It stopped raining long enough for me to get out in the front yard and photograph the first signs of Spring at our house!
The daffodils bloomed about a week ago and I have been waiting for some nice light ever since – to show off their wonderful sunshine color. They are the first cheery signs of a change in the season…
See the nice, even, bright color? Contrary to what you would think, wait for an overcast day with nice even light. Bright sunlight would not have worked here. These pix are straight out of the camera.

I love the contrast of the bright yellow against the brick and the green:
Here is a close up of one of my prized Nikko Blue Hydrangea blooms left over from last year. They say not to prune them…so I didn't. Love love love the texture of this:
The sure sign that more gorgeous blue hydrangeas are on the way! Yippee!
So, all this Spring folly sparked my creative juices in the craft room. I have been waiting for the right opportunity to use my new bird/branch punch from Stampin' Up and the new Memory Box Papers. The key to this card? Lots and lots of layers….
Close up of my little birdie friend:
Some of the supplies:
I hope Spring is headed your way too – especially my friends on the East Coast. Have a wonderful week ahead. Take care.
