Merry Christmas


Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

We are so snowed in!  Has been blowing and snowing all day
today and started yesterday afternoon.  Can't even
see across the street.  AND, very cold.  So we will wait
it out until it is safe to travel the mile to our daughters
house to celebrate Christmas. 

A driving ban has been in effect since yesterday
and since being able to see where you are going
is essential, don't know when it will be lifted.

We are grateful that we didn't have to go
without power! Many have lost power for
three days now.

Bio.
I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.
I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

Christmas Village

Hi Friends, we have had two days of snow and two days of clean
up after the snow. We were actually lucky, only got about a foot
and a half, others are still digging out. Our Buffalo Bills football
team had to fly to Detroit to play as they have a domed stadium
and ours isn't, and the clean up of the open air stadium is going
to be massive as they got the most snow, 77 inches!!!

I tackled the Honey Bee die set of the Winter Village as long
as we aren't venturing out in order to let the snow plows do
there job!

Lots of small pieces, but was fun and relaxing to put together.



The cloud paper is from Paper Wishes
The snow Acetate is from Hunky Dory
Used Star Dust Stickles and White Opal
Liquid Pearls for the snow on the top of the trees
Bottom portion of the card is white glitter card
stock and cotton with a little blue ink

I left the dies on the piece of card stock they
came on and cut them out several times so
I would have lots o extra pieces. I colored
with Copics.

Thanks for stopping by today for a peek.
Until later.....

Ho Ho Ho


Card Front


 Inside of card





I saw a card like this on Pinterest.  The person who posted it even supplied a
link for directions, But when I clicked on the link, it showed a different
card and no directions.

I liked this so much I made my version of the card.  

The papers I used are from Christmas paper pads from Hobby Lobby
from the past couple of years.
