I love doing things "themed" with nature, especially in the Spring.
Little green shoots and buds have me all excited.
So when I was thinking about Debbie's Copy Cat Challenge,
I of course wanted it to be something that echoed the essence of Spring.
I keep this French Ribboned Message Board
on my computer desk with notes and photos and cards.
I had to edit it a little to make it photo-worthy,
then I added the little paper butterflies.
Just the right amount of Springy-ness.
My younger daughter loves to "embellish" and personalize her notes.
makes them more special...
Here is my inspiration,
Victoria Magazine, May 2001 cover.
Debbie's kicking off a week of Spring time fun.
Be sure and check out the other copy cats at the party.
