Cold day creations....

Brrrrr!  It's windy and cold outside!  I am not going out there today - no way!  Instead, it's a perfect day for a hot cup of tea & time in the craft room....  Look at what I made on this nippy Sunday morning!
Here is a view of the inside of the card.
Another view of the front of the card....

Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box.
