A Breath of Spring....

I'm thinking that Mother Nature and Old Man Winter are getting far too chummy!   We are into another bitter cold snap and brrrrrr it's cold.  This winter seems to be never ending, and I think my memory is slipping....what does green grass look like again?  I am so sick of looking at snow and ice!


So, as a reminder to myself that flowers do grow here and little girls will be wearing pretty summer dresses again....I've had a play with this adorable image from All Dressed Up.  Lots of pink and other pastel colours to brighten the day!  (If those of you in Australia could send some heat this way...it would be much appreciated!)

Supplies used:
All Dressed Up image - I Love my Puppy
Papers from MME - Fine and Dandy Girl collection
Spellbinders die - Fleur de Lis Rectangles

Thanks again for visiting, and listening to me complain about the weather.  But really, I don't remember a winter as bad as this!
