SVG Attic Welcome Spring Collection ~ So Gorgeous!




Lisa from The Crafting Cave sharing a "Happy Mother's Day" set I made using 
This collection is so dversatile, I fell in love with it.

SVG Attic Welcome Spring Collection, spring, mother's day, birds

I used DCWV The Preppy Princess Stack for all the projects listed.
I'm planning on using the Birdhouse to hold a cupcake. I have plastic container
for cupcakes that fits perfectly inside. I cut everything out and then assembled. Of course, 
that's when my wheels start turning. The lattice around the bottom actually goes with the birdcage file and the bird is from the card file. I added a little moss, the flowers, and punched the birds around the top. I dabbed gold ink randomly on the birdhouse.

 As I worked on the birdhouse my brain was in overdrive. (I'm dangerous if I sit still too long!)
The watering can was next and I knew I would want to use it for fresh flowers. (I'm thinking I can 
use a clear cup to hold the flowers.) The file uses a very pretty flower on the sides of the watering can but I wanted to cover it butterflies since I'm using fresh flowers in it. Well, hello, perfect! The birdcage has a butterfly that perches on top of it. I just resized the butterfly file and cut multiples. 
I inked a few of the butterflies using distress inks and added pearls. I really wanted it to pop though. 
So gold and pink glittered butterflies did the trick.

I think the birdcage will make a beautiful centerpiece. Again, I used elements from other files, within this collection, to embellish the birdcage. I added glitter to the bird and let the polka dots on the leaves do the work for me. The flowers are from my stash. 

I have some other ideas for this collection. I'm positive I will be using it again!


I hope you have an amazing weekend!

The Sweet Life and Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #97



It's Monday and that means it's time for a new 
sketch over at 

Here's my take on the sketch.
I used Authentique's Abundance 12x12 paper, front and back, from
the Harmony Collection, die cut the butterfly out, added
the sentiment, twine and Queen & Co. bling. 
Leaving it blank inside gives me unlimited options for 
this card. Birthday, Hello, Congratulations, the list goes on. 


Here's the sketch.
  Now it's your turn to show us your take on

Seeing Three - Clear It Out Challenge #53 ~ Number Challenge


NUMBER CHALLENGE ~ USE 3 OF THE SAME THING
Today is the start of a new challenge over at 
This week we are seeing three's! 
Use three of the same thing on your project.
(ie. 3 images, 3 embellies, etc)
Three of the same thing is a fantastic way to 
get rid of that stash! You know it's time to 
let it go! I know, it's tough, but you can do it!

I had the pleasure of using Baby Bears Butterfly Digi 
over at Whimsy Stamps. 
I made a card using three different 
design papers by Martha Stewart, it's so old I don't 
remember the name of it! 
I punched three butterflies and three pennants.
I added three pearls to each butterfly.
