    That is my FAVORITE Sell-A-Brate item from the catalog! I would love to win. So cool that you have created a card with an Easter set but in a color scheme that’s not typical of Easter cards.

    Thanks for the giveaway and have a great weekend!

    you probably won’t believe me but today is like a spring day here. The mountains have a fresh covering of snow but the sky is light blue with wispy white clouds and it must 13 – 15 degrees (celsius) but there are no apple blossoms yet- just crocuses. we’re supposed to get the snow on Sunday.
    Your card is lovely. I think I am becoming partial to silhouette cards.
