Spring is in the Air !

Happy Saturday .... I hope you have had a good week,  mine has been very relaxing for the most part as I have been on vacation....as you are reading this I in the  the Sand Dunes in Yuma for a weekend of fun in the sun and sand.  We have rented a toy hauler, loaded up all the toys and off we go !  Families that play together stay together and we play alot !

I have use "Tilda with Hawaii flower" you can get her on pre-order from Diana at Magnolia-licous. I will be entering this card into the Easter-Spring Extravaganza at Magnolia-licious Highlites category #1. I have used X-press It blending cardstock and she is colored with copics.   DP's are from Paper Studio and matting is Bazzill.  Nestabilities is "Labels 5".  I have added Stardust stickles to her for bling.  Flowers are from Boutique Fleur from Michaels, ribbon is from my stash.  I hope you have some time to join in our color challenge.  Thanks for coming by have a great weekend.
