SNOWFLAKES & BUTTERFLIES & ONE HAPPY MAMMA!!!

Hi Everyone!
I hope everyone is having fun getting ready for the Holidays! I have some very exciting news for my family & I!!! My oldest son, Brian who is in the Air Force is coming home for Christmas!!! We haven't spent a Christmas together in 4 yrs!
He was in Japan for 3 yrs & last year he was in Afghanastan, so you can imagine how thrilled I am!!! He will be here for a week & it so happens I have my youngest son, Brandon for Christmas this year, so we are all very excited!!!
So the planning & preperation now starts!!! :)


Today's card is a little out of the norm, usually my style is all cutesy, but I make something simple & elegant, which I think I accomplished. Please let me  know what you think! 
I found this Pearl Cardstock in my stash-Used a Lavender Dew Drop ink & mixed 
Frosted Crystal embossing powder with some MS glitters & embossed the snowflakes & sentiment. I also used some Pearl Glimmer Mist
The Snowflake stamp is from MS Stamp Around the Page (HSN)
The Sentiment is from Whimsical Designs
The only different things I used for this one was Silver Stickles & the Snowflake is from OCL
Here's a close up of the Sentiment & Snowflake

As always, Gilby & love your comments...his tail just wags away when he sees me smile!!!


Thanks for stopping by!
