Hello! This one may be short and sweet. :) I'll be back in awhile with more to say.

Chrissy,
Your cards are gorgeous. I am so glad I don't have to choose between the 2 of them. Did you color the flower center on the bottom one? It is cold here today too. -3.5. Not a clue what the windchill factor is. Don't want to know. LOL

Although the top card is adorable, it reminds me too much of winter. It's way too cold here in MN.
