Warm winter wishes

It was 54 on Friday and snowing on Saturday. I procrastinated Saturday morning about doing anything and in the end staying home and doing nothing won out. I did however manage to do my laundry and make a pot of ham and potato soup.

Since the ground is covered in snow this is a good time to show you a card that I made a few weeks ago. This one was a first attempt and didn't turn out as well as I liked. I ended up doing a second one that went out in the mail.

The front

The inside. This was a pop up card and I was kind of winging it from various directions I had seen. The trees and snowman were cut on my cricut.



After I get done work today I am off until January 2nd. I was surprised that I got 2 days off in a row this week too.

Great you have time off from work, Ann. I had the 25th off (yippee) and have been back at work ever since. I'll t take the 1st off and then it's back to work from the 2nd. Your card looks super to me.

Awesome work...so talented to make it a pop-up. I know I'd be STILL trying to figure THAT out. Enjoy your time off...you & Gibbs can make snow angels.

I only got one tree! My card will go in my keepsake drawer💜

Well you were productive with the laundry and soup. That definitely counts! The card is so cute.

Ohhhh, I **LOVE** this card, Ann! I made a few cards this Christmas too but never got any pictures of them. They weren't nearly as pretty as yours. Hurray-hurray for "doing nothing days"! Laundry and making bean soup are more than enough, I'd say. I'm glad you have two days off... and the two days are good ones on the calendar. Love, Andrea xoxo

Great job on that card, Ann. Glad to hear you are getting some time off over the holidays. Have a very Happy New Years.

I'm so happy you have two days off in a row. That's awesome.

I love that card. It's adorable.

Have a fabulous day and two days off. Big hug to you and tons of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥

It is absolutely adorable! I have seen ones like this at stores for $10.00, and they were not even as cute as this one.

Ann said...

Thank you. I'm hoping it's a great year for everyone

Ann said...

Thanks. It's not as difficult as you might think.
Gibbs and I would have to make mud angels since all our snow is gone now

Ann said...

I know, your card was supposed to have 2 trees like this one but Gibbs ate one of them.

Ann said...

Thank you. I wish I would have been productive enough to make cards for everyone I sent them to but all I managed was just the one.

Ann said...

Thanks. I'm looking forward to the 2 days off. It will be a nice break

Ann said...

I am too. I'm looking forward to the break

Ann said...

Thanks. The price of cards are crazy any more. Of course you can still find cheap ones at the dollar store but if you want a really nice one you have to pay a fortune. That's why I like making them

Grace said...

LOL -all is forgiven because- GIBBS ❤️

Ann said...

Maybe he was trying to help because he knew the card was for you. :)

I;'m so glad you have some time off, and that you took advantage of the weather to take some down time.

Productivity is overrated, I say! Thanks for sharing the card with all of us. :)

Ann said...

Down time is always nice. I totally agree, productivity is overrated...lol All work and no play makes Ann a dull girl.
