One reason we love spring so much is the view that embraces us as soon as we step outside. And now that the season has officially begun, why not put some of what you see onto your scrapbook pages? Kim Watson illustrated that spring feeling on her layout by including a warm fuzzy (literally!) sun and a flying kite. The cute trees and bird remind us of how spring sounds, a perfect complement to the photos of Kim's family enjoying a nice day outdoors.

On her layout, Kathie Link takes us out into a lovely garden. The fussy-cut pots, vintage fence, flowers, and butterflies frame the photos as if the embellishments are just an extension of the yard in the pictures.

And check out this layout by club member bfran55. Her die-cut elements create a beautiful picture to be the backdrop of her story. Way to go!
