Snow Birds

Hello,  are you still picking up wrapping paper, washing dishes, rearranging furniture? 


If so, STOP IMMEDIATELY and go to your crafty area, you deserve some "me" time today!!

you will have to scroll down a couple of posts, as her blog doesn't allow for linking to posts directly.

just a quick down and dirty card

I had started this card a few weeks back, I finally finished it, it wasn't until I went into the file (after scanning it) that I noticed some "white spots" in my coloring.
so it is definitely NOT my best work, but I still think it is a cute card! It is for OWH and therefore i know it will be appreciated anyway. :)
