Really.....

 We woke up this morning and a Winter storm was issued, yesterday buses were cancelled due to the freezing rain, REALLY, were would spring be. So it just seemed so appropriate to create a card with the weather in mind and a challenge. Winter Wonderland has a challenge up and is to create a card with no red or green. I can do that! I just purchased this wonderful die from Crealies called creative flowers #18. Love Love it...it is a flower but when you place them all together they look like snowflakes!
I am doing this card and another one for a class in May...it is going to be my Christmas in May card class. I will be stress free Christmas card making....in the spring. Hope you will join us at One Crazy Stamper. Now, its not up on the Event calendar just yet. Lora is at Scrapfest this weekend, so when she comes back she can add it to the class calendar.
Lots of glitter and coloured with prismas it is such a fun card to do. I love the High Hopes stamp too. Also from One Crazy Stamper. It is called, Havin a ball, Snowman. Not sure if I can say I'm having a ball with this weather, but I am having fun getting some Christmas cards done.

Also a big hello to Marianne! She will be so happy I joined in this week! And big thank-you to Norma for always inspiring me to do wonderful things with dies! Thank-you Norma!

Oooh this is so pretty. I love your stepped shape and sweetly coloured snowman with the pretty papers and fab snowflake flowers. Your black elements really make this card a beauty! Hope your weather improves Christine! Hugs, Lesley
