It doesn’t have to be a “people” house… why not a bird house, a dog house, a hamster house….think outside of the… people house!

It’s time for a FREEBIE and keeping with our weekly theme HOME here is an appropriate shaped card template for you! HINT: after you have cut out your template start your fold by meeting the bottoms together and working up with a bone folder or a ruler. If it over laps a little, no worries, just trim it. Enjoy!

After a weekend away from my family, I missed home. How appropriate seeing as though this week’s theme is ALL ABOUT HOME! Today, I am going to show you a simple project to liven up your home and think about spring, all at the same time!

To finish out our spring week I decided to give you a little challenge, but it’s easy peasy. I hope you will play along with us on this.
RECIPE CHALLENGE: Create a spring type layout of any size that includes the following items: ribbon, button, flower, birds, color pink, scalloped edge.
Here is my inspiration for you.

Link your Spring recipe challenge along with Monday’s challenge. After opening this link head to Mr. Linky at the bottom of the page or HERE.
Spring is certainly in the air here in the Pacific Northwest…we’ve had record warm weather and all our flowers are poking up through the ground and even some trees are blooming…..(I know everyone else that has snow…sorry about that)…
For our feature today I’m sharing with you this cute card made with the tree shaped card that you can find in the store here.

this card shape is a perfect way to celebrate the arrival of Spring!!!
I hope you’ll take our challenge this week…be sure to link up your project here if you do!
Happy crafting….Lynda
