Snow Much Thanks

My Simon Says Stamp January 2015 Card Kit arrived yesterday and I love the mix of colors!


Here's the first card I made using the elements in the kit.  This kit is timed perfectly for after-Christmas thank you notes!


I chose the chevron paper from the BoBunny design papers and trimmed out part of it, then added a Simon Eliza snowflake along with a Penny Black one and some of my own blue and clear gems.  

Are you ready for Christmas?  Our plans are up in the air, as my 94-year old Dad is having some health problems.   I'd appreciate your prayers for him and for my Mom, too.

Those colors truly are beautimous! That chevron sort of creates a really cool optical illusion. It's almost like it's overlapping but it's not. Neat!
