I {Heart} Snow Days

Most of you are well aware of the fact that I'm NOT a fan of Winter and Cold!

I am however, a fan of sweet snow scenes and Snow Days!

Snow day's give us the perfect opportunity to stay in where it's warm and create.

That being said, an odd romp in the snow is acceptable. I've been known to Cross Country Ski on occasion as well as engage in the odd snowball fight and snow man build! I didn't mind some chilly play when Jonathon was a young lad, but it's not much fun out in the cold by oneself!

I created this sweet card for The Cats Pajama's Inspiration Challenge

I coloured the sweet Bun with my Touch Twin Markers!

Snowflake Lace Paper Cut Ups

Cloud Border Cut Ups

Snow Day

Going to take 8 snow days to have some Beach Play in Jamaica!!! 

I think making a sand castle is more conducive to my aging bones!!!!

Have a WONDERFUL Monday!

I love Monday's because we're four days closer to Friday~

Admit One

Today, I took a little time just to stamp for me! I got some fun stamps from The Cat's Pajamas last month, and had only inked one up so far. The Challenge on Splitcoaststampers yesterday was to use Ribbon in a fun and fancy way. As you can see, I rolled my ribbon and used it to ground the little pennants in the sweet paper. 

Isn't this little Barker Bear Cute!? I coloured him with my Touch Twin Markers. 

The Mix of Designer Papers are from the Simple Stories Life Documented line and include Celebrate Life and Life is Good. I cut the little pennants right out of the paper!!! Other little doodads include misc Ribbon, Stitching, Wire and the SU Tag Punch.

For those of you who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, I hope you enjoyed a wonderful Holiday.

See you tomorrow with my C4C post

Happy Stamping!

Crazy 4 Challenges 112-Wrap it up!

Before we get into the challenge today, we would like to welcome a new member to the "Crazies" Design Team. Please welcome Dawn Easton - TreasureOilerDesignz, I know you will love Dawn's creations!
 Our Hostess with the MOSTEST this month is sweet Joycelyn and here's what she has to say about the challenge:


Hello to all you Crazies out there and a big WARM WELCOME to Dawn!!!!
It's Joycelyn here and I'm hoping you'll all join me in the challenges that I've come up with for the next month!!
To start off, this week's challenge is to WRAP IT UP! With the holidays fast approaching, let’s see how you’ll give a gift that personal touch! (boxes, bags, gift card holders, etc)

I don't have a Christmasy project for you. When I was getting ready to complete my challenge project, my fun stamps from The Cat's Pajamas had just arrived in the mail. I had to put some ink to stamp and create with this adorable Away we go stamp by the Cat's Pajamas

I coloured my bunny with my Touch Twin Markers. I created the little bag with my Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge, sponging the edges for some added dimension. I paper pieced the Balloon with some fun paper from Jillibean Soup. The Brad is from SU!  I sponged lightly inside of the nestie template and around the image using Caribbean ink, leaving some white space to create the fluffy clouds.

Make sure you follow the links on my sidebar to see all of the Crazy Creations!
