Snow in June?

That's actually not as far-fetched as you would think... we had freeze warnings last night and Tim had to turn on the sprinklers at 2 am to keep the garden from being lost... got down to 34 degrees... This is a Huge stamp from Stamps Happen ( Snowman Collection ) this card is 6 inches square in real life. the Gingham is unknown and the blue cardstocks are from bazzill...
Someone asked me about fancy tools to distress the edges (which i do a lot) and don't ask me who or where (I've already forgotten) but, i did take this shot right about after i read that. there are tools that are just a plain razor blade enclosed in plastic that will do the same thing ( have one, used to use it at classes i taught a) because the store sold it and b) it keeps the bleeding on the cardstock down to a minimum... lol... seriously though all you need is a pair of scissors and just drag the blade with the scissors all the way open against your cardstock edge... (but, if you slip and bleed on the cardstock it will NOT come out) and none of the distress inks will hide the blood stains either... close up look at an distressed edge...
Hampton Arts "relaxed snowman" "just because i had these scraps already on the table... :) my newest system is to not put away the scraps to try and use them up... so... these are from a few weeks ago...

Freeze warnings?

Geez--- we were having temps to almost 100 degrees this past weekend!!!

I like "cooling" off with your snow. :)
