A Letter For Santa

Hello, It has been so long since I have posted here on my blog. This year at school is beyond busy. There aren't enough hours in the day. By the time I would get home I would be so tired my creative mojo wasn't working so well and I just never seemed to be able to finish anything I started. Finally I got together with my stamping friends Pia, Michelle and Donna and my sister Peggy (Kristen we missed you!) on Saturday and boy was it great to have fun just creating and having fun! I have been dying to use this stamp since I got it and boy do I love it. It worked perfectly with these cranberry and aqua colors. I tried coloring my felt snowflakes with my Copics and it works great. I love that I can now match my snowflakes to the colors on my cards. I made this card for my neighbor because this reminds me of her little girl always wanting to get the mail. Well enough rambling for now, it's great to be back amongst the creative friends!
