Hope you’re surviving the winter. It’s been downright frigid in so many parts of the country. Here in Reno, Nevada we’ve had our share but not like many of you. Now, the wind, that’s a different story. I can’t remember when the wind has been this strong so many times in the season. Time to think spring.
I chose a simple tri-fold this month to showcase the Grow with Love bundle from Stampin’ Up! Let’s take a look.
Love, love the little envelope. Perfect for sharing a small packet of seeds. Gift cards to a favorite flower shop or nursery would fit too.

The patterned paper used in my project is from the Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper Pack. I love the pattern variations within this pack of paper. Did you notice the “texture” on the paper? It was NOT dry-embossed. It’s all part of the image. Love it!
