Spring Card

It snowed on the very first day of spring here in Maryland. I was much disgruntled about it. The winters are so very tough for us mamas with little kids at home. And this one seemed harsher than others in the past. I'm barely hanging onto my sanity. Come this time of year, it all wears so very thin. Good thing there's hope. A few more weeks. I can do anything for a few more weeks.

Out of protest on March 20th, and just to make myself feel better, I made this spring card for my gardening mom. Because the hope just knowing that warm weather, flowers, and sunshine are right around the corner is something that needs to be celebrated!

I had lots of fun here. Ever since I saw the Comic Strip Cover Plate die, I wanted to use those defined spaces to house all sort of stamped elements. So I did that here. I even rearranged them to match my card design more.

I used a sentiment from Spring Hills stamp set. And in doing so, it dawned on me that the combination of these defined rectangles and the various images in the Hills Collection would make some really cute cards. Hope to get a chance to do that here soon.

The rest of the supplies are listed below. Here's hoping spring comes your way soon!
