Snow... Snow... Snow!

and embossing...
We had our first snow this morning. It was only about an inch but it was pretty and white. So when I finally had time to do some stamping, embossing snow just seemed to feel right. This card was cased from "card crazy" on Splitcoaststampers with a little of my own sparkle added. It was a bit labor intensive, but it was just what I needed this weekend.
With the economy as bad as it is, how can you help make some changes in your finances and lifestyle? As I watch my daughter learn about money management, especially emergency spending, saving for special occasions like birthdays and Christmas, I realize how much I need to go back to a simpler time. So we'll be making some gifts this year, and planning better for next year.
Stamping is so versatile, this new passion of mine will lend itself well to this downturn economy and change in focus to handmade, sentimental, and elegant gifts. It gives me another reason to explore new techniques and try new things.
I hope you'll come along for the ride!
