Spring is in the Air

  .... well that's what some people, somewhere in the world are saying 'cause it's not here!!!!  It's more like winter brrrrrr!
Anyway, to bring a little colour into my life I made this card for my mammy's birthday today.  I dug out (literally) my Euphoria paper pad, a pad that I haven't used for ages and I forgot just how much I love it.

A touch of spring

Woohooo, I can't believe it, spring is here and the fields have just turned a little greener so fingers crossed we'll have grass for the cattle soon. I'm sure they're just dying to get out of the smelly shed and run around the fields. It's really funny to watch them when they first get out, even the big fat cows run, jump and kick their back legs out. There's quite a few challenges with the theme of 'spring', and as I had to make a card for a friend I decided to play along with that theme.
