Happy Spring

Well, technically it's not Spring yet, but I sure have been dreaming about it lately. Longer days, warmer weather (not hot, I hate hot, but warmer than Winter!), and pretty flowers popping out of the ground! I can't wait for Spring to arrive!!




I got a PTI order in the mail today, and I couldn't wait to stamp the gorgeous flowers from Friendship Jar Spring Fillers. As you've heard me say often here, I'm not so great at coloring, so I decided to let these pretty pastel patterned papers do the work for me. I like the result, a breath of SPRING :)




Are you looking forward to Spring? It's my 2nd favorite season, Fall being my favorite, and Summer being my least favorite, I just can't take the heat ;)

  32. Spring? What's that? LOL
    Let me just start by saying that I seldom right click and save pictures of cards. Rarely happens. THIS ONE went straight into my inspiration file. Post haste. What a beautiful BG quilt of colors for the simple line stamp of tulips.
