Love Bird

I realized that I had this adorable image from Mo Manning and I printed it along with a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I thought this would be nice to send to my parents for Valentine's Day.

There is no man like a SNOWMAN

This is a one of the newer snowmen from Bugaboo from the Goofy Snowman Set and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  Today I dealt with both my ex husband and ex finance so I will just say that I say that I really like this sentiment, and it sums up my life right now, LOL.  I actually went to take some chocolate chip banana bread for my best friend who had surgery on Friday and she was with her grandsons and I got hugs and kisses from a 3 and 6 year old and there was no expectations with it so it was a great, hehe.
I put Stickles on the snow on the ground and Sakura glitter jelly pen on the snowflakes in the sky.

LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind 1Corinthians:13

Well, I actually wanted to clean my craft room tonight; however, I played instead....naughty.  This is the last card that I made.  It is using a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I then put a bunch of pearls on a Spellbinder and it was fun.

Happy Cuddling Weather

We keep having such unusual weather....one minute it's raining and then the next it's snowing so we just have a MESS!  So I think it is best to just stay inside and cuddle since the roads have ice and the temps are going up and down.  So I made this card, using the adorable Polar Bear from Bugaboo and a sentiment from TLC, Create.

Bring a song to your heart

Since I mailed out around 100 Christmas cards, I figured I better get started on making my stash for the upcoming year.  So I had this image colored from Lili of the Valley - Christmas Robin and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  I used both a Marvy and Liquid Applique for the snow on the branches.  The brown paper is embossed.  We are actually getting some snow right now.
