Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree.....

Hi there....I'm back!  After a mini vacation away from all the snow and ice, it was a real disappointment to find it was all still here upon my return.  I chipped away at some of the ice this afternoon, as I think it stands a better chance of melting if its broken, and I will do anything to speed up the process.  Come on spring....please!!!  I've had a peak at the long range forecast and it isn't looking at all good....I'm just hoping they are wrong, as we don't need another big dumping of snow!


For my card today I have skipped a season, going straight into summer or maybe even autumn, but either way you will notice lots of green....really missing that colour!  This is another lovely image from Just Inklined, titled Apple Tree, which lends itself to some nice bright colours and is perfect for a thank you card.

Supplies used:
paper from Crate Paper - Farmhouse collection
Spellbinders die - Marvelous Squares
Cheery Lynn die - City Girl Edger

Thanks so much for visiting, and here's hoping you are all staying safe and warm.....and thinking spring thoughts!

  8. Beautiful card! I love the colors!
    Spring will come, hopefully very soon :) We've had a very unusual winter in Norway, not very cold and some places have had no snow at all. I prefer the green winter :)
