Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the current challenge at Di's Digi with Flowers Everywhere featuring the adorable Daffodil Delivery .  I created a fun Spring scene with papers from Memory Box and dies from MFT, Lawn Fawn (sentiment) and Memory Box Stitched Clouds. The image was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  I can almost smell the daffodils.... they remind me of Spring!
