Hi Everyone:  We are finally out of the deep freeze, however, with the warming weather, we now have snow.  So, it’s now time to get out the shovel. 

If you had turkey yesterday, I hope that you enjoyed it and are now prepared to face the crowds for the “Black Friday” shopping day.  Good luck if you decide to venture out.

My card today is for The Paper Player challenge #25.  You can see the challenge HERE.  The design team is very talented and the cards displayed are awesome.

This is the first of many birthday cards for the month of December.  I have at least 7 to make, so will likely be sharing some if not all along the way.

The first one is for my Mom who will be a young 86 and still has a zest for life.  She is participating in carpet bowling and the Wii bowling game at the complex in which she lives.  GO MOM!!
