springtime butterfly moo

seriously, the birds are singing louder and louder these days.  i do believe spring is finally showing its beautiful face.

i made this "moo," an approximately 1.2 x 2.8 inch creation in response to the "spring" challenge at moo mania and more challenge blog and to the "butterflies" challenge at the take a word challenge blog.

the images are all from the gecko galz "spring time jewels" collage sheet with background paper by lunagirl.  the clock is from a kaisercraft sticker sheet and there is a prima flower at bottom.

enjoy; love to all.

springtime

every day there are a few more hints that spring might really come to my pacific northwest home in the US.  the challenge prompt at tag tuesday this week is "springtime" and i have 2 tags with spring fairies to welcome this season.

all images and backgrounds by lunagirl.  in the springtime anything is possible and i look forward to new adventures!

blessed easter

here are some easter cards i've made in years past.  wishing you a blessed and happy one.

love to all.

eggs

spring, renewal, new life -- eggs.  "eggs" is the prompt at tag tuesday this week.  using a variety of images and background papers from lunagirl i created this tag.

i actually cut out the tiny eggs from the collage sheet to put them in the nest so i worked hard for this tag!  remember there is a "spring flowers and birds" challenge at lunagirl moonbeams challenge blog this month and you still have a  few days to link up for the chance to win a prize from the lunagirl store.

i live in the pacific northwest where spring teases us for many, many, many weeks before it really comes.  it could be awhile. nevertheless the crocuses and such are peeking out in the front yard so there is hope!

i'm linking this to the "spring equinox" theme at the take a word challenge this week, and to the "flora and fauna" challenge at the eclectic ellapu.

love to all.

bird on a pendant

i've got one last inspiration piece for you for the lunagirl moonbeams "spring flowers and birds" challenge this month.  another pendant:

this is a one inch pendant using a frame, glass and chain from a kit offered at altered pages. the bird image is from the "birds #2" collage sheet by lunagirl.

you are invited to link up to the challenge and you have until the end of the month.  you do not have to use lunagirl images to join the challenge but if you do your entry is counted twice!  giving you two delicious chances to win shopping credit at the lunagirl store! there are many bird theme collage sheets here.  and keep an eye on the lunagirl blog -- karen often offers freebies on the blog.

love to all.

march gecko galz inspiration -- a spring charm

for a last bit of inspiration with gecko galz this month i am sharing a spring charm.

the charm is a gypsy soul laser cut circle charm.  i used the zen garden paper pack by gecko galz and the spring dominoes collage sheet by gecko galz for the background and focal image on this ornament.

i cut and arranged the paper and image adhered them to the ornament base, covering with judikins diamond glaze afterwards.  i painted a bit of spring green pan pastels on the front and sides and then another layer of diamond glaze.

this could also be used as an ornament or even a pendant with a proper ribbon or chain to complete it.

i hope you enjoy!  the current challenge at the gecko galz blog is "shabby chic easter" and you have about a week to link up a themed creation using at least one item from gecko galz..  check out the gecko galz pinterest page for freebies you can use or go to my blog post of march 6 for a darling lamb digital freebie that you could use as well.
