We give up.  I think this was the 4th week in a row that we got over a foot of snow.  We're buried.  Can't see around corners to pull out of side streets or driveways, it's awful.  Roofs are collapsing.  Today they are worried about power outages.  OY - I want Spring!

OK enough whining - at least being snowed in gives me a good excuse to craft!  Today we have a new challenge for you at:

I used Big Eye Back to School Geek Girl from Oddball Art Stamps, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  I kept it simple, layering her on DP and using a piece of the DT as an embellishment.  emrel.  Peace.
