In honour of spring--which , by the way, is VERY slow creeping into Alberta--here is a new challenge. Take a look at this Blog Post from Elizabeth Craft Designs. They have a die to create a little springy action with their diecuts on cards, and they challenged their DT to use it to create. My challenge to you is: Add a little spring to at least one element on your project. Make that diecut pop up and/or wiggle on your card. Cut a hole through your page protector to let one element jump out to meet the album viewer. Add spme element that wiggles and jiggles and springs... Now I wouldn't discourage you from picking up that little die if you really want to, but when I looked at the cards, I saw some simple weaving of strips which I thought I could cut and crease on my own to get a similar effect. You may also have some craft springs from other manufacturers, and you could pull those out, too, to meet this challenge. I have even seen some of these done with the springs from old flashlights or the battery casings from old electronics. Whatever you do, add a little spring to your step! Have fun!

An easy spring could be made from a bit of fan-folded paper

Here is my best effort. I piled up pop dots to make the flower wobble.

myboysnme , I love your living history pages. And your wobbly flower says spring in more than one way! Thanks for playing!
