A balmy Saturday

Crazy Wisconsin weather ~~ can you believe after all the snow & freezing temps we've had the last few weeks ~~ it is now 52 degrees?!?!??? And it's only 9 in the morning!! It's not supposed to get *much* warmer ~~ I think 55 is the high for today ~~ but how unreal is that? So NOW I can see patches of grass in our yard. Believe me, if we had no more snow for the rest of the winter I'd be fine with that!

Well, I finally had time to make a Christmas card!!!! What??? You mean Christmas is over?? Drat!!! Well, I guess I'm getting a jump on next year's cards!!


There were just so many Christmas stamps I didn't even get to use, including this cutie from High Hopes, Santa's Helper. I've always loved this stamp & finally ordered it from Tina. I didn't have time to use him before Xmas, so here he is now!! He's colored with Prismas & gamsol & has Stickles on his hat. Used lots of Basic Grey Wassail & SU's Cranberry Crisp, & my Nesties for the layers. The white layer behind the BG is Bazzill Bling, & I also punched a flower from that & sponged the edges with CC. The glass of milk is embossed with clear EP, I couldn't quite capture that in the photo. Added a Prima & a sparkly snowflake in the center, some pseudo Dew Drops & I was done ~~ my first Christmas card for 2009 :)



I also made a Hanglar card last night that I will share tomorrow. Yep, I made 2 cards IN ONE DAY!!! See how much I get done when hubby goes fishing? LOL!! Today I'm taking Matthew bowling with the Cub Scouts, then on to basketball. Grocery shopping on the way home, & oh how I hope I can scrounge up some leftovers because by that time I'll be too tired to cook!! Have a great Saturday, I know it will be nice for us not to have to put on layers of clothes before heading out today!!!!
