My good friend, Pat aka Blooms in a Box and I have been enabling each other for quite some time now. She recently caught my attention with a Cottage Cutz set called Rustic Sign & Trees. The first was Y'all Welcome Inn found here: ~Y'all Welcome Inn~ by Blooms in a Box at Splitcoaststampers Then during the Dare to get Dirty event she posted this fantastic Christmas card called Nature's Ornaments found here: ~Nature's Ornaments~ by Blooms in a Box at Splitcoaststampers. (Sorry...if you are not a fan club member you won't be able to see the second photo). Well...... that just did it!!! I knew I had to have it. It wasn't long before she started taunting me that since I had the sign and tree set I would probably have to have the cabin set. Huh???? What cabin set??Oh...and she even sent me a link and told me her honey man Bubba had just purchased it for her. Well..I couldn't be outdone so I just had to have it, too. With that said.....we waited and waited hoping to get them to play with last weekend but we didn't. We got them during the week and knew we would have to wait until the weekend to play with them.
Sooooooooooooo........I challenged Pat to a little "ya'll come now" throwdown and we're heading to the mountain lodge out in the country. It's a long, windy road to and it takes a while to get there 'cause it's snowy and the rough roads are slick with ice. It will definitely be well worth the trip, though!. You can come on in and warm up by the fire. See you there.

Aaaaaaaack! Kittie, didn't I tell you I'd only play cards with you if you held back on the "fabulous"? Yes...I did! (Oooooo...you lil liar!) Enabler Supreme, your work just blows me away each time, and here I am, with my jaw on the floor (which, btw is merely faux clean) and I am wondering if I can finish my throw down today! Amazing scene my friend. Cottage Cutz is now buttah in your hands! Fabulous, wonderful and delightful! Hugs....

Speachless! Okay, I'll try. This is nothing short of awsesome. The attention to detail is increadable. I checked out Pat's... also increadable.
My question is does everyone get one of these for Christmas?

Such a beautiful card. I know you and Pat had fun with the "cabin challenge". My text buddy has been pretty quiet today and now I know why. She was a very busy "enabler". Seriously, both of you are masters at the art of making outstanding cards. Can't wait for the next throw down.
