Happy Spring!

I recently joined the Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo Group. Like many other online groups, they host various challenges.  The one I am playing along with is the Making Art! Challenge #6, or MAC #6. The challenge was to create something green and with leaves. This morphed into a 3/3 ATC swap as well. I am excited to be participating in another ATC swap. (I think I might be addicted!)

I have been battling round 18 of the crud... I might be exaggerating. But seriously, this flu season has hit our house pretty hard. There hasn't been a time yet this winter where someone isn't feverish, coughing or oozing gross snot. I created this ATC, Happy Spring, in hopes that I might possibly be able to will spring to arrive for real (we received 8 inches of snow yesterday!).

Special thanks to Kim Schofield of Eclectic Paperie for shipping my Wendy Vecchi stamp lightening fast so I could participate in this challenge/swap.  ~Awesome!~

Butterfly Kisses

Here is the tag I made for the Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013 - February challenge. I just wasn't feeling the love, so I deviated ever so slightly off the path with kisses. There is nothing sweeter than giving and receiving butterfly kisses.

I struggled with this tag and still am not that pleased with it. I had numerous trials and errors. Some tags all but make themselves, while others have to be coaxed along. I enjoyed using my new Grunge Butterfly stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs and the companion stamps and die.

 

Leave a comment for a chance to win the ATC below. I will draw one random winner on Monday, March 4.
