Spring Bloom Crafty CardMy friend recently moved to Portland, Oregon and has been suffering through what is, for a California girl, a long, cold winter. In her mind, April signals that the end is in sight. I haven't had the heart to tell her that the "end" probably won't come until mid-July. Instead, I thought I'd brighten her day with a card from the HP Activity Center.

I chose the Spring Bloom Crafty Card for a couple of reasons:
a) The spring theme and perky colors fit the mood I am hoping to convey.
b) It has the word "crafty" in the title. I am not crafty, but I thought I'd try to defy odds (and personal history) and see if I can pull off this project.

Turns out, this card was really easy to make. Besides the basic card, there are a variety of embellishments you can add to spruce things up. I chose to use some of the embellishments as well as one of my own photos to add a more personal touch.

There is some double-sided printing involved in this project, so you'll need to read the instructions on the site to make sure you print correctly. Or, you can do what I did, which was not read the instructions, print it backwards, stomp my foot in anger, then start over. The choice is yours.
