Happy What’s On Your Workspace Wednesday, dear friends! Have you ever had one of those weeks where you went into your craft room to create something that would not only brighten someone else’s day, but in the process of creation, uplift your spirits as well?
That’s what was going through my mind as I created today’s Thank You Card!
I looked for papers, stamps, and colors that spoke of Spring’s beauty. I came across a baby blue safety pin and incorporated that into the design as well (better on the card than in Magellan’s mouth!) I stamped joyful blooming flowers on the front and back of the envelope.
I incorporated three color-coordinated embellishments into the center of the flowers as well!
Speaking of Magellan – who ate my kitten? That’s what I think every time I look at him! Do you know that he has almost tripled in size since we’ve had him? Check out his “then” and “now” work desk photos at this week’s Wordless Wednesday party!
Have a wonderful Easter weekend, and if you’ve created something fabulous you’d like to share – please join us at Inspire Me Monday!

I’m a little later visiting today cos I’ve been cleaning, sorting and tidying [again] ready to put our house on with another estate agent….got to get this house sold!!
I love your bright cheerful card and wow hasn’t your little cat grown….I guess that’s what they do 🙂

Best of luck to you Annie – I know how stressful selling a house can be!
Lovely card – you’ve definitely caught the colours of spring there. Magellan is fabulous! I always think it is a bit sad that they don’t stay kittens forever … but then I say much the same about my own children, and my grandchildren too … and I daresay I’ll be saying the same as my great-grandchildren grown bigger too!!! Wishing you too a wonderful Easter weekend. Elizabeth x #50

That card is just so sweet and with an injection of spring time colour that I am only dreaming of still….it is currently snowing while I write this. And that safety pin is completely cool.
