This week’s Pals Paper Arts challenge is “Anything but a Card,” so I figured it would be the perfect time to show you how my library has been transformed for spring! I am truly blessed this year to have most amazing library assistant! Karen is not only incredibly competent, but she is artistic as well. She has done an amazing job decorating the library for the different seasons and holidays throughout the year. After the St. Patrick’s Leprechaun hunt was over, she began decorating the library for spring. She used a variety of Stampin’ Up! papers and Big Shot dies to turn the library into a Springtime wonderland! Take a look (supplies listed at the very end). Click on any picture to enlarge it.
This is the display area behind the circulation desk:
These are the two sides of the circulation desk:
There are also a large number of butterflies and birds hanging from the ceiling. (She used paper clips and dental floss to hang them up.)
Supplies: Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper, Tea Party Designer Series Paper, Big Shot, Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die, Bird with Leaves & Flowers Bigz Die, Flower Folds Bigz XL Die, On Board Bird Book
The paper was all laminated before being cut. The large butterflies, rabbits, and some of the other items are Karen’s own designs. Thank you, Karen, for your incredible contribution to the library!

















Awesome! It would be so much fun to go to work each day!
That is gorgeous! Your friend Karen is so creative!
And this is one of the things I miss the most since I retired from teaching – all of the decorating and paper projects! Your library is beautiful – Karen did a great job! Thanks for sharing it at PPA!
This is just beautiful, Yapha! I’m sure the library patrons are enjoying the colorful touches of Spring everywhere! Karen did a wonderful job! Thanks for sharing your library in “bloom”!
How cute! I love it!
What a happy place your library must be!
