It's Spring Time....

Oh, what a beautiful day!  The sun is shining and we are to reach 12°C or 53°F today.....and hopefully we are heading out for a while!  This is unbelievable for this time of year, but I'll take it, and more please!




Today's card is for Easter....I think this sweet little image (Chickies) from Mo Manning is very appropriate, with the little baby chicks.  I've added a stenciled border for some extra interest....what can I say, I love to doodle!  The shape behind the image was cut on my silhouette, and the one behind that with my Nestie die.  I've even used some buttons!


If the sun is shining where you are....take time to enjoy it!
