we’ve been soaking up the sunshine the past few days overhere in the bay and just lovin it!

it just so happens that our local challenge group’s theme for march is spring:)
we were either to create a 2 pater [always a stretch for me] or 10 cards.
since i just picked up the new AC Dear Lizzy line, i went with the 2 pager!
we were to use 3 papers from our stash [i used a creative imaginations flower sillouette, and the newly purchased AC...they technically were all in my stash when i started...LOL]
i had so much fun with this one. kept it simple, just focused on the journaling and super cuteness from these papers!
here’s what i came up with:

you two girls

Dsc 0002-23Dsc 0003-19

patterned papers: Dear Lizzy + American Crafts
Flower sillouette paper: Creative Imaginations
yellow meringue glimmer mist: Tattered Angels
