Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Sue T. creates this spring card that will brighten up someone's day!  She creates her sunny background using the Sunscape stencil. She die cuts this using the Framework die. She then repeatedly stamps the sentiment from the Cottage Garden stamp in a pale pink.

Such a pretty way to brighten someone's day!

Becky Noelle creates this pop up box card that is loaded in spring fun! After creating her box, Becky hides Easter eggs in the grass layers she created using the Land Borders die set. Also hiding in the grass is an Easter basket full of goodies including a kitty with bunny ears from the Newton's Easter Basket stamp set. She adds the sentiment and a couple of more eggs on the front flap!  This is definitely an egg-stra special card!

Bobbi Lemanski creates a fabulous 3 1/4 x 8 inch CAS card!  She begins by repeatedly stamping the small flower image from the Loads of Bloom stamp set in black.  She colors  and die cuts the main image again from Loads of Bloom in bright springy colors. She adds lots of twine and finishes her card by adding black and white stripes to the two edges.  A fabulous card to celebrate spring!

Debbie Owens creates this bright, spring card with a lime-green gingham paper die cut using the Framework die set.  She then uses the Bold Blooms stencil to create yellow, orange, and pink flowers which cut into a circle.  Using the Frame & Flags die set, she creates a shortened banner with her punny sentiment. For the finale, she stamps this delightful bunny from the Bunny Hop stamp set.

Diane Morales' card is definitely making the world a better place. She creates her pretty background using pastel yellows and the Bold Blooms  stencil set.  She then colors this lovely girl on her bicycle from the Loads of Bloom stamp set.  Such a lovely card!
