Stamp Something - spring!

This week at Stamp Something we'd like to see your 'spring somethings'.  We're sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and the prize is a fab $20 gift certificate for one lucky winner.

Now, I'm not sure how I ended up making this card to be honest!  When I think of spring, I usually think of yellows and greens, that sort of thing.  But I was drawn to this paper, and considering my ailing mojo at the moment, I just went along with it!  I think it's probably a bit too plain as well.  Never mind...

I've used a cute Stampavie stamp that I bought AGES ago, used once then forgot.  It's coloured with promarkers with touches of sakura clear stardust pen (can't see in the pic).  The paper is MME, cardstock is coredinations.  The little tag sentiment is Craftwork Cards, button from my stash.  I've embossed the centre panel with a daisy embossing folder that was free with a magazine... but realised too late that I had it the wrong way so it's debossed instead - oops!  I was going to cut a new piece and do it again, but decided I quite liked it as it was.

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:

• Totally Papercrafts - cuddly & cute
• Creative Friday - embossing
• Cutie Sunday - spring
• Paper Sundaes - embossing
• Stamp With Fun - spring
• Passion For Promarkers - in the garden
• Paper Pretties - spring
• Cooking it up with Katie - animal, lots of colour, buttons (just one button, hope that's ok)

I've been all excited since yesterday evening - hubby finally got sick of my moaning and bought me a new desk.  Hurray!!!  I've been using such a small desk - it doesn't even fit my guillotine on properly, I have to store it on the floor when I'm not using it.  I've had my eye on a big corner desk from Ikea, but we couldn't really afford it.  Then last night hubby spotted the same desk on ebay not too far away from us and he bought it for me :o)  Slight problem though - he went to pick it up this aft and it wouldn't fit in his car!  So we still need to sort that out... hopefully I'll have a lovely new desk and lots of space to work on very soon!  Although that means I'll have to do lots of reorganising in the craft room to fit it in....
