Looks Like Spring?

Still time to enter Design Time Thursday Challenge HERE for your chance to win one of Emma's Stamp Set.
I used my NEW Copic Markers and Free Stamp Set from Close to My Heart.  I also used Picturesque Cricut cartridge to cut the Laurel around the bunny.  I used a Cuttlebug Textile Pattern embossing Folder for the background texture and some new lacy ribbon from American Crafts.

Talk Time Tuesday:  Does it look like Spring where you are?  It was snowing and hailing today in Utah. Luckily it didn't stick, but its still feels cold and wet and I am SO READY for SPRING!!  I made this card to enter in a couple of Springtime Challenges:  Scrapbookaholic By Abby Challenge #2
   Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #53 Looks Like Spring
 and thought I would be fun to hear if anyone has Springtime weather where they live.  So make us all jealous ladies and let us know where the weather is beautiful and the flowers are blooming.  If you would like to share a Springtime Project then post one below.  I will be giving a Prima Paper Pad to one lucky random winner that posts a comment to this post. 
The winner of last week's TTT is:

That is awesome! I am NOT a sewer, so the concept of faux stitching was entirely lost on me when I thought it had to be done with a needle and thread. I love that you can just use a pen and stencils! TFS!! I am always
interested in anything to do with the cricut. I'm still figuring mine out. So any info on that is always great!
Email me your Snail Mail to receive your Nikki Sivils Prize-Congrats!!!!

I love the embossing on the bunny card and all the details! The colors have a very springy feeling and that bunny is adorable!! Great coloring (I need practice with that)! I really wish it looked and felt like Spring around here! At least the sun is shinning so we'll take it! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thanks for telling me about your challenge. We had snow last week and it's been colder and very windy in upstate NY this week. I've been telling the kids that March is mixed up this year and going out like a lion instead of like a lamb.

Oh yeah I also wanted to say that I like the new look of the blog.

I just love your bunny card...the coloring is wonderful and the colors are so springy!! No spring-like weather here in New England...highs in the 40's...ugh! But, miraculously, my crocuses are blooming...really! TFS!

Cute card! Thanks for sharing.

We have spring weather, in fact it's almost summer weather here as we are about to hit 97 degrees by the end of the week. And allergy season is in full bloom. I'd be happy to send you some of our hot sun if I could. Please take it - it's too early to be this close to triple digits! LOL.
