Bright Sunny Early Spring Day!

Bright blue sky , lots of sun; oh my, how nice it looks till one steps outside. Cold and windy. Pretty but gloves and a warm coat are needed. Still I found some encouraging signs of spring.
Chives are up and growing just in time for accents on Easter dinner.

Mums made it thru the winter.

Chinese azalea is loaded with buds..so looking forward to seeing this shrub flower in April.

King Alfred Daffodils are up and budding as well.... What a joy their yellow heads in May.

Frosty Morn sedum ;
Purple Black Knight Buddelia has put on some new leaves.
Lovely day , tho the weather forecasters used that nasty 4 letter word starting with S for the weekend .
Heck ,they have been wrong before!

On the Pier

Happy Wednesday!
Well today starts the first of a three day inventory for me at work....blech! I'm not looking forward to it at all. Let's hope it goes smoothly and I'm not exhausted when I get home each night. I want to be able to stamp, right?!
Last weekend I stamped this image at Karen's house and coloured it with all her copics....she has WAY more than I do! LOL! When I got home on Sunday I put this card together using Jen's SFYTT.

Stamps: On the Pier; Cardstock: Vanilla, Kiwi Prism, WeRMemoryKeepers dp; Inks: Memento black; Accessories: Copics, Dimensionals

Mega March Blog Hop Just Rite

**this is my second post today...to see Mercy's sketch card please scroll down

Oh boy was I excited to be able to play along with so many rockstars during this 3 day blog hop!
Here is a card I created using the every so popular and fun Stitched With Love set. The image was stamped in Memento Black onto Kraft and coloured with Copics. I added a few buttons and linen thread over the button images...so fun!
