ink... scrunchy ribbons from MemrieMare ... with a whole lot of other goodies.


Thank you for being nice today :o)


I ~heart~ you all.......

    Oh, I think these are some of your finest, Viola!! Your froggy stuff adds so much lovely texture! And I love the little music notes stamped on the trim! The colors are refreshingly spring-y!!!

    All of your designs, with their beautiful paper layers and details--gorgeous flowers, ribbons, lace, stick pins, nest, wreath, wings, buttons, sparkle, and that flower with the burlap and twine so unique--all are simply divine! Each one, a delight to my senses! :)

    My, my, Vio, these are SO darling..... You need to teach me to shop better on etsy! I don't like birds (long story :P) but oh that grapevine nest - I can't say no to that. Wait, I can't say no to any of those cards, what have you done to me?! *laughs*
