Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!

Canada is certainly a place that most people identify with cold winters and lots of snow. It is a rare winter that we escape this (especially since we live in an area affectionately known as the Snowbelt!) Up until last week though, we had not really had any snow, the temperatures had been cold at times but even that was not too bad. Well, Mother Nature must of realized what was going on because last week we had several snowsquall go through the area- our town was mostly untouched but just 5 minutes up the highway they received TONNES of snow. So much that a town North of us had to declare a snow emergency due to the over 3 metres of snow that had fallen!!!

Yesterday my snow had his snow stuff on at 8:30 in the morning - ready to build a snowfort (or igloo as he insists although I do not know how this will be possible) and to sled on our backyard hill. He had a great time!! Best thing about these days to me is coming inside and finding a warm activity- for me it is retreating to my scrapbook space, putting the space heater at my feet and getting some scrapbooking or cardmaking done while I watch a Christmas movie (yesterday it was Love Actually- if you have never seen it run out and rent it now!! you will not be disappointed!).

I made this sweet card yesterday using some of the paper and die-cut circles in the Felicity collection. The tree branch is part of the swirl and the bird and leaves is also part of the stamp set. Black brads, clear buttons and black waxy flax help to finish it all off. If you receive the Felicity set you will notice this card on the sample project list- I changed mine slightly but kept to the same idea! Hope you enjoy!
