Frosty Mornings Card Made with Clear Stamps and Copic Markers - Matching Envelope

Hello, my crafty friends,
this is Shannon here with another card for the Aloha Friday Challenge Blog. I'm honored to be a member of the design team, but this month I almost blew it. I forgot to post the pictures of my card and write this issue of my blog.




Unfortunately, I'm suffering from a pain in the neck.  And if you're wondering, no, it isn't any of the boys... I truly have done something to tweak my neck.  Have you ever just woke up with pains that you never had before.  Or it's been so long that you barely remember they ever existed.




I turned 50 earlier this year.  I'm starting to have pains everywhere from the hair on my head to the tips of my toes.  Getting old is not for the wimpy. 

Any way, I'm, suffering through it with ibuprofen and ice on and off. 

Thank you for taking the time to listen to me whine... Are you supposed to write "listen" when referring to someone comprehending what you write.... hmmm... I'm curious.

It's a good thing I had already created this card.  I took the pictures, but forgot to edit and post them... this is par for the course for me.  Not only does everything hurt, I can't remember why it hurts...lol


To close, I would like you to know about the upcoming Scrapbooking Fun Summit that I am speaking at.  I've created a very pretty Christmas card with the Layered Poinsettia die set from Kat Scrappiness. I will teach you how to make those layered die cuts three-dimensional.  This is the kind of card you make for someone extra special.
