Michigan Christmas 2015

Howdy Crafters - Today I was inspired by the weather that took place here in Michigan on Christmas Day to create this Christmas/Winter card. 
Those who live in Michigan are used to having at least some SNOW on the ground Christmas Day - however, this year, it was a nice and sunny day - at least in Grand Blanc -so nice and warm that hubby did not wear a coat to the family gathering. As for me, I like SNOW on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and then it could be in the 70's all year long - I know, in my dreams! Needless to say, I was Dreaming of a White Christmas this year, but basically this card depicts what Christmas Day really was like on December 25, 2015.
Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely week! ~ Gail ~
