Another big snow storm? Seriously?

About 32 inches last weekend….10-20 (?) more today and tomorrow?  At least it isn’t as much as the last time but it’s still a significant amount.  I just don’t want to shovel more.  (I really shouldn’t complain…at least we’ve had power.  Many still don’t.)

We never get this much snow in one winter.  And we still have more than a month to go.  I’d like to make my “UGH” from yesterday BIGGER.  This is insane.  **sigh**

I thought I’d quickly post another spring-ish card before I make my first trip out on the road since last Thursday to look for some coffee cream and a coat for my son.  His zipper broke and we don’t have a spare.  (I’m hoping they haven’t all vanished along with the snow shovels, snow blowers and milk.  We shall see.)    ETA:  Found a coat!  (But no milk.  That’s ok.  The coat was more important.)  And I made it to Starbucks!!  WOOHOO! lol.

This is one of the new Jolinne images by My Favorite Things.  Isn’t she sweet?  I used Copics and pencils for coloring, one of my favorite flowers from my friend, Jody and another of those perfectly sized Zva Creative crystal flowers on her necklace .

I colored over her eyes with a black 3-d glaze pen to make them dark and shiny.  And I used a clear Spica glitter pen over her wings for lots of subtle sparkle which, of course, you cannot see here.

MFTMAWINA simple finish to the inside completed the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
