Spring Cleaning? What's That?!

***Click HERE if you are hopping with Spesch Designer Stamps***

Welcome to another fabulous Sunday with Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog!  Anyone who knows me will be smiling over that title.  I am NOT, nor have I ever been, known for the cleanliness of my house.  Much to the despair of my mother and aunt who try to convince me that a woman's worth is directly tied to her ability to clean and maintain a household (they are a tad old fashioned!), I would much prefer to create.  Create cards or create scrapbook layouts - for me it leads to the same result - I create a mess.  Sadly right now my craft room is under siege and I've taken over the dining room table to colour and make cards.   

There is a point to this story...and that is how much I LOVE Elisabeth Bell and the Belles 'n Whistles latest release!!!  Especially the Spring Cleaning line.  Having not pushed a vacuum since I got married (granted we have only hardwood and lino in our house - wonder why?!), I immediately wanted Belle Vaccuming.  I knew the exact quote I would use for her on a card.


Of course I finished the quote on the inside of the card:


Tonight I was on a roll with picture taking and I even remembered to take a picture of the copics I used:


This week's challenge at Paper Sundaes is a colour combination of green, yellow, and red.  Use a little of each or a lot - as long as all three colours are visible on your card, we're happy!  I love the bright colours I found on the Garden Variety line by Cosmo Cricket.  The cardstock was a retired incolor from Stampin' Up!

Belle Vacuuming will be entered into the challenges at Roses on Paper (sketch), Diedrich Dare (Spring), and  Lili of the Valley (Summer - bright and colourful papers).

Please check out the rest of the fabulous DT creations featuring images from the talented Elisabeth Bell on the Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog.  I look forward to seeing what you create with this week's colour combination!  This week marks the first week participants will be eligible to win the Paper Sundaes Top Three blog badge!


Thank you for looking!
