Dogwood Time of Year . . .

Hello Everyone and Happy Weekend!

The weather is warming up and I think we all have a touch of Spring Fever ... I know I do!

We planted two pink dogwood trees last year and I can't wait to see how they bloom this year.

Luckily it wasn't a harsh winter so they should be okay! 

I saw a post over on the Twinkling Paper Studio blog about the 'Legend of the Dogwood' (a must read)

which put me in the mood to create a card using some springtime colors

and the beautiful Poppystamps 'Dogwood Blossom Corner' die.

I also saw that Poppystamps March Challenge at their blog is themed 'Spring Fling'

so I kept that in mind while creating today.  I was thrilled last month to see that I was

chosen the winner at the Poppystamps Challenge Blog and received

this beautiful 'Peppini Wreath' as my prize!

This is a 'simple' design for me but I think a very happy creation

and hopefully it will make someone smile on their birthday when they receive it!

I have a lot to do today (so what else is new?  lol),

As always . . .
