Spring Is Sprung - Funky Hand New Release and Blog Hop!

Anice has worked her magic again and there is a brand new download released this weekend over at Funky Hand! The download is called Spring Has Sprung and to celebrate some of the Design Team are having a blog hop!

If you have arrived at my blog from Anice then you are on the right track. If you get stuck just go back to Anice and she will list all the links. The letter you want to collect from me is

S

Keep it safe, leave me a comment and then once you've hopped round us all, leave a comment at the end with the unscrambled word. There is a download of Spring Has Sprung for the winner but you have another chance to win if you do the Facebook thing too!

This is a lovely fresh download and I've had a bit of a mad time with the pinky lilac papers as you can see! I get an urge every now and again to create a layout as I like the idea of using more space and not worrying about trying to get it all in an envelope at the end!

All the papers you see are from the download and I've used various dies plus chunky ribbon from my stash along with half pearls, seed beads (flower centres) and some vellum here and there. I've handwritten the sentiment onto an X Cut fancy rectangle die (oh how I am loving this new purchase!)

I've edged all the papers with a silver gel pen but its not shown up too well in the picture. Photo is of my two nieces - Niamh is two and Amy was 12 days old when the pic was taken by my Dad - when we saw her she did nothing but eat and sleep!

Don't forget to leave me a comment and your next stop is Kathy! The hop will stay active until 9am GMT Monday 26 March - happy hopping!

The Paper Girls: Layout Followed
Delicious Doodles: The Wonder of Life
Guylou's Inimitability: Monochromatic
