Kaisercraft is having a DESIGN TEAM call, so I decide to join in all the fun going on! I wanted to do some fun whimsical spring projects because the last couple of weeks I have been working on a lot of fall and Christmas projects and articles ALREADY and I really needed some SPRING!!!

With this layout , 'CHALKY' I had an awesome time cutting out designs from the paper and using foam adhesives to add dimension. I gently brushed a bit of acrylic paint on my cardboard letters to give them a 'chalky' appearance. Fun Stuff!
![Angel Angel](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVebfSIL_Ch3fMFua_346ox1GXdtXOK9sDl3jeR_ZogfdBHrKeXIMZZj9Mk3Z0SelPGTCcbi7ZJlSfDN5k1v3ubnNU7QdBttV9x8B5XOxkqc9CipMUCeNB0qWXxso-YxUwbChH9O6cx5A/?imgmax=800)
When is Springtime ever complete without polka dots? I had so much fun combining all kinds of polka dots on my layout 'Angel'. Oh, and don't forget the fabric covered buttons in a polka dot pattern.
And an 'Angel' layout would not be complete without a pair of wings and a matching halo. The halo is a little rough…but I really don't mind at all. Jessica, my daughter who is in the picture, cut the halo out for me and I thought it fit just perfectly!

I love to dress up in frilly things in the Spring so my wrist corsage fits in just perfectly. I cut a circle out of some double sided adhesive. After gathering sheer ribbon on it I punched a hole in the center and pushed a fabric covered button through. I then threaded some rick rack through the button and wrapped it around my wrist. SO EASY & FAST to make! I could also use this to decorate a wreath, card or scrapbook page! Awesome!!!
It is time to bring out the flowers! That means I can and will decorate everything with flowers now including this wooden box that was painted and distressed, then decorated. Now this trinket box is already to give away as a gift on Mother's Day!

Hmmmm……. Birdies, Card making, and springtime just seem to go together.
After cutting out an image from one of Kaisercrafts beautiful scrapbooking papers, I had fun distressing, and then sealing the card with an acrylic sealer.

If you know me, you know that I love to alter things! I am always looking at things and imaging what it would look like after a 'make over' . The other day while brushing my teeth, I was imagining how I could alter my tooth brush….you never know, It could look awesome!
Well, I had fun altering up a note book for the season!
It was an awesome way to use up my ribbon scraps too!

Spring time equals birds houses too!
I get excited every spring when I can open the windows finally and hear the returning birds as they make their new nests in our bird houses in the back yard. ![floral birdhouse2 floral birdhouse2](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij8J-Ye-ZpcX2-w6bMuiidSa8RyYw_FbXH588PM4GHeLe614tMkL6dfg5oTMiiaU1h2AKjb1slw4pXOUm2q0R033SZVhuuQI6AoijbmaW2lQXQMaPIn7D8L5Yx-OcC6VGDL-z7RIWMnSI/?imgmax=800)
As you can see where I placed this birdhouse to photograph, on top of an old mason jar lid, it really is not that big. I love making birdie houses of all sizes!
To decorate the roof of the house I used a strong adhesive and some wonderful BLING!

A fun postcard with a ice cream theme….oh yeah!!!! It looks like I used flocking, but I actually used the 'dust' that was left after I sanded the edges of cardstock. It is a wonderful form of recycling and it looks really neat!
Oh, I love Spring!!!! Now, Lets hope it stays for awhile!
Have fun creating!
