Flowers are blooming, birds are singing...
Yes, it's Spring!!
Actually there have been some days here lately when it's been more like Summer!
I'm not complaining...but okay, I am a little.
I am not ready yet to start wearing summer clothes!
I have been busy this Spring, creating and swapping.
My partner was Mercedes, who makes such beautiful and feminine things,
and I wanted to make something I knew she would love,
using beautiful lace, vintage flowers and a vintage rhinestone button.
And, as the fates would have it,
we were on the same wavelength,
as Mercedes also had the idea to make a bird topiary!
I love the soft colors, vintagey materials,
and the adorable little felt birdie which she created from felt and vintage fabric:
Thank you Mercedes, I love it!
I joined a card and tag swap at
Wendy's Blissful Arts group,
and the theme was "Spring Nest".
This litttle fairy image is one of my faves,
and when I saw this Nest and Eggs graphic,
I knew what I wanted to do with it:
I stitched it onto a fabric piece and onto the card, with a few vintage flowers, lace and moss.
This nest is made with some fine kraft paper shred
which came in a gift basket I received long ago...attached to a
branch cut from a die that I've had for years
and I think this is the first timeI've used it, lol:
and I think this is the first timeI've used it, lol:
I like the fresh look this touch of moss lends to them:
They went to my partner Kimberly, whose work I love also.
In return Kimberly sent me these lovely cards and goodies:
Very sweet and Spring-y!
Thank you, Kimberly!

Lovely spring creations. Thank you for the beautiful images!
Love, love, love all your Easter projects Lorraine! I knew you and Mercedes would be fabulous partners but..... WOW!!!!
Happy Easter!
Such pretty creations, Lorraine! I love the peat pots. I love using them myself to create with. The birds, nests and eggs on the cards and tags are wonderful. I especially love that first image you shared with the nest and eggs. The vintage look of it will be perfect for a future project and I have saved it. Thank you for sharing!
Lovely creations, Lorraine. Thank you for the inspiration and for the freebies!
I really want to do a peat pot swap :)) yours are beautiful ! and your cards, darn I want to make beautiful cards like those ...
Happy Pink !
I adore your projects. So sweet and feminine. Gorgeous!
I love the topiary you created, very feminine indeed. And that nest in the first printable is adorable.

Lorraine - I'm agog and sighing at all your gorgeous here!!! I've been growing in my own mixed media for the past three years - largely due to participating in a Circle Journal that sent me to the moon with delight and so much I learned. I see I will have to spend some time diligently studying your inspiring site so I might grow more. Maybe someday I can run with the big dogs in Mixed Media Collage-ville!
Joy!
