winter weather

done for a winter weather swap. I for some odd reason like this unknown unmounted snowman but never really have a chance to use it because it is kinda sad. For this swap it was perfect. we have had (knock on wood) a mild winter and compared to the last two a very welcome sight. So its a melting snowman with a little grass showing through and a bare tree. It was kind of plain so I added some blowing cold breeze to keep the snowman alive for a short more time and some crystals to make the snow.

A Kittie surprise

I received a wonderful card in the mail from one of my favorite bloggers. Actually I first saw Kittie Caracciolo on split coast stampers and have always admired her work. Her blogs showcase her cards with tutorials and information check her out you will be pleasantly surprised at the details she puts into her cards. She even has her own line of stamps on rubber necker which after the holidays I think I will need to own some of. Someday I hope to be this good.


My husband was intrigued by the snowballs. they are just like the snow very textured. I am assuming she used liquid applique on them. My photos don't show all the sparkle and fun that she has added tot he card.

A prized card it will be on my tree of honor. hmm I am going to have to take a picture of that one day. It runneth over at the moment I think I need a bigger one.
