Snow business

There's no business like snow business, unless it's a warm November day that's predicted to reach 70°! No, that is not normal for the mid-west at this time of year, but I went ahead with my snowman card!

I used Splitcoast sketch 252 along with stamps from Inkadinkado to decorate the outside and inside. Both the rectangle and scallop nesties were used to make the image panel. I used brown ink to sponge along the image panel. Snowman was colored with Copics & pencils. Icicle stickles were added to the snowflakes and the curve of the snow for some sparkle.

Design paper from the Memory Box Dewfrost collection was used along with PTI cardstock. I was very happy to read that the Memory Box paper is from a certified sustainable forest program. Do you recycle your paper scraps?? I have a bag for little pieces in my work area. Makes me feel a bit less wasteful.

My card was finished, but felt like it still needed a little something. I used my Bow-Easy to make the little bow in the corner. How happy it is to be able to make one with the "flat" side on the front! I could never get my bows to turn out pretty until now!!

Well, I had the card and post done this morning, but when I went to preview it...I found out it hadn't autosaved, and lost most of my work! It had to wait until I was back home this afternoon to re-write everything! And it did reach 70 degrees today.

Happy crafting!

i {heart} papers color challenge

I'm back with another birthday bash challenge for i {heart} papers. Be sure to check it out. There are prizes for each day's challenge, and also a grand prize and a guest design spot for November.

The colors to use for this challenge were: rose, celery green, light blue, and black. I embossed both the Inkadinkado butterfly and the "Happy Birthday" sentiment. Sentiment is up on a foam dot. The butterfly is from a set called Beautiful Fairies. It was purchased last year at IHP, but is no longer in the store (fyi in case you're searching). But Kate does have other Inkadinkado sets available. Paper is all PTI.

Happy crafting!

Mojo #67

Made this card for Mojo Madness #67 on Poetic Artistry. The fairy panel is truly on straight, but it looks crooked in this picture. The blue ribbon is from a Webkinz tag! Daughter received several for Christmas, and when she cut this tag off, the ribbon was still long, and just the right length.

We had a "fairy luncheon" this summer when my Aunt Glenda visited, and this card is for her birthday. Image is Inkadinkado, design paper DCWV, base is spring moss from Papertrey Ink.

Oh yes...forgot to mention, our daughter woke us up at 3:15 am Christmas morning!! We let her open gifts with the stipulation Mommy & Daddy were going back to bed right afterwards!!

Some blog candy is up for grabs over at Spiral Whisper. They have some cute images!!

Happy Crafting!
