About as Fussy as I Get

I don't do fussy... much. But once in awhile I find a card that is a step up from my usual CAS (clean and simple) style. And I like to step outside the box and try to see if I can achieve it. I really really loved the way these cards turned out. And a card like this is always reserved for someone extra special who will appreciate the time and attention to detail.

Never Ending Winter

I did not get Christmas cards sent out this year. So I was determined to send winter cards to close family and friends, and reciprocate to those who sent us a Christmas card. I started making a few here and there and stock piling them. My desk was covered but it was taking me awhile to get them finished. Long enough, in fact, that I feared winter would end before I got them mailed.
I needn't have worried. Because this was the longest winter we've ever had while living in Indiana! We seriously got our last snow the day before I sent out my final batch of winter cards. And we were never more glad to see spring.
