I have Daffodils on my mind and with a bright sunny day and a granddaughter entertaining herself in the cow pasture I took a minute to see what the sketch was at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog. My first thought was
“a bow?!” I am seriously bow challenged – love them, but can’t tie one to save my life (except on my sneakers).
With Miss B still outside I decided to go to work with this sketch…so the base spoke square to me (my new favorite size 4.5 X 4.5) Polka Dots? My brand new Brushed paper packet was sitting on my desk – hmmm, yep Polka Dot B&T. Now for the image? Since I’m thinking Daffodills, I guess A Little Note will fill that bill. I also grabbed some contraband ribbon and a button (Vicki at the Wizard’s Hangout has a great little tutorial on how to tie a bow). OK, with all my supplies prepared here’s what I came up with.
It just seems so cheery, now I need to get out my “Happy Mail” list and spread a little cheer. Would you like to be added to my Happy Mail List? Leave me a comment with your contact info and I’ll get you added.
Thanks for stopping by!

I knew I wanted it from the minute the Seasonal Expressions came out! It was hard waiting until the daffodils started springing up before using it.

Tracey this is lovely. I adore that stamp, it is one of my favorite. As far as the ribbon goes, I do not think anything that makes you happy to use, is contraband. I am a CTMH consultant, and I use it all, and love it all. It was the perfect accent for your work, so go for it !!!
