For my sister and her husband

Hello everyone!

What a GLORIOUS day it was today--it snowed and snowed and snowed yesterday and today (I am attaching a photo of my Daisy…she was completely in her element).  Of course, getting an alert saying we are in warning of an avalanche for the last two days was quite humorous.  Even though we are the base of the Rockies, it really doesn't look like we are in danger of an avalanche!  Looking online, I found out it was in the ski slopes areas.  I am used to fire warnings, flood warning, winter weather advisories, tornado, hurricane, chinooks (high wind)…but the avalanche was a new one. :)

So, after working for about 6 hours, I needed a break and went to my art room to make a card.  I was really wanting to use the die set I treated myself with this Christmas--it's from Spellbinders.  I outlined one of the hearts with liquid pearls and added a stamp flourish from one of those dollar bin stamps from Michael's.  This one is for my sister and husband and I am entering it into the following two challenges:
Scrap It Girls': February's Challenge_Hearts
Cupboard Trilogy: Challenge 19 Love

We are expecting below zero temps this coming week.  BRRRR.  Hope everyone is staying warm.  I must admit, I'm ready for it to be spring so I can get out there and walk without freezing or slipping on this ice!  Thanks for stopping by.  :)  Margaret

Details:
Dies: Spellbinders
Stamps: G series (Dollar stamps from Michaels); Sentiment from Stampin Up
Other: Swarovski crystals, Liquid pearls



"Oh how I wish I could just stay here ALL day long and bark my head off annoying the neighbors".  LOL
