Happy Spring to you all! Today I am celebrating the arrival of this beautiful season with a burst of pastels, flowers, and sentiments from Close To My Heart! I created today’s card using stamps, papers, and embellishments from my stash as I continue to “use things up”. Isn’t it amazing how fresh everything seems when you see things through new eyes?
Speaking of new and fresh… look who’s sporting a shiny new WOYWW button this week – thanks to Julia, our very generous hostess!
Have a fabulous WOYWW and I look forward to seeing What’s On Your Workspace This Week!

What a pretty card.
Thanks for playing along with the Use Your Stuff challenge this week.
I have plenty of scraps I need to use up to. it would help if my baby boy didn’t enjoy eating paper quite so much. Thanks for stopping by Twinkle in the Eye!
How cute is that wee doggie!
I love that card… the sentiment fits so perfectly with the design and colours… so so pretty.
Happy WOYWW!

Oh I wish it was spring here … we’ve just gone into autumn so I’ll have quite a wait.
I love the fresh colours on your card and as for that badge I hope my pooch doesn’t see it otherwise I’ll be in trouble.
Enjoyed my peek at your desk ~ thanks Neesie #37
I like how you used velum over your stamped images. Such a nice fun spring card.

Thanks! Remember when vellum was all the rage? I have SO much beautiful vellum just sitting here – really need to dig it out more often!
great looking card. It is definitely spring here…we got 4.5 inches of rain in the past couple days. I can’t complain though cause it has been warm while it has been raining. Hope you have a great week and thanks for sharing! Vickie #48

Love that doggie with its badge!!I am trying to think of something creative to do with mine too. Lovely Julia sent me one all the way here to Australia! Isn’t she sweet. maybe we could have a challenge and show where our badges end up, go etc. Hmmm(thinking, thinking).

Hi Sophie,
AH, I may have to change the name of that list next week – the list is actually not a list of things for ME to do – it’s a list of things that you, my friends and readers, may want to do after reading this post! 🙂
Have a fabulous day! 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous
Thanks for joining us for our Easter wishes challenge over at Oldie but a goodie this fortnight and good luck!

What a beautiful spring colored card. Vellum! Boy I haven’t seen that in use in forever–although I myself just cut out mini vellum envelopes earlier this week. The background piece makes me think of paint swatches, although I know that isn’t one. Great card! Fun ribbon! Happy WOYWW!

I’m so late this week, blame my dentist, but determined to visit you. Love your pretty card and doesn’t your WOYWW badge look good on your wee dog 🙂 Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Elizabeth x #73
Love your card and the colors are perfect for the spring season. Haven’t used vellum in a long time. You are inspiring me to drag out those vellum scraps I saw the other day.
Adorble way to showcase the beautiful button!
Love your card you made. Your stash is pretty impressive, Smile.
