can i even believe it is still sweaters and windbreaker weather on june 1??? actually... yes. i can. sigh. a few years ago it snowed in june, so i suppose this is a good time to count my blessings!
since it looks like summer will never arrive - some of my trees are only juuust getting leaves - i had to take matters into my own hands. flowers i need, and so flowers there shall be. 
some made from vellum some made with some fun new stamps i just bought at my favorite store in stockholm - ljunggrens paper in the old town. the blue one is a copycat of a card with vellum flowers i saw at target and loved - they have the best cards there! who knew? i came home so revved up i decided to play with vellum and embossing powder. i wish i had noticed if there was an artist credited for the vellum cards. now that i have the knack of working with vellum (the knack lies in what kind of glue to use so that it doesnt show through), i'll step away from the copycat and make some of my own.
sure it's fun to make stuff, but it really ain't no substitute for the real thing where flowers are concerned. i'm off to spend far too much money on annuals again this year. i'm all about the instant gratification.
Vellum is the coolest stuff, isn't it?
When the snow melts, those flowers you've planted will put on such a performance!!

They are lovely, especially the shades of blue. I like making cards if you would like to pop over and take a look.
