Happy New Year's Eve!!
Wishing you an abundance of blessings for the New Year - 2013 is just hours away and I pray that the year ahead brings you many good things!
I have a two-fold card today - both the Calendar Girls and the Crafters of Faith cards were 'snow much fun' winter wonderland cards so I managed to fit both challenges into one card! Yay me!
I found this gorgeous picture on the web and wish this was my backyard!
I asked the Calendar Girls to use this photo as their muse this month:

and my card:
and the inside of the card:
I used the SU! set Sleigh Bells Ring and kept the blue color through-out the card theme including with the ink (love that Marina Mist!) Of course I had to decorate my card inside and use some buttons to finish it up! :)
Please be sure to visit the Crafters of Faith AND the Calendar Girls and you can find them on my side-bar - they have been quite crafty this month and have "snow much" to share with you!
Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings and
Happy New Year!
