Winter Birthday Card

Finally, I've gotten a card done!!! Design D*I*V*A*S challenge this week was to make a Winter Birthday card. It looks much prettier in real life!! I just can't seem to get good pictures!!Recipe:
Stamp: Northwoods J7139, Cee Dee’s Birthday Wishes
Ink: Memento Black, Riding Hood RedPaper: Gina K White, Riding Hood Red (Solid & dp)
Accessories: Stickles, SU Ribbon, Oval & Scallop Oval Punch

Here I am, playing around with part of my Daughter Jenn's Halloween costume. Hunter took my picture!
 We took Hunter Trick or Treating to a local outlet mall. He was a "Scary Monster". That is Jenn and my Mom with him. Today he had his Halloween party at school. School was closed last week due to the flu!! I hope he had a good time!!
Today my Mom picked up her little doggie (my sister) Trixie from the vet. She got "fixed" yesterday!! Now she needs TLC !! Wish I could be there!! I've got 2 12 hour shifts coming up this weekend, so I probably won't get much card making or blogging done. Well, I hope everyone has a good weekend. The weather is supposed to be "summer like" here in Madison!
