Things I Love About Spring

I know the calendar says it's Spring, but if you were where I am (Michigan) right now it's anything but Spring. I'm writing this as the sleet is pelting my studio window and we are under a Winter Weather Advisory.  Oh goody!!!  I can't believe I'm saying this...at this point I'm glad it's not more of the white stuff.  The last pile of snow just melted from our backyard yesterday.  Anyway, trying to remain in my Spring frame of mind I made another card today using a brand new set from The Cutting Cafe called One Spring Day for a few challenges.  Fabulous set with over 90 digital images in black/white and color. 

The Challenges:

• Alphabet Challenge-Trees
• Aly's Sunday Challenge- Spring
• Amber's Crafts-Anything Goes
• Crafty Ann's-Spring
• Digi Doodles-Anything Goes
• Do You Stack Up- Bow
• Paper Crafting Journey-Up in the air (bird)
• Sugar Creek Hollow- Anything Goes
• Thrilling Thursday- Show us what you've got

I loved this tree image the minute I saw it.  Nothing would make me happier than seeing some green leaves right now, but here in Michigan that's about another month away.  I am happy to say that the robins started returning last week.  (If I were them I would have stayed where it was warmer).  This is a standard A2 card cut from kraft cardstock and topped with yellow polka dot paper from my scrap bin.  I added the red gingham ribbon and bow before placing the printable stamp on top.  Then I printed the little journaling sentiment tag and popped it up with dimensionals.  I added a little doodling and it was finished.  It truly doesn't get easier.
