Monday Montage #36

Happy Monday Montage Day!!! I have just been ACHING to use this Lotus Blossom Photopolymer Set (now available during the Sale-a-Bration promo!)! It's absolutely GORGEOUS!!

I love the combo of black and white with one other color ... and yellow has just been calling my name lately (to be more precise, I used Hello Honey and So Saffron). This winter's weather has been SO UBER WEIRD!! It's almost like it has been winter trying to turn to spring ... we've had a few bouts of FREEZING and SUB-FREEZING temperatures (along with some snow), but mostly we've been very mild ... in the 30's and 40's even!!! I have been LOVING it!!! (It's especially great for running, but I digress ...)
