Spring time layout made with Walk In My Garden and Stretch Your Imagination

Hello, Everyone! This is Melanie and I have a double layout I made using two of the older cartridges. I just love both of them and when I think of spring I always reach for Walk in My Garden and Stretch Your Imagination.

This double layout is made with Doodlebug patterned paper and Core'dinations cardstock. All embellishments except for the orange ribbon, is Doodlebug.



The daffodil is from Walk in My Garden and is cut at 6 1/4".



the caterpillar which is from Walk in my Garden is cut at 1 3/4"



The flowers are all from Walk In My Garden.
tulips: 7"
hyacinths: 5 3/4"
daisy: 6 3/4"



The title is from Stretch Your Imagination and was cut at 7".



The tag is from Walk In My Garden and was cut at 3 1/4".



Thanks so much for stopping by today! Make sure you enter our Expression giveaway by clicking ==>here<==! Have a wonderful day!
