I’m really enjoying how all of these companies are incorporating felt accents to their lines…like the felt flowers in the AC I Do collection.
flowers and butterflies!!
I love butterflies but with three boys in our house I tend to use more solid colors like blue and brown – trucks, legos and nature;)
I’m loving all the rainbows and banners that I’ve seen in a lot of spring collections (like Dear Lizzy). Swoon! Pinwheels are lots of fun too!
Gotta be flowers! I love them all: paper flowers, felt flowers, silk flowers! They fit just about anywhere on the page, and add texture and elegance. Or whimsy! Flowers flowers flowers.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

I love bright fun colors! I also like things that remind me of outside with my little guy

I love both flowers and butterflies and find it hard to make a card without one or the other. (But I’m currently making Father’s Day cards, so having to forgo both for the moment!) All the collections you showed are lovely — I Do is my favorite.
My favorite thing to scrap about the start of spring is my kids jumping in the fresh puddles after a warm spring rain! My DD had her rain boots on with a cute little dress and I captured some of the cutest pictures of her!
I know it’s been around forever, but the flower prints just keep getting better, in my opinion. I love the bright hues and the larger, cut-out-able blooms coming out lately.
Totally love flowers, butterflies and bees…
Flowers all the way. I love the trend this year for hand made flowers.
Flowers for summer & fall & winter & spring!
I love flowers AND butterflies! lol.
Flowers is most definitely my favorite. I LOVE them– handmade, printed, whatever!
It’s flowers for me..every Spring! Living in Oregon, we start having flowers open up early. Which is perfectly with me. I have a tendancy to put flowers on most of my cards.
Pastel colors and flowers are a Spring MUST!
I am a gardener and the grandmother of two girls who LOVE to help. My favorite flowers are lilacs, peonies, hydrangeas, lavender, and more. So it is definitely flowers for me. I use them in my scrapbooking and card-making as much as I can.
I love flowers and butterflies, bling, texture, color, color! Would love to win any of the 3 packs!
I’m all about flowers – a flower with a brad or button in the middle is always on my spring cards.
I love the mini banners and lots and lots of flowers.
Flowers and butterflies are always great!
I’d say I am into birds this spring. I just love all the cute embellishments with them.
has to be flowers!i love flowers.
I love using different types of flowers!
I know they’ve been around and popular for a while but butterflies always mean spring and beauty to me!
i’ve got to go with flowers, i love using them year round, and i love having fresh flowers around!

I love all the pretty pastel flowers that is the start of new growth and warm weather. These paper packs are really pretty, love them all.

For spring, I really love the look of nature scenes – suns, clouds, grass, and flowers. So I know that’s probably more than one motif, but being outside after the cold winter and before the too-hot summer is what spring is all about for me!!
Thanks for peeks into the latest and greatest…and thanks for the chance to win!
I’m still in love with the banners/pennants…being a boy mama they go better on my pages than flowers usually. But the butterflies I’m seeing everywhere are really catching my eye and I might have to bust out a few layouts about ME to get to use some!
At the moment, it is definitely butterfly!! ‘cos I’ve just got my Martha Steward butterfly punches! yay!
Spring and Fall are my two favorite season. Love spring when the bluebirds come in and start building the nest to have their babies in.
I love the flowers and pretty spring colors.
I really like the beautiful colors of all kind of pattern. Especially flowers BUT NOT just any flowers. Created unique fantastic flowers with glare & sparks…. Makes a LO & cards Fantasic.
Ohhh…all three collections are fabulous, love the I-Do collection from American Crafts! My favorite spring scrapbooking motif is butterflies! Thanks for the chance to win!
Personally, I love flowers as a sign and motif of spring. But for scrapbooking purposes and since I have 4 boys, I prefer bugs.
I love butterflies, also stick to cheerful color combos, especially yellow and orange.
I love, love all kinds of polka dots
Butterflies! A sign of new beginnings and change!!
I’m the only female in the house and always scrapping about boys
so i really love using flowers and anything pink and girly during the spring and summer.
I am really into flowers right now…I can’t seem to get enough!
I love the bright fun Spring colors….pinks, yellows, oranges, blues.
I like to use flowers, butterflies, pinwheels, clouds, grass, trees, etc.
Love the new collections!
