Tuesday Trigger: Butterfly Dreams

This week's Tuesday Trigger comes to us from Jaclyn Miller:


Jaclyn says: When my daughter pulled last year's Easter dress out of the closet this week, I thought "this would be a great Tuesday Trigger to inspire everything Easter and spring." I absolutely love the combination of pastels in this dress. There's a little hint of pink, but not too much to overpower the whole thing. And the ribbon and flowers are to die for. Plus, I knew that butterflies are hot, hot, hot! I really enjoyed pulling together a card based on this dress and I think the final result is so soft and pretty. I hope you enjoy it!

My inspired card: I loved that polka-dot ribbon and that pretty lace, so I made a special trip to buy some lace and ribbon to match. The flower is made from a combination of punches, a store-bought flower and my cricut. The sentiment is a rub-on by K & Co.:

Moxie Fab Alert: I love the way Jaclyn has incorporated lace and pattern, echoing the super cute Trigger. She's layered them together in a similar color palette and topped it all off with a simple sentiment that is both lovely and fitting. Thanks for the inspiration, Jaclyn!

Congratulations to these ladies who rocked last week's Tuesday Trigger brought to us by Carolyn King! This week's Trigger Targets are: Kathryn, Hannah S, Jenny (Wee Memories), Laura Davis, Monika (buszy), and Michelle Mathey! You go girls!

Thanks to everyone who gave it a try!

Triggerin' it out,

I adore Easter dresses for little girls. My 'little' girl is practically in womens sizes, but still loves a new Spring dress.
Thanks for the inspiration, Amy.
