It Snowed?!

It's Monday and the kids are home from school because it "snowed". Snow is in quotes because it's like just two inches on the ground. Yeah, there is some ice too but up north they only closed the school if it was -32 or colder. -31 and the kids were going to school. O.K., that may be an exaggeration. You get the point. It will take me a while to get used to things down here. O.K, I'll stop whining.

I created a handmade paper bow I saw on someone else's blog that I will put up tomorrow (and I'll link you to her blog for the exact directions). I love the fact that you can make a card then make a bow that matches it perfectly! But that is for tomorrow (mainly 'cause I need to make the card. But we aren't going to talk about that 'cause my day isn't going as planned anyway...).

O.K., without further ado, here is the second card I made for my aunt to send out as a thank you. This one is fairly simple but I really like how it came out. My aunt just received the package of cards and said she loves what I created - how awesome is that! She gave the first card away and the recipient loved it which makes me feel good!

I used Graphic 45 papers, Bazzil card stock, SU! "thank you" stamp and a little bit of bling to finish it off. I'm still working on lighting for my pictures - wish me luck in finding the right formula!

Thanks for stopping by and hope your day is a crafty one,

M.J.
