Great Impressions –Build a Snowman

I worked on some Christmas cards this weekend.  Somehow, it just felt wrong when it is 90-degrees out. But, Christmas is coming fast.  (As my cousin pointed out, there are only 120 days until Christmas.  Yikes!)   

The card I am sharing with you today uses Build a Snowman (F251) and Season’s Greetings (C427) from Great Impressions Stamps.   If you know me, you know I have a weakness for snowmen so I had to add this stamp to my collection. 

 

 

We celebrated my birthday this weekend.  I had a great time with my family.  On Friday, my daughter and I went shopping and had a really fun day.  On Saturday, my DH and daughter took me out to eat.  Of course it was Italian food, my favorite.  Then we went to the Safe House.   I’ll keep my secrets of our outing to myself, but if you are ever visiting Milwaukee, it is worth a visit. 

Well, I had better get started on folding laundry.  Fun, fun…  

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a fabulous week!
