Wow! Is it almost Wednesday already?? Time sure does fly when you have to shovel a lot of snow!!! Heehehee! We actually ended up with quite a bit of snow...more than they predicted! My DH and I snuck away for a much needed little weekend get-away...and we BARELY made it out!! We drove through five foot drifts in more than one place! Then, we weren't sure we were going to make it home as they closed all of the roads within a 70 mile radius of our house! Thankfully, we did make it safely home. We have to be prepared for winter weather early here...but I don't think anyone was expecting this much winter weather so quickly!! LOL!
In keeping with the winter theme :-), I put together a simple but fun Christmas card. I wanted to use my new snowman stamp (from Rubber Soul)...but wanted to keep my layout fairly simple (and easy to mass produce). So, I used my Mile High Alphabet set to spell the word "Joy" (with the snowman standing in for the "o"). I mounted it on a piece of patterned paper (from the Winter Solstice Collection), and then added some ribbon, a Dew Drop, and of course some Stickles (what's a snowman with out sparkle??)! I was so impressed when I was at the new Rubber Soul website...and just had to share about it! They have not only re-vamped their site...but have added tons of new products!! I still have some of the brand new Wordsworth Remembering sets that I can't wait to ink up (I love the unique quotes and beautiful fonts), and plan to do so very soon! :-)
OH...I will be posting a whole list of retired Stampin' Up! sets very soon! I will have a link to a new page withing a day or so...so keep checking back! :-) ~Laurie
