Good morning everyone!

I’m not sure where everyone lives, but I am so over and done with all the snow we have been getting.  There is lots more in the forecast and we have no where left to put it!!  We have had the snowiest February on record…yikes.

With that being said, I am trying to think of warmer days, and this little sweetie is sure helping that thought process.  I chose Butterfly Princess Lulu for my DT creation for the Paper Nest Dolls today.  She is so adorable and was so fun to watch come to life.

She was printed on X-Press It Blending Card and was colored with the following Copic markers.

The purse design is from a file found in the Silhouette store.  The paper is from Penelope Dee-Victoria Collection, the die is from Cottage Cutz, and the flowers are from I Am Roses.  I tied a heart charm to the handle with silver cord, and added bling to the handle for a little glam.
