March Pals Blog Hop

Thank you for joining us for the March Pals Blog Hop! Today the Stampin' Pretty Pals are excited to share new ideas and projects to get you ready for spring.
You should have just left stop number 23 on the Pals Hop - Amy Williams at Stampin' on the Range. If so, you are in the right spot. If you get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.
I just love how Stampin' Up! is constantly providing wonderfully simple ways to decorate our homes and our lives...
My project today is a My Digital Studio download available for only $1.95 (Item #129889). I simply downloaded this template, printed it at home, and found a pretty frame to put it in! It doesn't get much easier than that!
I can't wait to display this in my home and bring in a touch of spring as winter makes it's retreat. But really, the colors are so cheerful, I think it could stay up year round!
I decided that this print would make a wonderful hostess or thank you gift so I added a few notecards in coordinating colors. One can never have too many note cards!
The notecards are simple 3 x 3 cards with a layer of cardstock in colors chosen to coordinate with the framed print. I added a layer of emobssed white cardstock and topped off with the flower image. I chose a flower image from the Button Buddies stamp set because it is sooo easy to punch out with the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch and then pop up with a Stampin' Dimensional for a bit of dimension. I couldn't resist (since the stamp set IS Button Buddies) adding a white button for a bit of jewelry. A tiny bit of cardstock threaded through the button holes provides a nice detail. Very simple but oh so cute!
I hope you have enjoyed my post today, simple and easy projects that you can do at home in an afternoon! And by the way...did you notice the Easter egg at the top of the post?? That's means I have blog candy to give away!!

Shannon, One of the reasons I love these blogs...besides the wonderful creative ideas I get...is that I usually find a new blog to add to my list of favorites to visit each day/week. I love your ideas and look forward to visiting your blog regularly.
Thanks for adding me to the list to win the blog candy.

Your art piece/wall decoration is very sweet - as are the little note cards...soft and pretty colors! TFS!
I love 3x3 cards and yours are cute, easy and great colors.
Wow! $1.95 for awesome home decor! What a deal. Thanks for offering such generous blog candy (crossing my fingers!)
Great cards! I love the button centers!!
Some of the photos didn't come out - probably my computer problems. But, the little mini cards came through and I love them! I make a lot of 3x3 cards but I do not think I have even used that certain stamp from the set and I love my Button Buddies set. I think I will have to make some of these in the bright springy colors - just because! Thanks for sharing - I will check back later to see if I can view the rest.
i to ordered this download just haven't printed it yet. it is one of my favorite quotes since i love gardening. thanks for the chance at blog candy...always fun.
I always appreciate the inspirational ideas on the blog hops, but this candy just makes it "sweeter". :D Thank you!!
