Isn't he just the CUTEST little snail you've ever seen??? I just LOVE coloring him! Think of all the different ways you could color his shell. You can match your DSP or just go with whatever colors you feel like. And can you imagine what he'd look like with little "googly" eyes??? OMG! Too stinkin' cute!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Stop back on Tuesday so you can meet Melvin's girlfriend, Susie!</div>

We've had a lot of rain in the last few weeks, so the flowers are blooming beautifully here in the north east. So Paper and Such's May Flowers challenge is perfect! Not only do they have an awesome selection of stamps to choose from, but they are so much fun to color too!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to go in a different direction this time around. I took four of the sets and made some very pretty bookmarks. They all have a touch of bling on them, whether it's a Sakura pen or Stickles. This was also a great project to use up some of my scrap ribbon. Cuz' we all know that we don't throw any of it away, right?</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r3rJ3aiRkBE/T6VV-BJoTII/AAAAAAAAFEk/L1zjaEc9jac/s1600/DSC_0052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-r3rJ3aiRkBE/T6VV-BJoTII/AAAAAAAAFEk/L1zjaEc9jac/s400/DSC_0052.JPG" width="332" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
These two feature the Wild Rose and Poppy stamps. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And these are the Daisy and Daffodil sets. I'm not sure if you can tell, but I added Goldenrod Stickles to the daisies and used my Sakura pen around the daffodils.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
