Warm Fuzzies

I am soooo ready for spring. I thought we were on our way. The robins and blue birds are back. Some of the trees are starting to bud. And then the temperatures dropped and *gasp* we even got a little bit more snow. I know, I know.... I should be used to it living in Wisconsin but what can I say? I was really hoping that winter was gone for awhile.

To remind myself that spring is right around the corner, I decided to make a card using some spring colors and this adorable caterpillar. I usually am not a big fan of caterpillars, but there is just something about this one that I love.





This little guy is no longer available in the Whimsy Store but you can find lots of other delightful rubber and digi stamps there.

I hope you have a wonderful week end. Thank you for stopping by.


Supplies:
  • Stamps: Warm Fuzzies from Bug Hugs Creations on Whimsy Stamps
  • Papers: Papertrey white & ripe avocado CS, My Mind's Eye Pretty Please papers
  • Inks: None
  • Tools: Big Shot, Spellbinders Lotus Border Petites, Big Scalloped Circles & Pose-Abilities Daisy Heads, Copic Markers
  • Embellishments: Hug Snug Seam Binding, misc felt (from Hobby Lobby), Memories Mist Merlot, Maya Mists pink mist

Cheryl...this card is SO cute!!! It's funny cause that's what my Mom tells me when I call her to "vent". She says, "I'm sorry you are having a bad day. It will be better tomorrow." I bet she's really trying to say, "Suck it up so I can hang up!" LOL
