What is that saying about March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb? Well, I'm starting to think that it applies to my life right now more so than the weather, LOL! So much to do and only so many hours in the day but it's all good... I just need to tame this lion. ;)
As I've mentioned before, creating, making cards, drawing and the like, keeps me sane when things get crazy and I always try to make some time in my day for that. So when I got a chance to sit and relax for a bit I pulled my inspiration from this week's Cupcake Inspiration challenge which is all about the sweet, sweet strawberries and I knew the exact paper I wanted to use. :)
So I dug through my bag of pink paper scraps and found this perfect Doodlebug pattern and went from there. I pulled all my colors that I used to color in the Gorjuss Girl image from the paper and when I needed something for her to sit on I pulled out the coordinating Doodlebug sticker sheet and that gave me the 'Ah-Ha' moment of how to finish off the card. When I saw she was going to be small enough to sit on an overturned basket of berries you just know I had to add some wings... I mean, no brainer right? ;)
All in all this was quick and fun and a nice break from the routine of my day... hey, I can't ask for more than that. :)
Alrighty, I hope you all have a berry sweet day!
