Put a little Spring into your Heartfelt Creations Wednesday Inspirations

Hi today I am going to put a little  Spring into my  Heartfelt Creation. We are trying to have a little snow storm where I live in Michigan, just 6 inches.  The weather was Spring like yesterday and snow today. This book with  Stargazer Lilies and  a beautiful butterfly makes me think of Spring.

I used  the newly released  Butterfly Medley PreCut Stamp  along with the Decorative Butterfly Die from the  Sunny Day Collection along with a few other of my favorite Heartfelt Creations PreCut  Stamps and Coordinating Dies.

 

 This book is about an 1 1/2" deep so you can hide something sweet in it, I chose to put a sentiment. The inside cover I used the  Decorative Butterfly Die to make a pocket. I cut a nice  square from the  Sunny Day Paper Collection and customized the lilies . This is a nice place to write something or stick a picture.

 Make sure to stop my the Heartfelt Creations  Blog to see what the designers have  showcased for you.
