Find Joy - Even After a Snow Storm!

It's Thursday, and that means a new sketch from Jen 
My card today uses a sentiment from Flourishes' Old Fashioned Florals
I am really wishing for a warmer Spring right now, 
and lots of flowers in my garden.

I stamped the sentiment with Elegant Eggplant (SU!) ink.
I thought it was appropriate, as I looked out my window today 
and the ground is covered with snow, 
and the winds are gusting to 45 mph! 

The trims are White Mini Pom Poms and Licorice Baker's Twine.
Stamps and trims are available at
i {heart} papers!

My designer papers are from Basic Grey's Sweet Threads 12 x 12 Collection. I have so many 12 x 12 papers and never use them, 
so thought I would start making a teeny dent in that stash.
Here is this week's sketch:

    BTW, We've had our share of crazy snowy spring days here too, yuck! We've been lucky enough to break out of it finally. Hope you're experiencing lots of nice "normal" spring days real soon too!

  6. Judy: I am absolutely IN LOVE with this card. I fell in love with that same floral patterned paper. I was lucky enough to find it at Michael's on sale and got a few sheets. It's just gorgeous, and you've done an amazing job matching up all your goodies with it. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing card in our challenge this week. It's truly a blessing to have you play along with us.
    Have a blessed week!
