Hello there
Hope all is really well with you. And yes, as you've probably guessed from the picture above, it's time for the unveiling of three more sheets for card-making, papercraft, scrapbooking and all similar tasks.
These ones feature bright spring daffodils (about which, much more below).
There's a main card front sheet, (which lets you make decoupage daffodil layers if you'd like) an insert sheet (plus bonus daffodil-related verses) and a background daffodil-vase patterned sheet. The sentiments and verses will work for any occasion from St David's Day on 1st March, to birthdays, Easter, and even anniversaries.
The story...
But in any event, thought you might like to know the story behind this design.
It started in the depths of winter a few week ago, when some friends (you know who you are, and thanks *so* much again) were kind enough to send me a surprise bouquet of flowers...
The flowers were so stunning (especially at this time of year) that I got rather more excited about taking pictures than worrying about the background :-) ... But am sure you get the idea.
The whole thing was so inspiring, in fact, that I also *finally* got around to painting an empty jar that had been hanging around, with yup, daffodil motifs...

(I'd never used acrylic paint pens before, and let me tell you, they were *fun* :-) ).
The next step was to fill that jar with tiny LED fairy lights.

The next project was the rough sketch that morphed into the "Daffodil Vase" pattern (eventually).

And then the motifs for the main designs of the sheets from the start of this post...

I guess I'm telling this story because so much joy came from that one bunch of flowers...Just as it can from any act of kindness, really.
Time to leave it there, and to wish you a lovely weekend when it comes.
Thanks so much for reading down this far, and more soon.
