Bundle up...

Although I might have been (wishful) thinking it was spring, now we have a not too gentle reminder that it's only February.  A nasty cold spell is settling in, which means staying inside.... only braving the cold if really necessary!  So I thought a wintry Christmas card might be in order.


Here, I have used a much older Magnolia stamp along with some DP scraps from my stash.  Those chubby little cheeks would have to be well covered with today's weather, and really it's much too cold for playing outside.  Our schools actually keep the kids inside for recess when it is this cold.

I've used the Memory Box Frosty Border die (so appropriate) and their Precious Hearts die....because it's Valentine's!  The image is coloured with water colours then cut and matted using Spellbinders dies.  As you can see, I've made good use of some little extra Christmas stamps to dress up the white areas.

Thanks for stopping by again.  Be sure to bundle up and try to stay warm.
