Okay, I’ve had a lesson in frustration today once again with my internet. I’m assuming it is giving me fits since the wind is howling here in North Georgia and rattling the house. So I’m happy to say I’m finally able to share today’s card with you, although it is a bit later than I had hoped.

Today’s card is one that I received in a Leadership swap. I love the little banners used on this card made with our FREE Banner Punch. Kathy used the colors from the Retro Fresh Washi Tape found in the Occasions Catalog to determine the colors.

There is also a lot of texture to this card and I hope you can see it in my photo. Not only do you have the linen texture of the Core’dinations Card stock but you also have the added texture of the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder along the bottom. The little cut out made in the Pool Party Core’dinations Card stock around the focal point adds some depth and interest – Fun, right?

And did you know that two of the products used to make this card are FREE Sale-a-bration items? Better yet, you can save 15% when you buy the Starburst Sayings Stamp Set and Starburst Framelits Dies in a Bundle (134817/134818) found in the Occasions Catalog on page 34- How great is that!

Yesterday I shared with you the card that we made during my Sale-a-bration Saturday event and today as promised I’ll be sharing with you the little treat that everyone received.

When I saw this idea I just knew I wanted to make my own treats – and as you know I love to make treats for family and friends.

And since these cute little Mini File Folder Treat Holders are a lot fun to make I couldn’t resist giving them to my attendees this past Saturday.

I created these little Mini File Folder Treats using the Starburst Bundle (134817/134818) from the Occasions Catalog (on page 34). Our bundles are great since when you purchase both the stamp set and coordinating item such as a punch or Framelits together you’ll get a 15% discount!

On a personal note, if you don’t live locally you may not know that we are gearing up for some severe winter weather. If you live locally, you know exactly what that means here in North Georgia – and it gets kind of crazy.

So I though I would share what we woke up to this morning.

This first one is of our yard – you can see the tire tracks from my son’s four wheeler. He told his dad he was just running to get his coat! My husband that that this was the long way around running down stairs to get his coat – LOL

So this was 7 a.m. this morning.

Here is a photo of Chewie, our eldest four legged child. She is on her “perch” watching the snow fall and all those pesky birds again – I’m sure you can hear her again in today’s video. Oh well, I’m not sure what I’m going to do about that when I video the next time – LOL.

And here is the view just a few minutes ago of our oak tree next to the house. As you can see the snow is really starting to pile up on those branches, and for those of us who live in the south you know what kind of trouble that can mean. Especially for all those pine trees along our power lines. This mornings prediction was up to 6 or 7 inches in my area, but the biggest problem isn’t the snow – right now were still above freezing and you can hear the gutters running. Our biggest worry is the ice that is suppose to follow this tomorrow.

So that being said – I do plan on posting, however depending on my power and internet situation which is already giving me fits …….. well, you get the idea.

Hope everyone stays safe and warm in their homes this go round. And for those wonderful DOT and public safety jobs who have to be out – I’ll be saying a little prayer for you. My husband is one of those that’s on call 24/7 so I’m hoping that there’s very little need for them this time.
