I Love Stamping

January has been the month for our "love" theme. Well I do love stamping and scrapping. When I first saw this Krafty Kimmie stamp, Krafty Stamper over at One Crazy Stamper I knew I had to have it!

Winter

Yes, it is winter. We have had a couple of snow storms, here in NH. I have to say I don't like them. Too too messy! My new car is filthy. My dog is filthy. It makes my house filthy. Yuck! Okay enough! Look at this beautiful winter scene created with a newly released stamp from DRS Designs, Winter Wording Square (618G) paired with the Triple Tree with Snow(004L). I had embossed the images with white, added some white icicles done with a border punch and topped off my card with pleated navy ribbon.
I hope you are warm and cozy and enjoying your winter!
