First day of spring!

Happy Spring! It's slowly warming up here. We still have a lot of snow in our yard, but it's melting little by little. I've been creating up a storm for April, and I still have so much to do within the next week! Also have some surprises to share with you soon!

One thing I can share is this little card set that was created for the Dream Street blog! It was made with the new Heartsong papers by Alexis Hardy and they are so yummy and fun!

I used some Krafty Creations kraft cards from Worldwin for these card bases. They were already in this shape like a paper bag! Quick and very easy. I just applied the Heartsong rub ons to the kraft paper. Love how they look against the kraft!
For the upright card (XOXO) which was the same style as the small one, I just turned it up and down and sewed along the sides, creating a pocket card.
Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy the first day of spring!

Beautiful! I got my Simply Handmade book I won from you today in the mail! Thanks again! The very first page I opened up to was page 72 and fell in love with the Joy Gift Box and then I saw it was one of your designs! How neat is that that I opened it up to one of your masterpieces! Hugs from Conroe TX!
