Spring Time Planting

Good evening!  Tonight I've taken a walk down memory lane with one of my favorite stamp companies - Paper Makeup Stamps.  I had the pleasure of being introduced to their monsters and aliens a couple years ago when I was in desperate search for images for my then five year old son.  My love of their fairies, Moody Girls, and word art shortly followed.  As with many of my stamps in my vast collection, my PMS stamps have been grossly neglected for quite some time.  So, with Spring finally upon us I wanted to print and colour Sprout:

The layout is my own - just the way the papers wanted to be laid out.  :)  Paper Makeup is currently sponsoring two challenges - Copic Creations and Through the Craftroom Door.  The challenge at Copic Creations is the colour "yellow" - hence the two-toned yellow top and blonde hair!

I continued the same basic layout on the inside of the card using one of the Word Arts from PMS:

I love this sentiment!  I wish I could say that I was good at following its' wisdom but that would not be the truth.  Although for me, crafting helps to keep my spirits and day bright.  Another big plus for me with Paper Makeup Stamps is Katie Cotton.  I have placed a few orders with her and she has actually graciously sponsored Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog and from all those interactions I can tell you that she is actually a sweetheart to deal with.  I have a few favorites to deal with when shopping and Katie and Lacey (from Stamp & Create) rate at the top of my list.
