The sun has been shining and there has been a delightful arm breeze.   Yes -  I think it's time for the wonderful Spring weather to being in my neck of the woods!  

For my creation,  I created a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 top-folding card base.   I used a red-orange cardstock for my base layer and selected the designer paper from  the Blazing Poppy Collection.

The flowers were created from theBlazing Poppy Petals Cling Stamp Set and the Blazing Poppy Petals Die.    I added some round styrofoam flour center that I painted with black acrylic paint.   The leaves were from the Classic Leaf Cling Stamp Set and the  Classic Leaf Die.   I added the sentiment "Thankful" from chipboard from iCrafts.  As for my final touch, I aded some special sparkle to the petals with Rajni Chawla's Crystal  Clear!

And now for the Hop... 
You will want to comment on as many as possible and you may be the lucky winner!
