Snowy

Hi,

When i went outside this morning it felt as though it was the lull before the dreaded Snow !! - i so hate it, as we always seem to get cut off, as when you turn right out of my road you go over a bridge and that always gets so packed up with ice, that it is impossible to go over, let's hope when it comes, it doesn't stay for long.

I would just like to welcome my new follower : Laura Vi.

I was also wondering if anyone could help me, since getting a new laptop, i don't know now to put my name on my cards, please help, thanks.

I was feeling very guilty, as out of all the Christmas cards i made last year, i never used my all time favourite 'Snowy', so i have remedied that today, as he looks so good in Blue.  The papers are a very old Dovecraft pack - 'Winter Wonderland', ribbon again is from an old Papermania Ribbon Collection, that has never been opened before !!, the sentiment is PB - 'Each Friend'

Cupcake Craft - where the Challenge is 'January Blues'

Without Words - where January's Challenge is 'Baby, It's Cold Outside' - I hope it's CAS enough for you

Thanks for looking, Luv Sam x

Sam, you card is adorable. I love the sentiment and happy little snowman. I use Picasa. You can download it free and adjust all your photos, add your name, crop and etc. just goggle it. It is a great program to use and you can also upload your images to blogger right from it. Hope that helps.
Thanks for joining us.
