Let it snow!!!....
Well, I know it's January and chances are your Christmas decorations have all been put away, (my second tree is still up, but whose counting huh?) and you are heading into the New Year fast & furious and since it's 80 degrees here and snowing in the rest of the country, I needed to make myself a snowflake card to remind myself what I would give to see snow. Hey...did I just say that? I have to remember that we are headed to Chautauqua, New York in 3 short weeks for some chilly weather and lot's of snow!! I can't wait.
Anyway, this card was designed after the sketch of the month at WorldWin. Stamps are from Just Right Stamps, cardstock is from The Paper Mill Store and the Vellum and pink cardstocks are from WorldWin. Hope you enjoy!

It's really going to be cold in N.Y., try 5 degrees Thurs. and Fri. with dangerous wind chills. [8 degrees below 0, too!] Don't be discouraged, enjoy your vacation, this time of year is truly a wonderland of "white". I love your list of "done that". Great fun to read.
