"Snow Song"

Good Morning Everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend! We sure did! We didn't do anything real spectacular, just pretty much hung around the house, got caught up on some chores, and watched a couple of movies! It is so nice to have some down time!

This creation is for The Latte Lounge July Monthly Challenge! This is Week 4, the final week and the twist is to use Non-Traditional Colors (No Red or Green)! If you haven't been following along... Here is the full challenge as it has progressed over the month...

You can create cards with any of the four recipes and still be entered for some awesome prizes. We will be adding Digi Design House, DtsArt, & Stamping With Brenda, to the existing list of sponsors!
