Let It Snow...

Hello me lovelies

Update: Added another photo of todays card which is a bit more clear than the one below it!!

I was hoping to be here a little earlier but when i got up this morning i felt absolutely dreadful...not sure whether is due to something that happened to our eldest boy the other night {i will share that another day but at all i can say it's in the Police hands} or whether it's just me coming down with cold or flu or whichever...i just know i feel all bunged up and achy but heyhoo we still have to carry on!!

Anyhoo yesterday to cheer myself up with all the stress i am going through i ordered 'Let It Snow' stamp and matching die set from the lovely Stephanie's shop called Clearly Besotted...you can find the stamp set here and the matching die here
Well this morning it turned up {yay!!} which put a little smile on achy face lol, now my little Jaykub was watching a Thomas dvd when it turned up so i took the opportunity {to stop me falling asleep} to do a little crafting with this set and the outcome was that i made 2 cards, i also followed Sketch Saturdays sketch...

This is how they turned out...hope you likey :)
