 Hello folks,

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

*** Masculine Makes ***

 Hi folks,

Well...talk about snow.  26 cm dropped Thursday night with another 11 cm expected today.  
We have not seen this much of the white stuff in several years and it's so good to see, especially when the sun is shining.   Everyone comes together, neighbour helping neighbour dig out from under and pushing cars that get stuck (not this old gal though...those days are over...best I can do is offer hot chocolate)

Time for a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin

I've coloured with copics a digital image from Mo's and the sentiment is a stamp from LOTV.

This card is for our SIL's birthday...he rides his bike to work as a football coach at the local high school and yes these are the team colours.
