"Tis the Season

I can't believe it is November! 
That only means a couple of things. 
Well, maybe it means a few things.
1. Christmas is right around the corner.
2. Thanksgiving is here
3. Alexis and John's wedding reception is a month away!
4. The snow is coming, oh no!
I am fine with the first 3, not so fine about #4. 
In fact it looks like it could snow today.
On to my card:
I followed the weekly MFT sketch below.
 
I used a new stamp from MFT's Triple Scoop free set this past month. 
Love the sentiments.
I stamped the image with Memento Love Bug.
