Running into Spring

Well, it looks like spring has finally arrived!  The sun is shining, the temperature's rising, and I think there is even a touch of green to the grass (though this may be wishful thinking).  Tomorrow it is supposed to rain, and that's another sign....no?  I do hope your weekend is looking good too!


So how about a card with spring in mind.  Today I've used this wonderful image from Just Inklined, aptly named Football Crazy.  Once it dries up a bit outside, all those energetic people who love to run and chase a ball will be at it again, while the rest of us will be more than happy to sit in the sidelines and watch!

Today I played with some kraft and black cardstock, pairing it up with some papers from MME.  You will see some of that craft tape behind the image, and a piece of ribbon that I picked up somewhere in my travels.  No dies this time, but I did make use of my corner punch from EK Success.  As I have this in mind for one of the guys, just a couple of pieces of paper candi for embellishment.

I hope you enjoyed your visit, and with luck you picked up a bit of inspiration.  Have a wonderful day!
