Hi everyone! How was your week? I hope it was a good one for you! My week went by in a flash, as weeks off work usually do, but it was a fun and productive week for me. I still have one more week until I start my new job so the hubs and I are going on a road trip to Palm Springs! It is about a nine hour drive from our house so we'll load up the car and head out early on Sunday morning. I can't wait to be warm and to relax and do nothing. This makes me happy…
Today's card is inspired by Palm Springs (at least in my own interpretation!) I always think Frank Sinatra, mid century vibe, lounging around the pool, cool furniture, bright colors, etc. So that's what got this card idea flowing. First I picked out a bright coral paper and then matched it with crisp white and turquoise! Lots of color coming your way right now! 🙂
That quatrefoil patter again….I love it! So graphic and crisp. The die cuts for the quatrefoil, the letters and the frame are all from Papertrey Ink (PTI) and the butterfly die is from Memory Box. The paper is from American Crafts' Tropical collection.
I added some turquoise blings to make it spark-alay!
Here are some other things that made me happy this week! On Wednesday I got to have a nice four hour lunch with my friend Jane and meet her new puppy. This picture makes me happy.
The tulips and daffodils are blooming in our front yard…this makes me happy….
A sweet orange kitty on my stamping table makes me happy….
I hope you have a marvelous weekend! Taylored Expressions Sneak Peeks start on Monday next week. Lots of goodies for you, including a stamp set that I designed! (YAY!) Hopefully I will get some cool photos to share next week too, of our road trip. Thank you for stopping by my blog and take care!

OMG…I so love this card! The colors and design layout are so pretty! You can’t go wrong with putting any kind of butterflies on it! Have a great time in Palm Springs! :o)
Very happy post indeed! Saw your card on Pinterest, thought it was gorgeous and had no idea it was yours! Isn’t it cool when someone loves your work enough to pin it? Lovely tulip photos…might have mentioned before that tulips are my favorite? LOVE your kitty photo too! We’re lucky people to live with and appreciate our feline friends! Have a wonderful weekend!

You are right, that card is so crisp and shouts “SPRING”. Love it! Your pictures are so good and they too shout “Happy Spring”.
