Is is spring yet?
This winter has been a tough one. Record breaking snow falls, bitter cold for weeks, $400 electric bills, etc. But it finally feels like spring might show up after all. It was 74 degrees today and the sun was shining. My daffodils are bustin' out all over and the tulips are sprouting too. Redbuds are budding and my eyes are itching. All good signs of better weather to come.
So I couldn't wait to dig into bright, cheerful colors. And what better to signify spring than flowers? Lily of the Valley have nothing to do with this card, but they are my favorite flower, so I decided to use them to set the stage for my blog hop entry.
All supplies are PTI.
Cardstock: Stamper Select white, Lemon Tart, Hibiscus Burst, Hawaiian Shore, Vellum
Ink: New Leaf and Hibiscus Burst
Ribbon: Lemon Tart Dots
Buttons: Lemon Tart and Hibiscus Burst
Dies: Beautiful Blooms II and Picnic Plaid Embossing Plate
Felt: Hawaiian Shores
I feel like spring has sprung. At least until tomorrow when they claim we have a chance of snow showers, LOL.
Later gators! I'm off to make dinner and arrange a playdate.
