Fellow taggers!!! and tagger followers….it's March and it's almost Spring! That's something to celebrate for sure and that is what I'm celebrating for my Year of Celebration. Looks like I'm making a set with a "month" heading for each tag. Have you ever seen the wonderful months of the year frames from – shoot I can't remember Exposures - that great online photo company from ages ago.*** Anyway…I start with a springy blue polka dot paper and some vintage wallpaper and a few ruffles and flourishes.
Then I added some tree branches and with some pink buds just waiting to bloom. Looking good but it needs more???
Hmmm…what could that be? Butterflies???

Maybe a big flower??? Words???
Wait a minute – someone is trying to tell me something…

Of course the perfect harbinger of spring…a bluebird!!! one for me….
and one for my partner Scrap for Joy.
I pieced these little blue (and green) birds from scraps and bits and pieces lying on my table. I hope spring comes to your town soon.
A lucky group of us are in this year long tag swap hosted by one of the most talented ladies you'll ever meet…Elizabeth at Bluebird Papercrafts. We are all chronicling our little artistic adventure on our Happy Homemaker website. Go visit right here. Thanks for stopping and I'll see you in April!

One and the same! I made one for your clothes line swap! Do you still have him? Did he fly to LA with you? Miss you! xoxo Nancy
ReplyDeleteSIGH! Nancy, You have perfectly captured Spring with your beautiful tag. Did you tell us where you got your wonderful month banners? I think they set off your tags perfectly. If you don't mind, I am advertising this month's tag along with your tag. It is just so special, and so are you! Elizabeth
