Snowed in!!

Yes, we're snowed in! The postman made it down the hill - just!  I think he just shut his eyes and slid most of the way. The main roads aren't too bad, apparently but little country lanes like ours are no-go areas.  My postie was going to have to try to make it all the way to the end of our road (about 3 miles) as there's no way he can get back up the hill!

Never mind, the Boy Wonder and I are well prepared - we made bread and biscuits yesterday and there is plenty in the freezer, so we're not going to starve.  The downside is that I can't get to Marianne's as planned.  They have hardly any snow - she's about 5 miles away - so friends who live nearer to her have been able to go over, fortunately. 

Anyway, time for a card.  I used another of my Christmas 2011 Magnolia stamps - they are oh so lovely to colour!

I went for purple Copics on this one to match the lovely Magnolia DP.  I put a strip of punched Bazzill along the top and everything has had a doing with the Timmy thingy and some Frayed Burlap DI.  I finished it all off with a sprinkling of Glamour Dust, some lovely ribbon from the Ribbon Girl and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I didn't do too much to the inside - just a Nestie circle, Bazzill rub on and another bow with the same gorgeous ribbon.  I thought I would enter this in the Papertake Weekly challenge, "I'm Dreaming of a (Favourite Colour) Christmas"!  And purple is my colour of the day!

If you get the chance in between Christmas shopping, cooking and wrapping, do have a look at our last challenge of 2011 over at Sweet Stampin'.  We're looking for Glitter, Sparkle and Bling - it doesn't have to be Christmassy, as long as it's stamped.  Team Fi have made some gorgeous cards for you to see and our wonderful Guest Designer, the lovely Donna, has done us proud.  If you haven't already seen it, her blog is well worth a look!

Have a fabby weekend!

Hugs,
