Warm Wishes from the Tundra.....

It is COLD here!  Like negatives and single digits cold!  Brrrr....not a fan.  But, tomorrow and Saturday are supposed to warm up into the 20's and low 30's....so it is practically going to be balmy! :)  Good thing...we are headed to the Griz game on Saturday.

I have a few cards to share with you tonight!  I saw that American Crafts was doing a holiday card challenge on their blog, and all you had to do was use two of their products.  Perfect time to break out some of the Merrymint line that I have and make some cards!!

First up is this one, which is also based on the bonus sketch at 2 Sketches 4 U this week.  I have plans to use the main sketch too...this one just happened first this week!

Card Instructions: Fold dotted paper in half to make your card base.  Add rub-ons to the lower right corner of a block of white cardstock, and emboss a border around the edges using a Scor-Pal.  Adhere the block to the front of the card.  Add red paper frill to the bottom of a strip of house paper and adhere to the front.  Accent the snow on the house paper with glitter Stickles.  Accent the card with jewels and pearls.

And look at what I found while surfing the net this week:

Eeeeeek!!  YAY!  I want to go see New Moon again while it is still in the theater...with a better seat this time.  I loved it though....very excited to see the next one too!

Well, I better get going for now.  Going to watch Casey play basketball tomorrow afternoon in Drummond, and then they are coming home with us for the night because it is a lot closer than going home.  Casey also has ACT's in the AM here in Missoula, and then another game in Drummond.  We are going to miss that one because we are going to the Griz game!!  Pretty excited about that...saw online today that they were putting up lights for the game.  It starts at 2pm, but the sun sets here around 4:30pm.  So, they had to bring in the lights.  Hope the Griz play like they did last week...they were on fire!

Oh.....my turquoise laundry pair was delivered and installed yesterday!  I LOVE them!!  I did laundry in record time yesterday, and they get everything SO clean!  Love....love....love them! ♥

Until later,
