Wow, what a tough winter we've had! If you're like me, you're ready for some warmer weather! I'm dreaming of warmth, sunshine, flowers, and even rain! Yes, yes, I know - why am I thinking of rain?! I guess, because it means Spring brings lots and lots of rain! I'm ready for a change in weather - I'm so sick of the cold, snow and ice, aren't you?! Rain is nice, too, sometimes - Especially nice to sleep when it rains - It's so relaxing to me!

Anyway, let me stop babbling and start telling you all about our new challenge at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog! Since we're all thinking about spring, now, let's see some flowers! That's right - Our theme is to add some flowers.  A perfect challenge theme for this time of year, don't you think?

My card uses the image Lilac Flower Pot Pretties, from Lacy Sunshine. I went with papers in purples, to go along with the Lilacs in the image. I used a mixture of patterns, including stripes and polka dots. Glittered purple ribbon accents the center of the card. I used purple gemstones in the upper right corner. I used the Martha Stewart  branch punch to punch out some greenery and made a vine on the bottom half of the card. I used glittered flowers, with gemstone centers, from the Paper Studio, along the vine.
