Secret Garden - Just Because - Freshly Made Sketch Challenge #73

I am so anxious to get out in my garden, but there's a whole lot of winter to get through yet.  Tomorrow its supposed to snow again!!!  The mild weather we have experienced over the last couple of days is just Mother Nature's way of either fooling us or giving us a taste of things to come. Just because the weather has been mild doesn't mean spring is around the corner; Just because the days are getting longer doesn't mean summer is coming any faster; Just because.........
I made this card for the Freshly Made Sketch challenge here and the card looks so summery it made me a bit nostalgic and the sentiment is quite fitting - Just Because!
