(Kelly) "Signs of Spring"

Good afternoon, everyone!! I really hope you all had a nice weekend, I sure did...the weather has been just gorgeous for the past few days, in the 70's...that's pretty unusual for March in Minnesota!! I really hope mother nature isn't just toying with us, only to send snow next week or something.. because if that is the case I just jumped the gun on doing a "spring" layout, lol!
I made this one for the awesome dual challenge going on over at The Paper Variety and ScrapFIT. TPV provided a wonderful sketch, and ScrapFIT's challenge is to do your journaling in a list style. I chose to title/journal about the signs of spring...which around here, mostly involves lots of mud, and dirty, melty snow. Lilah has definitely been enjoying every bit of it, especially jumping in the mud puddles and making a huge mess!!
I used Bo Bunny's Ambrosia collection, I've been staring at it for over a week now, and was unsure what to do with it. The colors are so gorgeous and rich and bold, but they are also kind of difficult. I think I pulled them together nicely on this one, so glad I just tackled it!
Thanks so much TPV and ScrapFIT for a wonderful challenge!
