Merry Christmas

I seen this gorgeous picture on someone elses site and I just had to share. I hope everyone has a great Christmas. It really got here fast. We have had so much snow here in Minnesota that there is no where left to put it haha... After Christmas I have a week and then I am taking my daughter to Vegas for a week as I have said in past posts so it will be slow for me posting until I get back. Have a safe Holiday!!!!

Sunday's and Winter Storms

Wow we got hit bad yesterday 20+ inches of snow. But it's Minnesota right. Our snow blower broke today while my son was trying to get through the knee high snow and then he broke the shovel. Not his day that's for sure. Anyways here is a card I did this weekend from Mo's digital images which the card can be found on my etsy store. I colored him with copics and the paper I had laying around. I think he is so dang cute and Mo is so talented in her drawings I just love them. We were suppose to go to the Ozzy concert tonight too but guess he got an Ear Ache... LOL.

Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge PWC131

Todays Paper Pretties challenge is to use punches.This is a new image designed by Victoria Case called Love Birds. You may remember this one from her site and I posted it a few times before when I was on her DT. I have always loved this image and now it has cool little sayings also. So for the challenge my punch is the gorgeous trim from a Martha Stewart punch. I colored the image in Copics and added lacquer to the nose and flower centers and feet. The sentiment comes with the set also along with some other ones.

I only have a couple more posting for Paper Pretties along with Shirleys 2 Girls and my contract is up. It will be nice to relax again lol. I think I have 2 more weeks left after this one and then I will just be posting whatever I work on again for the weekend.

I also hit a deer on my way to work this morning I felt horrible for it. But it was either the deer or the car on either side of me. I hit it going like 55 and my airbag didn't deploy so I am thinking maybe they don't work. But I was ok I can not say that for the poor deer and my car though. Poor deer I broke it's front legs. I was freaking when I called the highway patrol and couldn't even think of what road I was on. The poor deer pulled itself up and hobbled across the road. While I was trying to point to the cop where it was at another car started watching us and hit the car in front of him who hadn't seen it stop. Needless to say the cop was busy. I did $4000 damage to my car which sucks and now my husband is going to have to drop me off before he goes to work and pick me up when he gets home so my days will be 10+ hours at work a day waiting for him :-( Anyways hope everyone else is having a good day.

My cards were real simple to do. I used my Timeless Love set which has several hearts and sayings / words and stamped those with plain black.
