Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

Instead of rain I think I would rather have snow...  Even thought I live in the Pacific Northwest it doesn't snow all that much where we are located, but there are times that we have gotten dumped on also so I guess it's hit or miss with the snow for us... The kids already have there sleds ready for that day if it ever arrives. lol

So with snow on my mind I had to create a "Let it Snow" card.  The boys just loved it...  I also used the Sketchy Wednesday sketch for KinderStampO for this card.

Products used:

Kraft Cardstock

Core'dinations Glittered Cardstock

KinderStampO Vintage and Traditional Holiday Stamp Set

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Vintage Lace

Here is the KinderStampO Sketchy Wednesday 11-30-11 Sketch

I love creating sketches so I am so thankful that Jessica from KinderStampO enjoys them enough to use them each week.  If you haven't checked out KinderStampO Stamps yet you need to... They are amazing sentiment stamp sets filled with great sentiments in different fonts.
