Well yesterday was fun. I managed to get my blog post done and published just about 10 minutes before the power went off. Then it stayed off for about the next 10 hours. We actually didn't get a huge amount of snow, but what we did get was wet and heavy. At one point half of Nova Scotia was without power! Still, once daylight came I was able to pull out the At Home With You Stamp Set to create today's project. AT HOME WITH YOU I haven't used the At Home With You Stamp Set in ages so ... VIEW POST

Official Seal Of The North Pole
Even though making 24 different cards in 24 hours was a challenge last weekend, I still found time to experiment. Today's Z-fold card was the second of the 24 and I love the faux wax seal I created for it.

Under The Mistletoe Birthday Card
Today my plan was to create a card using the Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper (DSP). I would have a large piece of the DSP with some ribbon along the bottom edge.
