Or has it? Apparently there are lots of journalists looking for signs of Spring today ... I would just like to point them in the direction of my Craft room window ... it's very sunny out there ... which is a good enough sign for me.
Any one sad at waving good bye to the coldest winter for 31 years??? Nope??? Me neither!
So ... as always I was over the top and my Spring submission for the Zutter DT is more Summer than Spring! Hey Ho!They do say that Love is in the air at this time of year and it certainly is for me ... I have fallen in love with the new Zutter Hang-it-alls. You just hammer them in and the jobs a goodun! Love Love Love them! If you would like some ... just to see how good they are ... well you all you need to do is leave a comment here before March 10th and who knows ... it could be you :0)
Look closely at my hangie thing and you will see some more of Rachel Greig's wax crayon resist technique and lots of Darkroom Door stamps ... the Grunge flower is a Frangipani ... I think that's right ... it is definitely something like that ... what a fab name for a flower ... especially if I have just made it up :0)
For all those Distress ink gurus out there ... yup! ... you are right ... I have n't used DI's ... I have indeed got out my Adirondack ink pads ... Lemonade ... Butterscotch ... Terracotta and Sunset orange.
Have a good day everyone ... and don't forgot to share your signs of Spring ... I hope they are as scientific as mine :0)

More amazing work from you Linda, such an inspiration to us all:)
Every bit as scientific as yours - the frost has melted on the part of the lawn that isn't in the shadow of the house, does that count as spring? Love your hanging piece, those hangy thingies look fab!
I can see crocuses in my garden so that must be a sign of Spring. Love your hangy thing and especially the bright colours. Cheers us all up!!
Linda thats beautiful and so sunny... wish spring would leave behind the snow and frost here lol xxxxxx
Totally STUNNING!!! Love the Springtime theme...and yes, me too...hoping no more snow and ice and more sunshine and warmth :O)) xx
Beautiful work as usual, and yes, isn't it lovely and sunny here in Cambridge :D
just an adorable piece again Linda and we have a glorious day here today though I do love the snow and was actually hoping for more, lots love x
This is gorgeous, I like the look of the new Zutter Hand-it-alls!
It looks like spring here in North Wales but it was extremely frosty overnight brrr.

Truly beautiful as always - what gorgeous gorgeous colours! The sun is shining brightly through my office window, so that's good enough for me!
So love the look of these hang it alls and your hanging thingy is beautiful ...are those beer mats
again?
The sun is shinning and the rays are actually warmish ...some one has hung their washing out and I saw snowdrops in someones front garden...no crocuses yet.
Beautiful project Linda! I thought that a frangipani was an almond flavoured cake, but then I do think way more about cakes than I do about flowers! :)
Fab project Linda and I do love those Hang-it-alls - I really think I need some of those!
Still got snow in Scotland so loved seeing your bright spring themed design. Love the way it links together.
Oooooooo just love those hangy thingies Linda,and I too am looking outa my window right now at glorious sunshine!!!!! IreneXX
Beautiful sunshine down here in Cornwall as well!
ooo this is gorgeous Linda and I NEED those hanging thingies haha X
Fabulous work as always Linda - it is quite Springlike where I am at the moment, and it is always an inspiration! You know I've had some Grunge paper for ages and I still haven't used it yet!!! I really must have a go.
This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I LOVE the colors..the flowers...everything!
Love your hangy things the colours are so spring like and actually reflect whats happening in my garden. Thank you for sharing. xx
Love the colors! I really love my Adirondack dye inks, too. Always nice to change it up a bit. The flowers are AWESOME! The whole thing is just GREAT!
Absolutely gorgeous :) I do love those Hang-it-alls - fabby! Frangipani here:

Oh, woke up to a light layer of the white stuff but lovely blue sky and sunny now :)

Yup! I have crocus poking up through the ground that will be the colour of your lovely hangy thing and those little Zutter gizmos look the bees knees. I definitely need some so off to follow the link now.
Love the cheerful hanging Linda.

Stunning piece!!! Love the colors...incredible!
Wow......this is gorgeous. It is such a pleasure visiting your blog.
Thank you. A.x
gorgeous hanging. lovely choice of colour
If I'm feeling down a visit to your blog never fails to brighten my day. I am amazed by your never repeated definitions of the master himself - T.H. - and inspired by your wonderful work. The Zutter hang-it-alls look a fun idea - it would be great to win some.

those are gorgeous Linda and the clasps are just devine !
love those warm yellows and oranges !
hugs

Very lovely - liking those hangy wotsits. Frangipani are gorgeous and smell divine!! Frangipani manoi bath cream by Elemis is the most fabulous smell in the world! (the almond cake is a franzipan - like marzipan)
What lovely sunny sunshiney tags and love those hangy things - entered the draw - thanks for the link. I had seen the video but somehow missed the bit about the draw.
I love how you have made those flowers - I think that I could manage those - the roses beat me to submissions and tears :-(
Loving these colours Linda & we have sunshine here in Glasgow too - tis glorious, just like all your art!! Those Hang it Alls look super duper too xx
Definitely spring colours there Linda, they look really great - and what wonderful hanging 'thingys'
Wouls be great to win some
oooh - all those adirondak inks remind me of a good old stodgy pudding - good enough to eat with ice cream (obviously now the weather is a heatwave in comparison!!!)
These hang-it-alls are like little squares of heat - I could almost warm my hands on them... I like them - I like them a lot!!!!

Lovely colours, Linda. Just what I was trying to achieve today and singularly failed to do. I shall have to have another go now using your recipe. Yes, I think Spring has indeed sprung, finally. I actually managed to dry some clothes outside for the first time in months.

You really are just so so talented ... I love stopping by your blog :) ... thank you
OOO luv the hinges & Frangipani's (it is deffo a real word,I once read a book with that as the title,it wasn't about flowers though,lol!!!) :o)x
lovely warm colours in our hangie thingy! those hangers look cool too.
My first sign of spring? I go all winter in rude health... bit of sunshine and I'm dosed up to the eyeballs all week! Bah!
Love your hangie, so cheerful and colourful.
I love the colours that you have used, the flowers are gorgeous. Another sunny day today, and as I don't live a million miles away from you, then I guess you have one too! The Hang-it-alls look brilliant. Judith x
Beautiful, absolutely stunning colours. So what's this crayon resist technique then?? Care to share??
