Just take a look at this fantastic sketch from Freshly Made Sketches this week! A classic look with loads of possibilities from the wonderful Cindy Hall. I knew what I wanted to make the minute I saw it…and I love a sketch where that happens!
So I got this awesome set, Simple Stems, from the Occasions Catalog and it is so fantastic. Kind of a “build a flower” set. I stamped the flower top in Strawberry Slush and the stem in Pear Pizzazz. The sentiment is from the hostess set Express Yourself and I love that pretty font. I pulled out some paper from Gingham Garden DSP and it seemed so spring-like. Perfect to improve my attitude about all the winter yuck we’ve been having!! After I had everything together I thought it still needed a little something. You KNOW that my go-to solution was ribbon of some kind but as I was sifting through, I came across this little paper clip with a bow on it. It is the Simply Styled Embellishment that was in the Holiday Catalog. It seemed to be just what I was looking for. Still have some left from your holiday cards?? Just pull them out and use them for spring!
The team over at Freshly Made Sketches has some fantastic inspiration for you (I know…they always do!). Make sure you hop over and check out their work. I hope you’ll play along too!
Back tomorrow with another project from the Leadership Display Boards. Until then, so glad that you dropped by. See you soon!

Loving the bright springtime look of this……..as it snows snows snows today!
Beautiful card, Jennifer, that just looks like spring! Although we’re in the middle of summer here, I really feel for my Northern Hemisphere friends and the terrible weather you’ve been having.
This is like a breath of fresh air after all this winter yuck! The gingham reminds me of a summer cookout!
Hi Jennifer,
Your card is a CLASSIC – its pulled together so well, a nice bright spot in the mid winter months. It made me smile.
Blessings,

Oh, I love this Jen! That red Gingham is perfect!!! This card is making me dream of spring!!! The clip is such a great embellishment! Such a happy card!
I love the Spring feel to this card Jennifer – just what we all need! The little bow clip looks so cute too; I have a pot of these that are seriously underused, so you’ve now given me the motivation to add a few to my new season cards.
