Another Beautiful Season

  This LO is based on the February week 2 sketch from Let's Get Sketchy. It was a great sketch that came together really quickly! We have had so much snow this winter and as much as I don't enjoy having to drive in it, it really has given me opportunities to take some really incredible pictures! The picture in this LO is of one of the our flowering crab apple trees in our yard. I loved the contrast between the red berries and white snow!
