On the homefront, we've been spring cleaning, anyone who really knows me, knows I'm in a perpetual state of 'spring' cleaning.   I believe I would be truly happy in an empty house (except for my lovely family & crafting supplies, of course!)

As I was cleaning behind my dresser, I found some vinyl wall art I had forgotten about!  too fun!  So up it went!

I think I was originally saving it until we re-painted the walls, but I've thrown perfection out the door and decided to just enjoy the art now!

That's it for me today!  I'll be back tomorrow with a new company release, an Easter blog hop and a brand new color challenge!

I hope you have the opportunity to do something today that makes your heart happy!
Blessings!

It was a very sunny day when I was creating this card so I popped over to YouTube and found Dean Martin singing, "Baby, It's Cold Outside!"  haha    too fun!

Stamps:  Baby Bud Designs© (Oliver)

sentiment: CG

Papers: SU! cs, Cosmo Cricket dp

Ink: Copics

Other: foam snowflake, Stickles

isn't he a sweetheart?   This reminds me of the Campbell's Soup commercial where the snowman walks into the house and sits at the table.  Mom places a warm bowl of soup in front of him and as he eats, the snow melts away to a boy!  mmm... mmm... good!  haha

This little snowBud would certainly melt today, we're enjoying spring like temps.  Pop over to the BBD blog and check out all the fabulous DT inspiration with the new releases!   Baby Bud blog!

I have a mile long 'to-do' list today and I'm afraid crafting/blogging is not on it! :(   Don't ya hate when life gets in the way of crafting?!   lol   oh well, I plan to leave a trail of glitter wherever I go today so I can easily find my way back to my craft table!  haha


Have a sparkly day!
Blessings!

Happy Friday!

I have a darling little card to share today, then I'm off to enjoy the weekend!   The Steelers are playing this weekend and Big Ben is back in the game!  woot woot!

Stamps: Baby Bud Designs (Heidi)

Paper: SU! cs, Cosmo Cricket dp

Ink: Copics

Other: nesties, MS snowflake punch, MS pearls

Am Craft ribbon, CB emb folder.

I didn't have any copic or prisma markers to match this paper so I paper pieced her sweet little dress!  Did I mention how much I love these Baby Bud's curly hair!   BBD artist Mary Anne will soon be introducing a new Baby Bud, too fun!
