Hello! Happy Thursday to you! The SCS galleries are overflowing with Fall goodness but today we are going to take a break from Fall. December will be here before we know it with all the hustle and bustle that the holidays bring. Also with December can come difficult moments for friends and family so my challenge is to create a winter encouragement card. Won't it be great to have an encouragement card in your stash and not have to stop and create one during the busyiness of December? So break out your snow, sweaters, coffee/tea mugs, winter critters etc, and add an encouraging sentiment. Your sentiment can be as simple as "hugs"!
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

Angie challenged us to make a winter encouragement card. Here's mine. I think our family and friends need to be told how you feel with cards as well as your words. I love cards because if they start to doubt things, they can look at the cards that have been sent to them. Here's my card.

Angie- what a thoughtful challenge! It's good to focus on winter as a season I made this gatefold card using a woodgrain stamp and a barn door stamp, adding some color with a green wreath and red bow and a jaunty red gingham tie- here's the outside. As for my sentiment, here's the inside of my card. Definitely going into winter here!
