Welcome Window

Did you all have a good weekend? I did...got to go to the movies with my DH. YES, an actual date!! I wish we could have date nights at least once a week, but that is of course hard to do with three kiddos. Guess that just makes you appreciate being alone together more. We went to see The Proposal and oh my gosh was it good, so funny I cried.
Then Saturday night I met up with some old friends from high school. The reason why we all got together was to see Josh Davis who was back home for a visit. Of course in high school we all knew that Josh would go far, because his drawings were amazing even back then. It was great to hang out with him, hear his celebrity stories and get some creative advice. Check out his website and see what an amazing artist he is. So happy to see someone with such a passion able to make a living doing what he loves. Way to go Josh!


OK on to the card...here is the window card I did for Caardvarks Window challenge. The design team members received stamps from Purple Onion Designs, the sponsor for this challenge and boy are they cute! This polar bear and little camp fire worked out perfect for a snowy scene in this A7 Arch Window Card from Creative Cuts and More. CC&M also carries an A2 Arch Window Card, which I am going to have to try out for Christmas cards.
Head on over to Caardvarks to check out the design team gallery, Purple Onion Designs to see all of their fun stamps and last but not least Creative Cuts and More to see all of their fabulous die cut cards, boxes and shapes.

If you haven't done so already, check out my GINORMOUS BLOG CANDY post for your chance to win a TON of fun stuff!! My goal...100 Followers!!
