Had a couple of people inquire about the festivities...I printed out my story on the Feb 1st page. I think this whole month is very much about gratitude for what I have been given and reaching out to those around me who were so very nice to me at a very hard time. Once I was so much better and so clearly blessed, I truly feel the need to give back and do some amount of outreach to those around me, both those in my day to day life as well as those in my "internet" life.
It makes me think of a song (hymn) called Freely, Freely
Chorus: Freely, Freely, You have received
Freely, Freely Give
Go in my name and because you believe
Other will know that I live
I have been given so very much. Now I should give back

Lovely card.
In the Netherlands Spring is already starting. Birds everywhere, little buds on all the plants. We didn't have a winter this year. A little frost but that's all. But... 2 more months to go that can change all that.
Great sunny card! Well,I live in the Netherland and don't know were Rovianne lives,but here all upnorth,there is no sign of spring yet,and here we did have a winter with snow!So yes,a sunny card brightens my day :) I like the hym!
Well... here in Brazil it's pretty warm right now....I like that way!!! ;)
Fun card, Holley! Looove the sentiment...

Love your sunny and bright beach card. Live in Southern California so we get nice weather most of the time. We do need rain badly. Liked the die cut you used and the mini red umbrellas.

the card is just great! I miss the summer, although I think spring is just starting :)
Hi Holley,
Such a sunny uplifting card. Its been extremely wet and windy this winter more than cold. I can't wait till Spring is here.

Beautiful & warm. Those hit with the severe cold will yearn for spring seeing your card.
One of my favorite hymns! I hear ya! Blessings abound in our lives, and sometimes we take them for granted until a catastrophic event comes along and reminds us how lucky we are to be alive. I also hear you about all the nice people you meet. The doctors and nurses at Memorial Herman hospital in Houston must be the nicest people in the world imho! I have seen such kindness and love from the most unexpected places in the last 14 years! There is always someone to restore my faith in humanity.
what a nice summer theme on your card! It is cold in Siberia today, all is frozen and windy...
I love to see your creative project)
wow! It is so nice and joyful! very beautiful card!
Ahh this is so sweet...
Well, I definitely wouldn't mind some sun. However this card this brightrn my day, because it's so summery (is this even a word?).
Hugs! xx
Could really use that card today as we are in another winter storm til at least 6pm.

I'm one of the few that is not quiet ready for spring or summer to begin. Here is California it has been way too warm for winter. And we need the rain. But I know for others they are really craving the sunshine. Your card really bring that to all of the sun lovers. I love the little umbrella's.
What a great card to make us long for hot summer days. We've had quite a mild winter, lots of rain and winds, but there's still time to get cold. I hope not though
Am loving the weather here right now. Nice and warm, but summer is just around the corner and will be too warm. lol Oh well!

Cute card! This would be a day brightener for any of us here in the north. I love the little resin accents. I always struggle with how to use them.
This is what I should be doing this afternoon, but it is too hot and I am too old.
love it.

Love the hot summer theme to your card, and that image is so cute. Thanks for the inspiration!
I am ready for some summer! Here in Alaska it's been unseasonably warm at home most of this year. But here at work (Prudhoe Bay) it's -41F today!!
Love this card - it's another one I can see making for a friend.

This is fab Holley, so much fun, love how you`ve coloured her hair xxx
Beautiful card with bling in just the right places!
This card warms me up for sure!
How Cute! It's a perfect spring break card.
Cute card. Love how you colored her hair.
Beautiful card Holley - thanks for sharing it with us on the Sassy Studios fan page. Michelle Sassy Studio Designs DT.
Lovely card, but I can't say I envy her - sitting in the sun is my idea of misery! It's so much easier to deal with cold weather, although our recent UK weather, (rain, more rain and even more rain, leading to floods) has been quite depressing.
Beautiful image. Card well executed. Great design, embellishment and color choices!
Cute card. We've had such a cold winter but temps are in the forties today so maybe Spring is on the way.

This card reminds me of the beach gals here in Florida. Thanks for sharing the Hymn I have not heard it in many years, it brought back many good memories!
This is gorgeous. I could use some sun here.
Boy does this card make me wish winter was over. Great image, beautifully colored. I love the cut out background and the umbrellas. Wonderful summer card!
Holley - I have been blessed, too. With the doctors that took care of my husband. Glad your surgery has been successful. Audrey R in austin
Such a cute image! We need this kind of beachy weather here in NE Ohio, where it has been snow, snow, and more snow this winter!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I think I already commented but after seeing this again today I just had to say I love it again!! LOL The colors you used are perfection!
lovely card and quite fitting for how i am feeling, and yes i am dreaming of some warm weather, it can't come soon enough for me i am so over this cold,
Yes I am missing summer It really can not return fast enough for me :) Lovely card.
Another great card.
I could stand for a little more of the cooler days myself - it'll be high summer here in Texas before you know it! Love this card - very sassy image, and those umbrella bits are too cool!
This summer card.I hope summer come because I dont like winter.
