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!

Your paper garden patch is as pretty as anything I'm seeing out my window right now! Love those dies and the gentle colors, as well as the itty bitty hello tucked into the edge. Sweet!

Paper blooms are always a win in my book and these are lovely! We're in full bloom here, Michele! I even spotted lilacs today!

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

I think you should have started this post with an "enabler alert" warning....those floral dies are amazing! What great texture!
