The flowers pop against the black and white background.

There are subtle differences in these two cards. I was inspired by Libby Fens.

There are the thank you cards I am sending to my customers this month.

I CASEd a card by Narelle and made a few changes.

Spring arrives early on Florida's Gulf Coast where I grew up. By February's end we were back at the beach frolicking in the water and gathering sea shells. This, to me, is what spring is all about. And, when you grow up by the sea, you always are drawn to it. Those living where I grew up would recognize this as a spring card because of the season's early arrival there. Both the white cardstock and the patterned paper were embossed using the Seabed folder. Then, I combined two stamp and die sets along with two shades of blue to create the beachy scene. Oh, to again spend spring on Pass-A-Grille Beach (part of St. Pete Beach), recently named the best beach in the USA.

Garden Wishes, to me, is the perfect stamp set to use in spring, the time when dandelions burst forth from the ground.

What a fun project this is using a stack of baby wipes as a stamp pad.

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking. --John Masefield
