I'm almost afraid to say anything but I think we may be getting spring. Maybe a bit of rain later but that's okay. Upper 50's to low 60's and no snow although the weather mentioned a chance of flurries later in the week. WHAT?

 I'm making birthday cards right now. I have five birthdays in May so I need to get busy.  This is an ombre card with Stampin Up dies. Just a few sequins for bling and I love the outcome. Be kind to one another.

Love the ombre effect, Brenda, such a pretty CAS design and lovely colours. We've had a bit of a heatwave the last few days in UK but it has cooled down today.

Beautiful shades of blue, Brenda--such a pretty card! Glad you're getting a taste of Spring finally! We've actually got a taste of summer--nice for a couple days, but I really prefer mild temps, not hot!

Hi Brenda, a beautiful ombre card love the bright colour against the crisp white. Glad to hear that your long awaited spring seems to have sprung, our autumn weather is setting in, the leaves are beginning to change. Have a wonderful week... Megan

Beautiful clean and simple design. Love the ombre colors. I know it was warmer yesterday, but I was chilly in the house....guess it was from the rain. It will be nice to see some sunshine again.

Neat card...that was one die I always wanted but never bought. I am accumulated too many dies at this point. Have a great day and enjoy the weather...maybe spring has sprung finally...right?

Mmmm, my favorite shades of teal, Brenda, so I'm all aswoon over your pretty May birthday card! It's a design that would work perfectly with any age and any gender! I hope you're right about the weather. Shirley, they were kiddink about the flurries! Maybe they meant some flurries of dandelion puffs gone to seed? We'll be optometrists about it, eh? Hugs, Darnell xxoo
