Zombie Christmas


Hey everyone...
I am so sorry this picture is a bit blurry but I can't get another one because I just gave the card away.  My colleague and I both love the walking dead and I had to make a "dead" Christmas card for her!  So I dug into my Simply Betty stamps and found the perfect one!
For the background I used CTMH stamps.. love the dots! 
and the challenges that inspired me:
cuttin and stampin - atg using left overs
digidesigns - anything Christmas


Page two of Zoe's book

Good morning everyone!  

turn back Julia if you are reading..


My house is chilly.. last night I noticed that the fan on the furnace won't turn off - a big sign that something is wrong.  Now it is blowing cool air or room temp air?? I have booked someone to come in but they won't be here until tomorrow between 4-8... so I guess I will have to just chill out!!  hahahah lol 
Any how I have another page for Zoe's book - page two... this is actually the backside of the title page. Love when I don't need to use different papers - leaves me more to play with ;)


Loving those cheverons!

and again the challenges that inspired me...
