I can remember! When I was little I used to make cards with construction paper. I'd paper piece little Christmas scenes. There would be a fireplace with pieces of pine straw for the logs and a Christmas tree with an easy chair next to it. I started card making when my son was born in 2001, it all started from making his birth announcement. Then I began scrapbooking in 2003.

Spring! I love this time of year when the trees bud their leaves, birds nest, flowers bloom and the days become warmer and longer. And we get to celebrate my birthday, our wedding anniversay and our son's birthday in the springtime.
