You're Tweet

Hello my crafty friends! Happy Friday! It's been raining a lot here, which is absolute heaven for me. I've always been partial to crappy weather for some reason. However, when it comes to my crafting, I'm definitely more partial to Spring/Summer themes & colors. This card reflects one of my favorite Spring color palettes....
