The challenge this week at Scrap, Stamp & Doodle Saturday is Spring has Sprung! Has it sprung where you are? Not so much here...but rumor has it we don't really get a spring. It kinda goes from snow to summer! Oh summer, please get here! ;)
I keep my card sweet and simple this week. I just love the look of pink and green on kraft paper!
I hope you play along! There is a great prize for the winner, so check the blog for all the details!

Great card Sio! Love the button flowers! And kraft is my fav! I am with you on Japan... it is so said to see the devastation and think of those still missing.
I have been thinking about you with the earthquake in Japan and then wondering if a tsunami would hit Alaska as it went to the other side of the ocean. This is a cute card! And for our challenge tomorrow I finally got up my courage to use that stamp you sent me from Japan a while back . . . I was always afraid to try to color it! So pretty!
Great card! I love pink & green on kraft cs too! Love the flowers nd thoughts of spring! We sure could use it!
I can't imagine how you must feel having just lived there. I'll continue to keep the Japanese people in my thoughts and prayers for sure.
I love this happy spring card. I'm always a softy when it comes to kraft, and I love it here with those pretty spring colors!

Thought of you immediately upon hearing the news of Japan's disaster. I know part of your heart remains there, so just wanted to let you know I'm praying for the country, and for you...

What a great card. I love pink & green together and adding it to kraft I think makes it an even better color combo! I feel so bad for everyone in Japan and all that they are going through. I hope all of your friends that are still there are safe. (((hugs)))
