A Thank You

I woke up to snow today!  I'm tellin ya this weather is just CRAZY!  Here in the south we don't usually get snow till later.  Weatherman is saying it's gonna warm up and then hit again on Monday.  Yeeps!


I started out putting together my card for The Hodge Podge this week and ended up with this one instead.  LOL  Does that ever happen to you?  Of course, I also finished my other card too.  Sometimes, or rather almost always for me, one idea blossoms into another.  I guess that's what creativity is all about.  Right ladies?!?  So I used my new embossing folder and it's so pretty I just couldn't bring myself to cover it up.  So I added some gems for some sparkle too.  And I had this ruffley ribbon that is so gorgeous and matched my flowers perfectly.  I decided to double up on my bows and add my pretty flower.  So here's what I ended up!  Thanks for stopping by.

  7. Lovely. I must get into these embossing folders if you can create backgrounds as pretty as this.
    Must admit I have only used my big shot so far for die cutting.
