I love spring, it's my favorite time of year. And here in the Netherlands spring bring tulips, crocuses, hyacinths and peonies, just to mention a few gorgeous signs that much better weather is on the way.
One tradition each spring is to drive to the tulips and hyacinths fields when the flowers are in full bloom. You can only see them for a few short weeks before they are harvested. And this year they were fabulous - maybe because we have been inside for so many months! Each time I visited the fields this year I took a few photos and decided that two of them were definitely a memory I wanted to preserve.
Here's the funny thing. Although I own the Timeless Tulips stamp set, I decided not to use it on my page. Instead I chose the Painted Poppies stamp set (gasp).
Painted Poppies
When this set was first released it was bundled Painted Labels dies and you could also purchase a coordinating pack of elements - which of course I did. I promised myself that this was the year to use up my supplies, even the ones that are retired. And I know you will forgive me, right? Plus coloring these images with the Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends made a perfect match for the color of the tulips in my photos.
Here's my page:
I will add journaling in a bit - that's pretty personal to me so I prefer to keep it private. I hope that you will preserve your special memories and lovely photos too - why not try my layout or if you also have the Painted Poppies stamp set, see how you can use this set on your next memory page.
