It's been a while since I've attempted a MIM challenge.... but I had waaay too many scraps (and Melissa created just the cutest card) not to give this one a whirl!! Since there are no tree or sunshine-y dies in my possession, I just used a good old triangle punch and a PTI Floral Foliage die.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop-April 2014!

I'm joining in at Papertrey Ink's beautiful, COLOR-ful April 2014 Blog Hop challenge! So much embroidered loveliness, so little time!!

Hi all! Happy Spring and welcome to CTS #72 - a beautiful sketch by Julie Day!
