Hi all!  What a gorgeous day outside today ... it looks like Spring, but I'm not sure it feels it yet!!  It's chilly out there!  The wind is tough when walking my pups!!I want to share a closeup of the card we created the other day in my Happy Easter 2016 card class.  It features the single Easter stamp, Easter Lamb, and is just so adorable!!  This card was cased from Hélène den Breejen on Pinterest.  I decided to change it up just a bit with my DSP mat...
