Amethyst Snow Card

Well, here we go again. The weatherman sure has missed his mark in the past. I wonder if he will be right with this storm. We made it to New York in about 7 hours.

A butterfly card

Late post today. Lots going on and very busy. This is another card from the simple and elegant card box I did for a gift. It is simple and fun. I used the strip stamp to create the sidebar.
