Spring has Sprung

     Hello, it is the first full weekend of spring and it is completely overcast outside.  So I have been making cards today.  Yesterday I went to my card club, I can't tell you how much I enjoy that fellowship each month and we actually make some beautiful cards. !!! BONUS!!!  My inspiration for the cards you are about to see came from all over, card club, pinterest, etc. ,  As always I adapt them to the products I have on hand and the colors I like.  I hope you like what you see and if you have any questions I try to check the blog often to answer as many as I can.

The card base is an A2 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  The crisp cantaloupe is 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 for large. and 2 7/8 x 3 3/4 for small, the DSP 4 x 5 1/4, the small black is 2 3/4 x 3 5/8. and the white 2 5/8 x 3 1/2.
