Happy Friday Everyone!! The weekend is here!! Woo hoo!! Today is going to be a beautiful warm spring...tomorrow is rain, rain and more rain and cold. I hope to enjoy the sunshine today.

Today I would like to share the new challenge at Wags n Whiskers hosted by the sweet and talented Angelique!! Angelique challenges us to create a card or project that is inspired by spring (it can be colors, flowers, outdoor animals...). We hope you can all join in!!

Wags n Whiskers challenges are every other week.

This will give you more time to be able to participate with our challenges.

One random participant will win a Wags 'n Whiskers Rubber stamp of your choice.

You can still use any stamp you would like, but if you use a Wags 'n Whiskers image, you will also be entered into a separate drawing for a free Wags 'n Whiskers Digital Stamp.

For my creation.....

I used Easter Blessings from Wags n Whiskers ( this is available as rubber or digi) illustrated by Crissy Armstrong which I colored with copics. Rather than make a card, I decided to make an Easter gift. The image is framed with a sparkly glittered circle punched with the Lacey Circles Spellbinders die. The image is mounted on a piece of Die Cuts with a View- Home stack paper. The bow is made with the bow easy and May Arts ribbon. The flowers are from ZVA Creative (I just love this blue!!!). Between the flowers is a Recollections Button.

For more inspiration for the challenge at Wags n Whiskers, please visit my dt sisters:

Tracy, Lacey, Karen, Jeanette, Vicky, Debbie, Mariska, , Angelique, Carolina, Nikki and Darlene
