Life is good.

I love and hate Spring. I have awful, severe allergies. I actually haven’t had symtoms like this in years. When I was a kid, my allergies would flare up right around grass cutting/tree flowering/ garden planting time. I thought I had outgrown it, but apparently I have not!

As I type, I am sitting here with a rash all over my face, my ears, nose and throat itch, along with my back. I am so sneezy and runny it’s just awful!

I haden’t felt inspired to blog in days, so I didn’t post. I didn’t stamp all week either. Luckily, I stamped yesterday so, I can resume some more regular blogging.

I decided to pull out my Island Blossoms Set. I haven’t used it in ages. At least these flowers don’t make me sneeze!

I forgot all about my long notes! I had to pull them out. The base is Cool Caribbean, the mat is Real Red and a scrap of SU! Designer paper (I don’t remember what pack it came in, sorry!). I stamped Island Blossoms on Shimmer White. I used Cool Caribbean Classic ink, and VersaMagic Inks in Red Magic, Key Lime and Straw.  The flowers are cut, layered and popped up with glue dots. I wanted the envelope to coordinate with the card so I added some small blossoms to that. I used some red stitched ribbon scraps to finish the card off.

I hope you are all keeping the sneezies at bay! And if you aren’t you can always enjoy the flowers via stamping like I do.
