Papertrey Ink March 2012 Blog Hop Challenge


 Welcome Spring!! 
That's what this inspiration photo says to me!! 
Papertrey Ink has challenged us to make a project based 
on the colours and/or design  from  this site.  It's a warm &
sunny image called "Sunshine in a Box".  How fun!!

                         

 Here's my card, using lots of these spring colours and goodies!
I think it could be called "Sunshine in a Basket" !!


I created a card using the colour scheme: Lemon Tart and Aqua Mist and
some of the patterns from the inspiration photo: polka dots and gingham.
