Hey Ya's! Hope you are all having a beautiful week so far! :)
Well .. in my last post, I mentioned that my parents and one of my Aunts were coming in to surprise Bodhi .. and oh my .. he was SO overwhelmed with excitement when he saw their faces in the car after school!!! :) It was such a GREAT surprise! And we've been having such a wonderful week with them, especially since it's a long weekend here in the U.S. :) It's been so nice. :)
I've made a card using one of Lili of the Valley's DARLING latest release. And this one is called "Red Squirrels Christmas Tree" .. they are such cuties aren't they?! I used frantage on the tree to make it look like snow .. and I didn't think I had put THAT much frantage. Buuuut .. when it heated and started turning white .. my eyeballs got bigger and bigger seeing just HOW much frantage there really was on the tree! Ooopsies! lol! :) Then I also used a sentiment from "Set 35 - Christmas Handwritten Phrases".

Elise
