Kaleidoscope

Every spring my grandson's school has an big event called Kaleidoscope which is a major fundraiser for the year. They have among other things a silent auction. My daughter asked me to make some cards for the event so for the next few weeks, I will be showing you what I have come up with. This one was made with PaperTrey Inks anniversary set from last year. I used Memento inks on the flowers, Lady Bug and Tangelo. The background is a Cuttlebug embossing folder and the ribbon and ribbon center are from my stash.

I am reading another good book by Lisa Scottoline called Save Me. You may want to check it out at Amazon and see if it is something you would like to get from you library.

Is spring finally here? I have seen plenty of robins lately. The weather is warming a bit. We occasionally are having some very nice days and then they slip back into the 40's but that is normal. What was not normal was the winter we just had. If every winter was like that one, I would not complain at all! I hope those that have been in the line of the spring storms are all safe. How frightening that must have been for all involved.

My count down has begun - only 56 more working days until I retire. Look out world, here I come!

Until next time, happy trails to you....
