Let There Be Spring! - Kitchen Sink Stamps

This week's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design was inspired by the latest cold front that just blew through our parts of Texas!! It almost never freezes in Texas in March, and yet here it is ice cold again!

We are all looking forward to the warmer days of spring with all their colorful flowers and gentle temperatures. It will arrive soon and pass all too quickly!

This card uses images from  Spring Daffodils, Clay Pots, Bold 4 Seasons Greetings, and Honey Bunny.

Let There Be Spring - KSS

I took my parents out for a Sunday drive yesterday afternoon to see if we could spot any Texas bluebonnets or Indian paintbrushes growing along the highway. We weren't too sure what our recent week of hard freeze would do to this year's crop of wildflowers. Along the highway, we found a tiny bunch of about 6 Indian paintbrushes and not a single bluebonnet. Then we turned off the main highway onto our favorite country road, and we were rewarded with acres and acres of bluebonnets! What a delight! I am sure we will visit them again in another week or two when they are in full bloom! 

Those beautiful blossoms inspired today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design! I call this card "Songs of Spring." Those gorgeous blue flowers certainly made my heart sing!

Pull Out Your Boots - Here Comes Beta!

Although fall is arriving this week, hurricane season is still going strong. Here on the Texas Gulf Coast we are preparing for the landfall of Tropical Storm Beta later today.

For today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design, I thought it appropriate to pull out their Cowboy Boots since I may need mine to wade through the waters that should be drenching us throughout the day. I hope I don't have to chase my garbage can down the street.
