SPRING is making an appearance

   Hello  and Happy Spring...I sure  hope it is more than  just a brief appearance ~ I am ready for some nice weather.
 While I was out in my craft room, trying to go through some things  I  found some  odds and ends  and pieces of  cards.  So I  decided  to see what I could  make... I still have  a  huge pile of goodies  to play with but I thought I would share a couple with you ... 

  My first one was perfect  for a manly birthday card...I dear friend  from high school  celebrated a birthday earlier this week...  It was  great ...I put the  Happy Birthday on the inside with a special note  that said : as far as friends go, you are a true CLASSIC... The image is a SU stamp set  called Classics, I used  basic  gray  card stock, black ink and  mat  and  basic  gray  satin ribbon  
The card front  had  a slight  embossing ,  but it is not showing very well in he scan ...I also  straightened  the  mat and image up  before I  mailed it !   lol  


 The second  one I really got side tracked with because there were a few of these...  My  daughter Krista  actually made these card  fronts  for an exchange  at a SU  gathering...she  had leftovers  so I  asked  her to share them...they  were / are  just too pretty to not  be used.... and with Spring  arriving  it was the perfect  time  to get them ready to go out in the mail ...  This is all SU product, she used a SU  border punch and  watercolor crayons and blender pen  to color it in ..I love it, so soft and  delicate...


So I  guess instead of Spring Cleaning  I  dabbled in  re-furbishing cards...sounds  better  than  "cheating "  
               It sure was more fun than cleaning!  

I hope your first day of spring  has been good and left you with reasons  to SMILE

As always, thanks for dropping in,  I am off to enjoy  a grandson, he came  here after school for a grandma  hug, a Daisy girl  playtime  and oh yes  a SNACK...lol

                           Til next time

                               Bye Bye
