You are amazing!

 Hello Friends! Spring is officially here! Isn't it wonderful? My daffodils have come up and are blooming like crazy!  Our winter was incredibly mild this year so I don't feel like I have truly earned my Spring {one of my dear friends said that to me and it rung true}  None the less, Spring is one of my favorite seasons. I was holding off on "embracing" it until I put up all of the Easter decorations in my home and now I can excitedly proclaim,"Happy Spring!"

Today's card is for a friend, who I always knew was amazing, but has proven it to me even more in the last 24 hours.

My desk was far too clean and I hadn't had any creative time in a few days, so I seized the opportunity while the baby was napping.  Today's design is simple and clean with a few details to make it a little more interesting than dull.

 I played with the sentiment strip and finally settled on this arced placement. I really like it and since it will be hand delivered, there is no fear of it getting damaged.  I think it gives it a fun, whimsical feel without being overdone.  I added the brads on either side of the seed packet to get it to arc the way I liked it best, and while I worried it would detract, I think it gives it some extra shine it was needing.

 I also added a die cut circle of burlap for some texture and interest.  It also gives it a garden-y feel, I think. Okay...enough with the "I thinks"....ha ha.... I just read how many times I have typed "I think".  Clearly, I wouldn't have done the things I did if I didn't "think" it needed it! LOL!  I also added a few sequins that I just got a few weeks ago. I love them...there is a burnished silver, gold and these dull white ones that I LOVE!

Just a little something for the inside to tie it all together.  I hope my friend will like it and it will brighten her day! Thanks for fluttering by!
