Misha Warms My Heart

Hi Crafty Friends,
This cute little deer is Misha from Freakin' Cute Stamps. I made two snowy coffee Christmas cards with her using the Build Your Holiday Stash Sketch. I was inspired by the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #111 Snow Day and ABC Christmas Challenge L is for Let is Snow for my snowy creations because my favorite thing to do on a snow day is to drink hot drinks!
