I don't know about you, but I am ready for spring. This winter has been especially cold here in Tennessee and quite frankly, I don't care for it one bit. Now you would think it wouldn't bother me, especially since I am originally from Huntington, West Virginia, but the truth is, if it's gonna be this cold, I want lots of snow to go with it! We don't get much snow in Nashville...so now I have a little case of spring fever!
My good friend, Dana, turned 50 the other day and I needed a little something special for her. She loves to garden, but with Valentine's Day only a few days away, I didn't want to give her flowers because they are too darn expensive this time of year. When I found this adorable idea by Julia Bettencourt I knew immediately that it would be the perfect gift for a wonderful friend.
I purchased the flower pot kit from Target's Dollar Spot in Mt. Juliet
and covered the container with So Saffron Dotted Swiss DSP
from Parisian Summer (retired). The flower is made from Real Red Dotted
Swiss DSP (retired). You can see how I made the flower here. I used
three layers and added a black & white gingham brad (Hot Off The
Press). The greeting is from the "Congrats" Sell-a-bration set that you
can earn for free (for a limited time) with a $50 purchase. I finished everything off with an adorable red dotted swiss bow (Offray Ribbon) and attached it with a mini glue dot.
