An Ice Day - or Two.....FMS414






December has started with a blast - of cold, snow and ice!  Yes we had two days of snow resulting in 24 inches of the white stuff.  The snowblower broke - we did lots of shoveling.  My car got stuck twice in the driveway - more shoveling.  And yet the Big Guy just keeps on smiling because he will be skiing before Christmas......



Karren's sketch has great possibilities!  It was perfect to showcase this ice skating giraffe!  Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

As happy as I am for the Big Guy, I'm just as happy to say we did NOT get that 24 inches!!!!
LOve your talented Giraffe, Linda! Another thing I never mastered - no matter how many socks I stuffed into those many pairs of ice skates in our family, not one pair fit!!
Such a fun card!

Oh my gosh....so much snow! I am a wee bit jealous, we got a dusting this morning and it was gone in a flash! Although not jealous of shoveling. Ick. Anyway, this card is as cute as can be, I have a friend who would love this stamp---she loves giraffes! Just adorable!

Love your take on the sketch, Linda! Your ice-skating giraffe is adorable and your sweet little trees are fabulous! So sorry to hear about your snowblower...shoveling is no fun at all!
