That said when I saw this week's challenge for Three Clovers Designs I knew I had to play along. I sure hope this card looks the way I wanted it to (but I think I may have spaced the trees to far apart...yeah, I definitely should have had them down just a little...such is life). Anyway, this week's challenge is to use blue, silver, and white. Uh, that sounds like a wintery combination to me so I had to pull out my Lovely As A Tree set. I used Shimmery White cardstock then stamped my trees in Night of Navy THEN I sponged frost white ink (from SU!) on the wet Night of Navy ink to get the almost gray-ish looking trees on the bottom...it is SO shimmery in real life! The rest is pretty self explanatory but the sentiment is a rub-on...I always forget to use those so I pulled them out yesterday. So pull out your blue, silver, and white papers and get to work! Don't forget to link them up to Kerry's blog...the link it up a little in this paragraph.
On another note...my middle son, Jon, went last weekend to enlist in the Army. We are totally behind his decision and are incredibly proud of him! He will go in July to Basic Training and then onto his AIT. I hope you will add him now to your daily prayer list. I know I want Jesus' wisdom just soaking into Jon right now!
Now, I bet you think that I have forgotten about the drawing I was having last week, huh? Well, I haven't!! The winner is...

What is fun about Stacy winning is that she lives right in town with me and is a member of my stamp club...that doesn't happen very often! Congrats girl!Alright, I have a full day in front of me so I must scoot but I hope you have a super day!
