Let's hear it for SPRING

10 degrees this morning!  In all fairness, the cold helps kill bugs, weeds and set bulbs to ready our garden for Spring.  It's also been documented that there are less fights and verbal aggression in the winter than the summer.

Moving on....I was thrilled to be the random winner of some QKR images in challenge #126. The theme for QKR Challenge #127 is "critters".  I'm using digi 24186 "YaY'.  I'm also entering Cut It Up Challenge #65 - Exotic Animals.  I used the lovely La La Land die cut scallop border. I hope this is enough.

I cased my friend Deloris with her colors and sketch.  I love working with yellow but finding the right shades of yellows has always been challenging.

I made several of these and will make a sentiment when needed

Love Tree and Spring Time

It's gonna be 5 degrees tonight, but I feel Spring in my bones so I'm making some happy cards.

The Love Tree is from Designs on Cloud 9.  They are having a 60% off sale because they are closing the doors at the end of the month.  However, you will be able to buy most of the cuts now at the Silhouette Store like this one.  I also used MB rabbit on one, and Lawn Fawn birdie on all of them.

I cased my friend Evelyn.  Fell instantly in love with her card but of course I can't just leave things alone.  I can at least take off animals and clouds if I change my mind and I have waited to put on a sentiment.  I made at least one blue to send to my brother.

Take A Walk In My Garden....

This card came together from a lot of different resources.  The garden bench and ivy is from "My Garden Hideaway" and "Harvest Hill Farm" sets created by Mary at SVGCuts.  I used these sets ALL the time!  The plant stand, hangers and some flowers are stamps from Art Impressions.  The other flowers and dragonfly are from Rubber Stamp Tapestry. This is participating in the Nature Challenge at Art Impressions.
