Wheelie Like You



I wheelie like puns!


Throw in a cute critter and I'm sold~
 


(stamps:Lawn Fawn Wheelie Like You  dies:Lawn Fawn Wheelie Like you,My Favorite Things Cross-Stitch Ovals)


I went with the following inspiration photo~



http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2017/03/just-us-girls-386-photo-inspiration.html


focusing on lime and teal.

My "butterfly" was created by two strips of scrap paper die cut into a split oval.




Our spring break has been filled with dr appts and such.


We get to sleep in a wee bit~without completely ruining our schedule.


I'm appreciative of the extra crafty time!!!

Have a good one friends~

Papertrey March 2017 Blog Hop Challenge



I pulled teal, pink,purples and navy from the inspiration photo here.







Inlaid dies seemed the way to go.


Today is significantly warmer than it's been, and I can almost remember what flowers look like!!!

 Will I sneeze? Probably, but hey, gotta take the good with the bad right?


I say it's worth the flowers~
 

Blessings~

Happy Spring Coffee





Whenever I make a coffee card, I have one friend in mind.


She's the first person I knew to own a Keurig and her setup was divine!!!!

I haven't seen her in ages but this gives me an opportunity to send a "thinking of you" card.

Love the spring colors at the Throwdown~
