Springtime!

Hello all and hope that you've all had a good week?  I can't believe it's Friday already - although it's an extra nice Friday here as school breaks up for 2 weeks today so that means son and I get a break!  Although I'm working an extra couple of days next week, I'll definitely feel as though I have a bit more time to do other jobs (and hopefully fit in a bit of crafting time!).

And as it's Friday it's time for a new challenge over at CraftyCatz - hosted this week by our lovely Janette who has picked the challenge theme of 'Springtime'.  So that could be anything that reminds you of spring - flowers, colours, etc.  We're sponsored by CraftyRibbons and Bugaboo and I've used a Bugaboo image on my card


Definitely bold colours for me too!  I've coloured the image with Graphit pens
The backing papers are from First Edition, I've used Tonic punches for the border and flowers and a Marianne die cut swirl.
The ribbon is from stash and the sentiment tags are from LOTV.


I'm a bit concerned that it looks too 'busy' but at least it's bright and cheery lol! 
So do have a look at the fabulous Springtime inspiration from the DT at CraftyCatz and then join in the challenge. 
Back soon,
Kim x

  18. Lovely card, there are so many tiny and adorable elements here! Great coloring, I'm still afraid of using a non-person stamps. I am sorry for visiting you so late, I'm overworked a little.
    Have a nice week!
