Morning readers,
What about yesterday's weather then? It was -8° when we woke up ... gradually increased (with the bright sunshine) to +1° but quickly cooled off again. I'm not sure I remember such a prolonged spell of such cold weather ... but I could simply have wiped it from my memory - who wouldn't? Stay warm and treat/drive carefully, should you have to go out today peeps.
I've a make to share with you today ....... this was SUPPOSED to be a new home card but, as you can see, a birthday card evolved - oh well, there's always tomorrow for that new home card!

Congrats on being a top pick.
Love that new stencil paired with the PB flower. Great happy birthday card. Good luck making a new home card today!
Certainly was Brass Monkeys weather again yesterday and no better today. Loads of lethal rock hard icy snow around here still!!!
Fabulous card with that gorgeous brushstroke stamp, and great stencilling.

Very pretty, and while it may have morphed from one theme to another, it sure is a pretty one! Thanks for sharing at NBUS
