Well I thought we had dodged the bullet in Greenwood, Indiana, as far as the snowfall this winter. However, February is deciding to go out with a big BANG. On Saturday we were dealt 5-1/2 inches of snow. Okay, Boston, I know that isn't much but it is when you have a stamping class planned! Now we are expecting extreme cold for these last few days of February! But it's warm inside and my driveway and walks are all shoveled, so all is good!.
For the few who did brave the weather, this is one of the cards we made in class. It features the Celebrate Today (137138-Photopolymer) stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.
