Spring Joy

I am really feeling for all of you living in the colder climates.  My Mom said it was 4 degrees at her house today.  Yikes!  I had a lovely day here in Las Vegas, and we experienced a sunny 72 degrees.  As a homeschooling Mom, I don't get a whole lot of time to myself.  But today, our son had sports at a park (not near our house); so my husband took him.  Then, they ran errands all day, and brought home dinner.  That means I DIDN'T HAVE TO COOK!  So......I got to spend the entire day ALONE scrapping, creating, taking it easy, and having a ME day.  I played with some of my sweet Crafty Secrets images to create a Spring card.  It just felt like such a perfect sunny day to create something springy.  I used Crafty Secrets' Feathered Friends digital collection to create my card.

I just LOVE Crafty Secrets and their sweet images.  It's fun and easy to use digital pictures on your cards and projects. You can still use all your regular supplies to give the card dimension and texture.  It makes your focal point easy to figure out and implement into your project.  Ultimately, I prefer to print these sweet images onto canvas, but I was all out of the sheets of canvas made to go through your computer printer.  So, I used an ivory linen paper instead.  The colors are just SO vibrant and lovely.  I added some patterned papers, burlap trim, natural jute, various colors of seam binding, and some paper flowers to accent this sweet image.

If you don't own any Crafty Secrets images yet, they do have some freebies on their blog.  You can pick up some sweet images and then play along in their current challenge.  It's a lot of fun, and you will be absolutely INSPIRED by their Design Teams' lovely samples.  Check it out!
