smores snowman...

**some of you that are signed up through my subscription link (in my sidebar), may have gotten this post early~since I hip publish post before I entered the correct "future" date~silly me!!**

Hi all!!!

As you read this post I am hopefully doing something fun in CT *wink*. I am gonna keep today's post short and sweet!

I wanted to share my recent card publication in Paper Crafts Magazine *big smile* and I have to tell you~this issue is FULL of beautiful Christmas cards (I was definitely inspired while I was flipping through the pages!).

Don't you just love this little smore's snowman??? so FUN (and easy!!) just punch out a few squares and use the corner rounder and viola' marshmallows!!! I used the word window punch for the graham cracker and chocolate bar~an equally delish part, LOL!!

Well I am hoping that since Ashley finished her last paper *hooray* for her very LAST class (she will soon have her M.A. in Psychology, since some readers were wondering what degree she was graduating with)~she will fill in the gaps for me this week while I am gone:)

Supplies used (SU! unless noted): Holiday Treats stamp set (PTI); Real Red/Choc Chip/Whisper White/Pumpkin Pie (for nose) cardstock; Fresh Snow (PTI)/Creamy Carmel (sponged on white square edges) ink; Square/Word Window punches; Cuttlebug Bubble embossing die; Red Gingham/Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon; Black Marker (for eyes and buttons)

publications...

Hi Friends,
I am super busy this week filling in (extra hours) for Ashley at work, while she is in Jamaica, and checking on her kitties, Jax & Jill every day (which I really don't mind at all, LOL!). But coming off a week of vacation and jumping into a crazy week~has me feeling pretty tired!

I was excited to receive my complementary copy of Card Style in the mail yesterday~I totally forgot I had 2 cards published in this one *smile* Even though I have had several cards published, it is still exciting for me to see them in print and get my copy of the magazine in the mail.

Let me tell you...I have not really had time to sit down and really look through it~but just thumbing through, there are tons of gorgeous card ideas inside!!!

Here are my cards from this issue:





ok~gotta run!!!
Have a SPECTACULAR Wednesday Friends!!!
