Spring Arrives in Texas

Texans know that spring has truly arrived when the Texas roadsides are blanketed with bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes. Last week in my neck of the woods, the paintbrushes showed up and this week the bluebonnets are beginning to appear. If you want to see our grand state covered with glorious wild flowers, this is the time of year to hit the road.

To honor this annual arrival of our state flower, I have used Kitchen Sink Stamps' Multi Step Bluebonnets to create my 10 minute and 20 minute cards.  (Post sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps).
