    And this is how I do a blog. I open up all the images in new tabs so I can see them better, then I go back and read the blog so I know what they’re talking about. As soon as I saw the card I wanted to use it for something! And I LOVE BIRDS! Argh! hehehe. Thanks May!

    Oh how I want to play. I broke my camera last night and I am so sickened by it. Count me in though,because even if I don’t get to upload mine- which with any luck I will have my camera fixed by then, I want to have fun with y’all.

    Ok, I took your challenge and here is what I did! I wanted to keep that clear look of the starbucks card while adding common elements so I decided to make a clear acrylic suncatcher for my window to welcome spring! I used alcohol inks to create a tie dye effect with the pink and green and then threw some stamping of flowers in to match. I added some bling and a circle with bling in the flower center using my crop-a-dile and jump rings. I finished it off with a bird in flight because I wanted to tie in that element from the journal as well.!

    Here’s my layout for the ‘Lovely Challenge’. Even though we don’t have Starbucks in Canada, I’m still inspired by it. lol My niece emailed me some pics yesterday of her daughers (my great nieces). This pic definately spoke to me & is perfect for this challenge. Love the pink, brown & green combo.

    I was truly inspired! Green, brown and a much subtler pink (but pink all the same). I wanted to do something different so I made a project using pressboard bay window shapes with perfect paper (with birds!) to meet the challenge. I’ll post more detailed pix in my blog if you want to see - http://leasanders.wordpress.com.

    I posted mine today in my Fiskateer gallery and on my blog (wildsmiles.blogspot.com). It’s not very springy here yet - icky brown/black melty snow. These are nice green pics from FL. The pink in the LO is my obnoxious pants :)
