It's all Maria Gurnsey's fault! She posted this adorable card two weeks ago using Kim Hughes' new stamp set called Spring Trees. Maria and I share a love for gingham, although she is infinitely better at using it than I am! I just so loved the card she did that she forced me to order the stamps from CHF! And just to keep up, I had to dig out some gingham and make a card like hers!
Talk about a fun stamp set! And I haven't even gotten into using the cute lil' squirrel and tree stump, the mushrooms, birdies and butterflies either! If you've got stamping money burning a hole in your pocket, pick up this set!
I couldn't find a good place to put a sentiment on the outside, so I dolled up the inside instead with this row of flowers, scalloped gingham, and a sentiment from another of Kim's stamp sets! The only sentiment that Spring Trees comes with is "Welcome Spring" and right now people would think I was crazy if I used that, because spring is definitely NOT here yet!
So, as you can see... it's all Maria's fault. Careful when you visit her blog! Her cute stuff will force you to buy more stamps, too! ;)
Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!
