A Journey ...

Hello everyone.  It's quite cold here and we have had frost warnings the last two nights.  My tulips are still holding on and are almost ready to open.  I love tulips and this is my first year trying to grow them here in a woods full of deer.  With a bit of luck I may be able to enjoy them after all!

Another sure sign of Spring is bicycles.  I've seen quite a few on warmer days riding through our neighborhood.  What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon, enjoying the warm weather and the beautiful scenery.  On today's project...I sprayed my seam binding with Smooch Spritz which is featured in the soon to be released Summer Mini Catalog along with this wonderful new stamp set called Pedaling Fast.  The Spritz (here I used Gold Glow) not only dyes the seam binding but also adds "stiffness" and that makes for some wonderful bows.  The papers are from our Tea Party collection.  The chipboard frame was covered with purple glitter from our Fine Cosmo assortment.  Our Butterfly punch added a winged friend and I created the pink flower with our Pretty In Pink taffeta ribbon plus a few seed beads.

Thanks for visiting and I hope it's warm where you are.  You can find other wonderful artistic creations using this layout at www.stamping411.blogspot.com.
