Digital Layouts - Spring

Can't believe that we're in April already... It still seems as if the year has just started to me. But that may also be because it is still quite cold around here.

Anyways, as it is the first of the months we're starting a new challenge over at Creatalicious this week. We have another colour palette for you...


How about some joyful colors to do your spring projects? That's what this palette is about!! The prize will be this cute digital scrapbook kit by Scrappiness Designs.






All papers and elements I've used are from the Lady Bug kit, you can win... Just added my photos & the sentiments to it...


PS: Our Lovely Easter challenge is still running, so you can join us here with all those last minute Easter cards/projects, you've made.
