Let it Snow

 You can find my InStyle Stamps blog hop post here.

This is a quick post before we go out ... lots to do today.  The mum of one of the minded children is opening her deli today so we are off to buy goodies, and later it is ellie's birthday party.

I have struggled getting this card done due to slicing the top of my right thumb almost off ... note to self ... sharpen knives by all means but be warned theat they then will be SHARP!!!!

OK here is the card ... very simple by request, and NO embellies (boo hiss!!)
It is for these challenges -
Craft Your days Away - texture
Simon Says Stamp - let it Snow
One Stop Craft challenge - Christmas Cutie
Wild Rose Studio - sketch and blog hop.

Milton is coloured using my pens and then I aded glamour dust and fluffy stuff (texture).  I used just 1 sheet of dp (Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses) and matted it onto blue cardstock.  I stamped a Hero Arts sentiment to look like continuos text ribbon.

Right off out as hubby is getting fidgety waiting for me.
