I was making a scene all day with Pat, so she told me to go make a card. Dang. Here it is. Card for my Grandma. I used acetate for the first time, and that snow junk- pretty cool. My new technique is frosting the windows, and using a cool punch for bushes. I cut the tree in half after I melted fake snow on it, and used the other half for the inside, and put stickers for bulbs.
Of course, I had the Xacto, a MAN tool to cut the windows, the tree and the bear inside. No cuts. Nice.

When are you and Pat going to quit your day jobs? You could illustrate children's books together! On her well behaved days Pat could write them! Of course, none about Nuns! I love the windows, fireplace and bushes!

What fun! Somebodies having an enjoyable time with that exacto knife, I love how you have cut the tree in half and decorated the piece inside, So this is where the three bears live I hope Goldilocks doesn't sneek in and open a few presents.But really this is just so creative I would have to laminate this card and bring it out every year as a feature.

You are the new acetate King!!! I bow to you...this time. Buckle Dude, I cannot believe the detail of your creation. I have never adorned the inside of my cards like this. I guess you've thrown down the challenge guantlet with this one. You amaze me with your talent and skill with the bling, flocking, snow, punches, and acetate. Beautiful card!
