For my project this month I made up a spring flower arrangement. I was playing around with some of the flowers one afternoon and came up with the stems of forsythia (yellow flowers) and my son suggested they would make good hyacinths too, and I think they do (the pink flowers). I added some purple flowers which sort of resemble crocuses.

The flowers and leaves are all from "Fancy Flowers". I hand cut a few long leaves to look like the leaves on a hyacinth. The pot is from "Bloom Where Your Planted". I cut out 2 of them and attached to either side of a box made from Silhouette. The butterflies are from "KISS - Spring".
Additional Supplies:
Recollections and DCWV papers
Really Reasonable Ribbons
Stickles
Floral wire and tape
Floral Styrofoam, moss
Stamens purchased from Ebay

In keeping with the spring flower theme I have a pair of flower-shaped earrings for one lucky winner! They are silver-tone flower-shaped with pink cat's eye and Swarovski crystal on a sterling lever back. They hang approx. 1 5/8".

To win these sweet little earrings:

• Visit and like my Facebook page
• Leave me a comment here and on Facebook
• One lucky winner will be picked Thursday April 4 and announced on my Facebook page!

Now, it's off to Cathie's blog to see her fabulous project for this month's challenge.

Thank you so much for hopping along with us. We hope you've been inspired to join in on the challenge, we can't wait to see what you create!
