It's officially spring!!

So, two days ago (the 19th) was officially the first day of spring...and it was snowing here! Very depressing after the endless winter. It is cold and dreary out there today. We did manage to get all the twigs and branches cleaned up out of our yard, and burned all the Christmas wreaths, etc. Still too early to get in the garden though. Which I am always itching to do as soon as the "Snow Whites" appear.
They always give me hope that eventually, I will have perennials blooming all over the place, and I can sit on the porch with my coffee and a good book and relax.
Speaking of relaxing...I have been a card-making machine this week. I took four days off, got all the laundry done, (even quilts, duvet covers, sofa pillow slips etc.) AND...I've been making cards. I have lots on hand for "just in case". This one, is using a sketch that Carla Peicheff posted on her blog. It really didn't turn out very "springy", but I'm still happy with it.


Materials: Bazill CS, K & Co PP and butterfly, Prima flowers, DMC embroidery floss, Walmart buttons, EK success border punch, Dollar store rhinestones.

For some reason I can only post 4 pics at a time...even if I make them very small...so I'll post a few more cards later. Thanks for checking my blog out...hope your spring has started out as well as mine. Shirley.
