Signs of Spring

Don't you just love Spring? It is one of my favorite seasons. I decided to make a Spring card today with my Wreath stamp set from The Saltbox Studio called Deck the Door. As much as I love my snowmen, I am glad to be using a *springy* image. I chose the heart grapevine wreath and the spring sentiment. I chose my papers first and then colored my image. Sometimes I do it the other way around and then can't find the *right* papers. This saves me the hassle and I get to use the papers that I *want* to use. I love these notecards from Amuse. I actually ended up cutting them and using them as pattern paper, with a Kraft base. This card measures 5 by 5. I also used some Amuse Twinkle stickers on the corners. ( my 4 year old daughter saw me using them and asked if she could have two for earrings...how could I say no) I can see myself reaching for these wreaths for many upcoming cards. I am counting down the days until I can hang my spring wreath on my door. Not too many more! I also added a picture of what my flower beds are looking like. Once the snow melted, I could see the daffodils and tulips poking there first shoots up and each day they grow bigger. It won't be long now.

* update on the wrist: yes...that is why I have been a bad blogger. It is feeling much better...still some issues, but it will be as good as new before long. Thank you for all of your well wishes.
