Playing in Paradise #114 - Springtime Joy

Grab a coffee - this one's gonna get a little long!

This week at Playing in Paradise Linda is our hostess, and she wants us to create a project to celebrate Springtime Joy:

Since my tulips are about 6" out of the ground now, I can actually sort of believe that spring is on the way. I'm not putting away the snow gear yet, though! 

Supplies: paper from Little Yellow Bicycle; sentiment stamp from Gina K. Designs; Picked Raspberry distress ink; brads from stash - the butterflies & flowers are Making Memories.

Want to use a really pretty piece of designer paper that does it all for you? Jazz it up a little by adding some embellishments! I also cut the paper down to a smidge smaller than my card base, and used foam tape to adhere it for dimension. Flat & light enough for a single stamp!

The Playing in Paradise challenge is undergoing some changes - including its team. This challenge will be open for 2 weeks - until May 10th. To add your NEW project to the linky & see what the rest of  the team has created, click on over to the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog, and check out the DT on their blogs too:

This is my last post as a team member at Scrapbooker's Paradise, and it's bittersweet. All good things must come to an end, yada yada yada. The Paradise blog will always have a special place in my heart - the first time I was a guest designer (I thought I was going to burst of excitement!); my first design team position; my first little forays into tutorials (as limited as they are!). I will definitely be sticking around & coming to play in the new challenges when they begin. 

I thought I'd share a couple of my favourite posts with you - because hahaha, it's my blog, and I can do what I want! 

My first guest design post:

My first official DT post, March 2012:

Quite possibly one of my first sketch cards that I liked - 

My first mini-tutorial:

Well, if nothing else, I can tell that my photo editing skills have improved marginally. Thanks for having me, and I will definitely keep seeing you talented ladies around in blogland!
