Freshly Made Sketches #684

As I was writing this post there wasn't a thing blooming in my yard... sigh.  But I'm so happy to see my neighbors Forsythias are!  But we card makers can always find flowers blooming in our happy places, right?  Jen Mitchell's Sketch #684 gives us the perfect spot to plant a few posies - or anything else your crafty heart desires!

 

I had a few new dies to take for a spin...

I can hardly wait to see what you all plant in Jen's circle!  See you soon!

  9. So pretty. I am sorry to hear that spring hasn't quite reached your yard yet. This week I noticed that my Californian poppies have started to flower. Such a welcome pop of colour xx
