Happy Monday, everyone! I don’t know about you, but come January I tend to come down with a serious case of the winter blahs. The holidays are over, yet the chilly weather and snowy days remain. What better way to lift your spirits than to get crafty with the bright, sun shiny colors of springtime and summer.
I had so much fun creating this card, and using product that truly puts a smile on my face, that I couldn't wait to spread a little bit of sunshine myself.
Just yesterday, I tucked this card into an envelope, placed a stamp on it, and dropped it into the mailbox at the end of my street. A dear friend of mine that I've been out of touch with for much too long, should be receiving a little bit of "happy mail" anytime soon.
Sometimes nothing warms the heart more than simply knowing that someone is thinking of you.
I hope you'll take me up on my challenge this week, by helping to banish the winter blahs and share a little bit of sunshine! Simply create a little card, and send a "just because" note to someone dear to your heart.
As always, we'd love to see your wonderful creations, simply link us to your design under the comment section below.
I'll be back again on Wednesday to share a closer look at my "Celebrate Spring" layout that's currently featured in the "what's next?" section of the winter issue. I'll also be sharing a springtime card that I created using all of the wonderful bits and pieces that were left on my desk after creating my design.
Have a wonderful day! :)
