Morning readers,
Well, here we are again, at a weekend - hope you all something nice to look forward to this weekend.
I've a make to share with you today ....... this one actually took several days to make. Not sure why, those who know me personally will know that I normally craft pretty speedily but I kept on putting this to one side whilst another idea popped in to my head. Finally, on the 4th day the idea to use the magenta "foliage" image appeared and "voila" the card got finished using stash both new and pretty old! I think this is a more masculine style card - don't you?

OH MY GOODNESS! We woke to .... snow this morning, bit of a surprise! Hadn't been expecting it when I went to bed last night! Still, with rain forecast later, I don't suppose it will stay long - snow is lovely to look at ..... just so long as I don't have to travel in it! Stay safe everyone

A lovely card in my favourite colour! XXX
The split circle stencilled background with the Magenta silhouette flowers look great Kathy, and love the way you added the sentiment strip towards the bottom which finishes the card perfectly. No snow here in West Somerset, but as you say it will probably melt fairly quickly. We did have a really heavy hail storm yesterday which did turn the ground white for a bit but that is all. x
Lovely card Kathy, worth taking the time to get the design just right.
We missed out on the overnight snow, but guess it's probably melted by now.

Just had to pop back after seeing this one in the gallery, Kathy. It really speaks to me, too, and love that you waited for it to tell you what it needed. And to my surprise ~ beautiful snow!! How fun, as you say, as long as you don't need to travel in it! Hugs, Darnell
Dry pretty card Kathy, love the stencilling. Had no snow here at all .. quite surprised when I saw on the news some places had had it!
