Spring is HERE!

Spring really has arrived here in Mississippi. Even though we're still having some chilly days(after all Easter hasn't passed yet), but we've also had some days that were more like summer. You ask how I know Spring is really here. Simple, the pecan trees are leafing out and they're the very last tree to leaf around here. This week's challenge on the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog is to create a Spring Project. I chose this image called Buttercup Suzy to use for my card. She actually looks a lot like I did as a little girl. Here's a pic of me around the second grade I think. My hair is pulled back in a pony tail, but you can definitely see the freckles.

My image iscolored with Copics. Sassy Cheryl has added a whole slew of new images, so picking one for the challenge was a bit difficult. Be sure to check out the Sassy Cheryl's Store.

Instead of buttercups, I went for geraniums. I love geraniums. They just make me happy. The papers are from a digital paper kit called Nanny's Garden from Raspberry Road Designs. I think it was free, but if it wasn't, it was very inexpensive. Don't these colors just scream SPRING to you(especially with using my Martha Stewart hydrangea punch to create the blooms for my geraniums. I free hand cut the leaves and embossed them, and then added the glass beads to the flower centers. This card is going in a package to a friend this week. She also makes me happy, so I hope that I can return the favor.

Thanks for stopping by.
