If you have come here from Stacey's blog you are right on track. If you just happened on to the hop, you can start from the top and work your way through (see hop list below).
To me, Spring always means flowers. After a long winter with little colour around, I always love seeing my crocuses and tulips pushing through the dirt and coming to full bloom. Shortly thereafter, the cherry and magnolia tree come into bloom. "Pink snow" covers our street when the cherry blossoms fall off and it is so pretty! Oh how I love the signs of new life that burst forth in spring... happy sigh :)
I just had to use MME's new Cut and Paste papers again. This one in particulate is my favorite as it has flowers and polka dots. The flower is from Dream Big, the wonderful leaf image is from Bloom and Grow and has the matching Elegant Leaves die. Where there are flowers, there are usually butterflies (at least in my card making world LOL), so my Flutterby die came to good use once again. I finished things off with some blue seam binding from the Spring Fling ribbon collection.
