I get to share a peek of the "A Magical Spring" set with you today. It's loaded with Easter-y goodness and so much more!

Supplies: 
Cardstock: (white) Georgia Pacific, (Yellow) American Crafts, Patterned Paper: (Little Bo Peep 6x6 pad) Crate Paper, Stamps: (Bunny, Egg and sentiment from "A Magical Spring") Paper Smooches, Ink: (Tuxedo Black) Memento, (lavender, green, blue, yellow) ColorBox, White Gel Pen: Sakura, Markers: Copic, Dies: (Flag Tags, Duo Die One) Paper Smooches
Size: 4.25"x5.5"

Just when I think Kim's animals can't get any cuter she comes out with an image like this bunny. GAH! I just want to squeeze him! I also used the solid egg stamp to create my background and the super cute sentiment, both also from this set. Have you seen the new Paper Smooches dies? I used Flag Tags and Duo Die One here.

Well, that's it from me, you better scoot on over to Kalyn's blog if you wan't to see more!

Good Luck and have fun!
Heidi
