Celebrating Spring! Graphic 45 May Pole

Around these parts, Spring is taking it's dear sweet time making it's entrance so I decided to create a little bit of my own.

For this project, I created a May Pole using papers from Graphic 45's Sweet Sentiments, Secret Garden, and a sheet of the Cherished paper from their adorable (but retired) Little Darlings collection.

The back wall was created from chipboard and die cut using 

Tim Holtz's Distressed Doily Die. I covered it with the

Little Darlings Cherished paper. The flowers in the 

background were fussy cut from the Sweet Sentiments

paper. The ribbons on the pole were cut from

papers from Secret Garden's 6x6 pad. 

The lovely girls were stamped from the "Clara" stamp

which is part of G45's Nutcracker Sweet Stamp Set #1.

Their dresses were paper pieced using papers from 

Sweet Sentiments and Secret Garden's 6x6 pad. 

The flowers are from Hobby Lobby. The trims and doilies

are from friends. 

!!!!WELCOME SPRING!!!!

Blessings!
