Papertrey Posse Petite Challenge

Hi-ya!

How is everyone enjoying this lazy Saturday afternoon? 

I'm doing just that. And procrastinating terribly. I have a paper due tomorrow night and I'm avoiding it like the plague. 

So how about a card today?

This month Becky is our hostess over at Papertrey Posse and she's come up with two fun challenges! The first one I wanted to tackle was our Petite Challenge for the month - to make a Spring themed card.

(Psst....there's still time to play along. The challenge is open until March 31!)

If you're like me, I equate spring with rain and rain with super-cute umbrellas like these from Vera Bradley:

I pulled out my Scattered Showers set from PTI, that has been terribly neglected and got to work. 

There are a couple of new things for me on this card. I'm not one to typically fussy cut and object, but I cut out the umbrellas and was pretty happy with myself. Hand-drawn lines and frames have also been really popular in the recent past, and it's something I hadn't tried yet. I think the two lines ground the card well. I sent this card to my friend Katie. I hope it brightens her day. 

I should get to work on that paper! 

Thanks for stopping by.
