Man's and Girl's Best Friend

Happy Sunday.  Well the temperature went up and the snow is melting fast. Leaving behind

puddles everywhere.  Hard to believe a foot of snow could go down so fast.

Glad for the little wild animals who feed at my bird feeder, bunnies, squirrels and

two young deer, as food is scarce when is that cold and snowy.

I bought this digi from the January release at Whimsy Stamps and then hadn't had

a chance to color it up.  So Whimsy is running their monthly facebook challenge

and they want you to use a Whimsy image that you would not normally think to

use for a theme of Love/Valentine.

Who doesn't think of  love when they think of their dog!!!!

Digi - Man's Best Friend

Two small red hearts punched

Paper White, black, royal blue cardstock

Sentiment is computer generated.

Colored with Copic Markers

Clouds sponged with Marvy blue die ink against

a torn paper towel.

Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Snowman

Hello blogging friends.  Rough week here in the Buffalo, New York area.  We had

a foot of snow here in a northern suburb and the temperatures were below zero all

week.  Schools were closed for the last three days.  The Thruway and some 

main arteries were also closed.  So since we are retired we just hunkered down

except to clear snow and stayed warm. I made soup and baked cookies.

 Both my daughter and son-in-law are

teachers and kids are in college, so everyone was home too.

So, I bought this Whimsy snowman stamp (Candle Light) SZWS193) back

in early December and never got the chance to color it up and make a card.

This week seemed like a great time to do just that!!!

Paper - Glitter white,Gray and green card stock, and designer paper BOBunny

Evergreen tree die unknow, Wooded trees die, Gina Marie

White card stock base, card is 51/2x51/2 inches square.

Colored with Copics

Thanks for stopping by today,  have a good day, Until later....
