Snow On Every Hill

Good Friday!   Literally, I hope you have a good one!   All week I've been spending time with my kids and "spare" kids, (niece and nephew).  We decorated Easter eggs on Tuesday with sponges and oil ink then topped them off with stickers!  Yep . . . stickers!  I remember when the newspapers came out, covered the kitchen table ~ you bend those pretend spoons into ladles and add vinegar to water and color in 6 different coffee cups and mom let you at it!  Not anymore, now you gotta strip the kids down and hold their hands for fear they may get toxic poisoning . . . or worse!  A rash!  lol   Does anyone even read newspapers anymore?  I miss the old days!

Better get to business before I really get going.  On to a really fun shaker card designed around an adorable image by Stamping Dragon Designs called Snowhill .  I thought it would've been a little out of season but as there was snow here this week, I think it's safe to still be making these winter cards! This too will be available in my Etsy store right after my next craft sale!
