Smile and Laugh

Hello everyone!!! So the Spring break started today and actually it was quite warm and nice. I checked the weather and by weekend it's gonna be wet and cold again, so I decided to enjoy a bit. It was a happy day!
I get to put this wonderful honor on my sidebar. Thank you Paper Craft Magazine.

Alright, I am guest designing for the challenge blog "Cards und More" and the challenge is to create a scene. How could I not create a Spring scene with a lovely flower and butterflies, the sky, greens, and that too while playing with my new Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft goodies. I used some Gelatos, PITT Big Brush Pens, PITT Artist Pen. Love how we can mix and match these products to achieve the desired effect. As you know, I tend towards Clean and Simple and here it is again....a CAS mixed media scene. I have my daughters in mind, while creating this as they would always make me laugh and smile. So this page is dedicated to my dear daughters :)
I have to buy an actual journal book for myself now as I am loving these products so much and just want to keep playing...lol

I used my favorite stamp by Hero Arts.

Playing along the following challenges too.

Hero Arts Monthly challenge: Just for Her (this is for my daughters)
