Winter Birthday

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

So far our storm has produced sleet and not a lot of freezing rain.

We are warm and still have power.  As I write this the precipitation has

started again.  They are predicting freezing rain again.  Hopefully it won't

cause problems for us.  However, this storm has caused a lot of problems

all across the country.  Prayers go out to those without power in these

freezing conditions.

So today was a crafting day...

I am still enjoying those Greetery dies and embossing folders that I got

for Christmas.

The die cut oval was embossed with the center of the Shortbread Shapes Snowflake.

I patted over the embossing with a white inkpad to highlight the snowflakes and

added a tiny snowflake sequin to the center.

AAA Birthday Game #81 - Winter Birthday

Petal Perfection

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

The weather reports are all predicting some really cold temperatures

and freezing precipitation over much of the United States.  We are as

prepared as we can be and expecting freezing rain.  Hopefully we won't lose

power but in case we do, I'm posting this card now.

I used Jen T.'s sketch at Freshly Made Sketches to make a birthday card for

my sister-in-law.

I used the stencil from the Petal Perfection stencil and die set to color some

flowers and die cut them to arrange in place of the circles in Jen's sketch.

Since I used a stencil, I'll share this at Just Us Girls where Bobby is asking for

anything using a stencil.

I pray that we all stay safe through this storm and maybe get some

crafty time during it.

Snowman Hugs

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

We finally had a little snowstorm.  It lasted about 10 minutes.

It was so pretty!

Not enough for a snowman so I had to go with paper.

I found some blues in my background box.  I think they were mop ups, but I 

hadn't written down what I did.

I cut an oval and embossed it then swiped some white ink over the raised snowflakes.

This little bundled snowman was a Christmas present.

The layout is Judy's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the colors from Inkspirational.

Happy Birthday Double D

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've been having lots of fun playing with some Christmas presents.

The Rosemal collection really caught my eye and I asked Santa for it for my

Christmas gift.  I'm so glad he complied!

The embossing is amazing and you know how much I love my embossing folders.

 The flowers were cut from mixed media paper and colored with re-inkers.

I love all the details and dimension that the die cut pieces add!

Happy Birthday Double D!
