It's March and Spring is in the Air when a young man's fancy turns to fishing and a young girl's fancy turns to a new wardrobe!!! Ok, maybe not but there are so many things out that there to symbolize Spring Has Sprung ....

For my card I decided to use the awesome Emily Rainy Days from Lacy Sunshine and she's in the retired digi for only 1$$$  how awesome right?!?  She's totally fabulous to represent spring
For this card I used paper from MME- Moments.  I used my label 8 and decorative label 8 as well as my scallop and classic circle from Spellbinder.  I added a ribbon from my stash and a charm a little umbrella fitting right?!?  

Here's a closer look at the digi and the sentiment that I can no longer find in my directory :(  so this time no idea the author and really upset because this means that I will no longer be able to use it...   If you do know please let me know.

To me nothing says spring more than Spring showers ;)  And soooooo looking forward to showers instead of SNOW!!!!!  Got over 1 foot this week :(
