Happy Sunday to you ALL!!
Not sure f you remember but a few posts back I said I was making Sunday
my "ME" day...
meaning I can do whatever I want and not what needs/or should be done..!!
So far I have stuck to it...and today was very nice out, so worked out all day....
and these old bones are feeling every second of it!!
Being my "ME" day I also choose to join in a challenge I love to do each month.
That is the Crafty Secrets "Linky Party"....oh my goodness, Sandy sent me her
new Spring line of digital papers and they are gorgeous!!
I built my entire box with these papers in mind!!
And guess what...promise NOT to tell?? Good...I have NEVER used digital papers before!!
I just couldn't resit these...the vintage little seed packet on top of my box....
well it is an entire page of them...all different...love!!
The pretty lavender paper I used is also from her digital line!
I started my box with a small round paper mache box left over from previous
crafting years...I think I found about a dozen of them!!
The birdie...well he is a leftover, too!!
I used flowers (the Rose and the purple flowers) that had already been cut
and were hiding in my stash!! I colored them with PanPastels....the leaves
also came out of my stash....the ribbons...well, see the little bit of gingham
underneath?? It is all I had left, so I tied it on for a bit more contrast!!
I cut my little butterfly with a SU Sizzix die from the same CS digital paper!!
I think it turned out pretty darn cute!!
I also used a few Cheery Lynn Designs dies....
The sweet little doily comes in the center of the Polynesian Sails die....
the little flowers are from The Miniature Rose
and the Leaf the birdie is sitting on s from the Flourish Leaf Strip

This little trinket box is so pretty. I love the little bird and the bulb tag. :D
This is stunning. I love lavender so for me this is perfection. I commend your designated "me day". I have a similar thing called laid back Sunday which means I do what I want, you'll laugh at how today was spent...shovelling dirt/manure! I love to garden so I am doing that all day and not making dinner. Thanks so much for joining us at the April Linky Party.
Oh wow, Diane, this is absolutely stunning!! I love the beautiful scene you've created on top!! The bird is gorgeous, as are the flowers!! And the digital papers are fabulous!! You did a wonderful job with this my friend!! It's been in the mid 70's and sunny all weekend here...perfect spring weather :) Have a great evening :)

You Go Girl!!!
Oooh, I love to have a weekly "me" day, too! I only have three to choose from and I have to work extra hard on two of them, but it's worth it. Same as you, I worked outside today. It was sooooo gorgeous! And then I see this pretty little box -- I'm on Garden Cloud Nine! So pretty! The seed packet is adorable, and so nice to have several to choose from. I LOVE the birdie. This is what I really want to do -- decorate boxes up all 3D like this. I need some Gesso and I want to pick up some pretties like your bird. Isn't this fun? I love it, and you help inspire me!
This is totally Gorgeous, Diane....loving all the awesome details!!!
This is absolutely beautiful! I love all the shades of lavender and the beautiful digital flowers and papers. I'm so excited that you discovered that digital papers are so easy and fun to use. Your creation is pure eye candy! Thanks for playing along in the April Crafty Secrets Linky Party!
