The new Challenge... Anything But a Card Challenge #34 - "SPRING Forward"!! We know Spring is dragging it's feet in arriving as ol' man winter keeps his heels dug in the snow and ice... so we are celebrating the new season with an OPEN THEME!!! Feel free to break out the bright colors and create along with Spring and Easter, or create whatever your muse desires... as long as it's anything but a card!

"I just love everything about Spring but alas we are heading into Autumn but the colors of Spring are perfect for Easter Creating also. So this one is a tag embracing my more messy side. My background is a mix of Distress Stains and Gelatos, while I have used a punched flower border strip and a striped paper to add further interest before layering on my main Easter Collage Images, my sentiment and finishing with a bunny brad. Please visit my BLOG for more details."

A little about our Guest Designer Danie May...

I am a stay at home foster mum and part time carer for my mother with Alzheimer's who lives with hubby and the rest on the family including 3 fur babies residing on acreage in the beautiful Northern Rivers Area of NSW Australia. I have always been arty crafty following in my father's footsteps and partaking in everything from flower arranging to wood turning. When I discovered paper-crafting about 12 years ago I found something that would become a passion. Starting out as a stamper/card maker I now dabble in all things mixed media, and have more recently started to paint/draw in a number of mediums as well as finding a enjoyment for photography particularly of birds.

I also love to share what I do and am grateful for the wonderful people I have met along the way of my creative journey. In October 2013 I took over the running and editoral of Unruly PaperArts which is a collaborative blogozine featuring articles on all things mixed media and papercrafting and I am honored to currently be a Design Team Member for Altered Pages and Cards in Envy.
