a holiday cardinal

 I loved seeing these beautiful birds when I visited the USA...

I have used a stamping up die for the background trees and the cardinal is a tattered lace die

I hope you are enjoying this wonderful sunny weather.

week 14...snow globe

 well I got every set of snow globes out and surprised myself by how many I had....I ended up using a very old Tattered lave one as my characters fitted in best....

I made it in to a shaker card with some glitter trying not to overfill it this time....
