Snow Flurry

Morning ... I had a very productive card making evening last night.. finally feel like I am making some headway with orders and my own Christmas cards. Sometime's I just feel like there is not enough hours in the day especially when I'm lacking mojo but I'm trying to do some crafting at least 3-4 times a week instead of every night like I did and it seems a little easier that way!

Here is a little card I made just for fun (well I can add to the Christmas card stash lol) for a few challenges....

The Paper Players: #123 Sketch

Ok, I'll hopefully be back tomorrow although we may be going to the flicks tonight...
