As I was reading the paper this morning, the sun was shining and I could hear birds singing! Then my husband pointed out that the jonquils are starting to peak up from the ground. How refreshing after what has seemed like a long winter. That's the great thing about Spring--so many new beginnings. And speaking of new beginnings, we will be attending the wedding of a special couple in mid-March, so this was the perfect time to try to create their wedding card using the Stampin' Up! Pretties Kit. This kit contains many embellishments including hat pins with clutches; various flowers that can be dyed to coordinate with SU's exclusive colors; pearls; rhinestone brads and more. The wedding colors are pale yellow and brown, so I used Barely Banana, Chocolate Chip & Shimmery White cardstock together with Chocolate Chip Ink and ribbon. The heart image is from the Ever After stamp set and the greeting is from the Special Blessings stamp set--both of which are in the 2010 Idea Book & Catalog. And of course--the hat pin with pearls and other beads. Well, I better begin doing something around the house--LOL! Have a great day and find yourself some stampin' time.
