I was inspired by Jeanette Lynton's snow layout, so I decided to create my own. For my layout I used CTMH Aspen Paper and my Cricut Winter Woodland Cartridge. The colors are Twight and Blush.
I am a stamper, scrapbooker and paper crafter as well as a Close to My Heart Consultant. I am a Christian and have been married to Bill for over 35 years. We have two grown children, Jennifer and Ryan and two beautiful granddaughters, Alexia and Brooke.
