celebrate today and every day



How's the weather where you live?  It was pretty nice here yesterday, but today is overcast and gloomy.  We could use some bright, springy weather, but I guess a bright, springy card will have to do instead as we are expecting rain off and on for the majority of the next couple weeks.

I absolutely love the new Year of Flowers line at Papertrey Ink.  The flowers are so pretty and I love that Nichole used the same fonts for each set so the sentiments interchange easily.  I paired the Year of Flowers: Daffodils stamp set with some lemon tart bitty dot paper and ripe avocado bitty box paper.  I colored the image with copic markers and added lots of stitching along with a couple large white buttons.

Have a wonderful day!
Niki
