Good Afternoon Everyone, well it snowed again last night and I was forced to walk into town this morning to pick up an envelope that hadnt got the right postage on, why they carnt bring them to the door in this sort of weather I dont know as Im more than happy to pay for it. Anyway I managed it without a mishap but the poor dog hasnt been out for a walk yet and Im hoping that the sun which is out at the moment will clear a lot of it up as we had a freeze during the night and its like a skating rink and it scares me like hell to walk on it.
Heres a photo I took last night not brilliant but it gives you an idea what we are experiencing at the moment.
And that footpath upto the front gate is extremely icy today so you can understand why Im scared, my dog loves it. Anyway getting back to my card its for the TeddyBo "Birthstones" Challenge and as Im a November baby its Topaz for me, not particularly a nice colour but Ive done my best with this little skating Bea, and used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.17 on it to cut it out, and the papers Ive used are Bearlymine Digi Christmas Sets, Ive then wrapped a piece of lace and ribbon around the card and attached it to the back of the first mount, then stuck my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right.
To finish of Ive used one hellibore and two poinsettas in a flower spray that has been stuck to the card with silicone glue on top of some punched out holly leaves.
This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

Beautiful Card, Shirley, glad you got home in once piece from the PO, this not enough postage thing, is just ridiculous, it does not even make sense, so far we are without snow here in Edinburgh, and I hope it stays that way, as I have to do my Xmas shopping, on Tuesday, xxxx

Shirley, this card is just beautiful.. You be careful walking in this weather.. Last year I slipped and fell, hurt my hip and ever since, If I sleep on that side at night for more that a hour or two the pain wakes me up.. No fun at all.. Hugs, Linda
