LOOKING FOR SPRING

Like most of you we have been having a slow start to spring although the next two days are supposed to be near 80-way to hot for me and this time of year.  We have been having lots of rain which is a really good thing for the grass and plants.

I have been trying to get most of the weeds out of the flower beds so I can get some mulch down.  My oldest daughter is helping me as she is opening a perennial nursery in our milk barn-fittingly called Milk House Perennials.  Her opening date is May 11 so lots to get done.  She will be selling hardy perennials-hosta, daylilies, ferns and other perennials.  We will also be having a Daylily Bloom Fest Open Garden from June 15 through July 20th. The business will then close for the summer to re-open in the fall.

Haven't done much card making but needed a baby card for a shower so made this one and put a gift card inside-simple.

I used SU Pretty in Pink for the base card.  Used a SU scallop punch in white for the baby cutout.  The cutouts were made using a Cuttlebug machine and a Provo Craft Baby die cut set.  Like using this set for baby cards as there is a good selection of dies.  The bottom was trimmed with a Martha Stewart border punch.

Will be back with more later.
