Hello everyone and a hearty welcome to the April Diva Inspirations Blog Hop!!!
My how the time goes by right?! I can't believe it...school is starting back up for me on Monday....yikes!!!! I can't believe my short little break is over already!!! A week and a half off is really not enough to recover after all that hard work....buuut what can you do. Back to the world of polygons and design!!!

On Monday that is....today we have our wonderfully inspiring Blog Hop and best of all....like last month...there's a little mystery prize hidden somewhere along the hop spots today!!!! All you have to do is leave a little comment and you're entered to win a $30 gift certificate to Verve!!! And with the cuties in the new release who doesn't want a little extra cash right?! So I'm guessing you've been happily hopping along from Shannan's blog right?! If not...then I highly suggest you hop to Julee's blog because that's where all the yummy eye candy starts!!!

oh let me talk just a short little bit about my card here: I used the gorgeous flower stamps from the set Happy Days. The sentiment is from the set Happy Hello. My papers are actually digi papers from a special edition mini kit by Zoe Pearn at SweetShoppe.com....love her style!!!

    Your card reminds me of our slow turn from winter to spring. The snow is melting, the grass is soft green, the sky is blue grey, but the promise of spring is there. Your soft choice of colors, that have the promise of vibrance, is so poetic. Lovely spring card.
