We ended up getting lots of snow here in Oregon , which is very rare where we live . This is the first time in the 20 years I have lived here that we have had this much snow all at once . These first 3 pics are of a fallen tree a few hundred feet up the road from where we live . As you can see the tree narrowly missed their van and it laid most of the way across the street . It took hours for

Never heard of a Glue Glider ? It is an awesome lightweight alternative to the heavy bulky adhesive guns . Jerri's recommendation on her blog A Touch of Grace is a must read . She will tell you from experience how awesome this tool really is . I just purchased one myself because of her recommendation , just got it yesterday and can't wait to try it . It is very affordable ! Now the BOGO part ,

I made this card for the Challenge that Vicki at Stamped Smiles had on her blog for a blog candy contest she was having , using a sketch from the DRS Design blog . Unfortunately I did not win the contest .I used Stampin Up's Upsy Daisy stamped with their markers and used DD glitter on the flowers , the DP is by DCWV the green is a textured CS , I also used my oval nestabilities on this card ,

I am not sure if I am entirely happy with how this card turned out , mostly because I am a bit of a perfectionist and want my cards to look a good as some of the top stampers cards do , I keep thinking it looks as if something is missing , oh well . I guess I will improve more with time . This card uses Pocket Silhouettes from SU! , DSP is also from SU! . Other Items used are : 2 different Martha

Donna Baker issued a challenge on the Gina K forum on SCS at the last release to make a card with 2 layers including the card base and one ribbon and 3 embellishments all the same , this is what I came up with . I did not finish it in time to post it for the contest , I went 5 min over the time it was to be posted by so I did not post it .I cut the card base out with my scallop rectangle nesties

My youngest son Kody turned 14 on the 18th of October , he is a big fan of Hot Wheels cars and has a huge collection of them , so when I found these demensional stickers a few months ago at Dollar Tree I new I had to get them to make him a card for his birthday . Kody's dad Demitri helped me with the layout of the stickers and helped me chose the DSP to use . I used DSP from SU's Halloween Paper

Melody over at Lilacs and Butterflies posted a challenge to make a card with lots of blue and atleast 1 butterfly , for a chance to win some blog candy , so this is what I came up with .

Flowers are from an EK Success punch and have a glittered brad in
