Time Shared

Looks like Mother Nature will be giving us a wee break this weekend...temperatures should rise to just above freezing.  With luck, some of my ice will melt, and with more luck....perhaps we won't get another dumping of snow or freezing rain!  I really believe in sharing, and would love to send our winter weather to someone who thinks they would like to experience it.  Too bad it doesn't work that way.


So, back to the real world and my attempt to think nice spring thoughts with a card.  Today I've coloured up a LOTV image, titled Times to Treasure.  It's one of those images that could be used for many occasions, maybe even Valentine's Day.  Coloured with copics, it's matted with one of the awesome dies from Cheery Lyn...Ankara Lace.  A few pearls, a bit of ribbon, a flower and an embossed backing paper and I'm done.  I think I feel warmer already!  lol

Take care now, stay warm and think spring!
