It's Snowing in the Sisterhood!

Snow, snow, and oh yeah, snow, was pretty much the theme issued by Debbie (SCS=Meredithangelmom), our hostess for November over in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Cards. I knew right away that I would use the super-cute "Love You This Much" set from Sweet 'n Sassy, which was a gift from a dear stampin' friend (thanks, sweetie!).

I tossed around several color combos before choosing the ever-popular red, light blue, and white. It always looks so good for snow people, don't you think?! No fancy layout, so I just jazzed things up with some fun pompom trim and glittered accents. Here's a close-up so you can see the sparkle and the shimmery background DP, although the color in the photo is a little off.

Technically, we're supposed to make standard-size cards, but the scalloped panel looked *so* much better on a 5-1/4" square, so I included square envies for the gals as well. I really like the way these turned out, so I made a couple extra for myself!

We've had snow showers in my neck of the woods for several days now. Nothing major, just a few inches here and there, but it's really adding to the holiday mood for me! I'm always hoping we have a white Christmas, and the long-range forecase is looking pretty good for that! YAY!

I'm glad you stopped by for a visit, and I'll hope you'll let me know you were here! Have a wonderful day! Let it snow!

Lighthouse for Dad

I am nothing more than woefully behind in posting my card creations, and while I'd really like to post them in the order I created them, that's just not going to happen. Soooooo...

This is the card I made for my dad for Father's Day! I created it from yet another card kit; this one is from Lorie. Such a beautiful image to color, and the patterned paper was perfect! (Please, no comments on the number of Copics I used; I'm still learning!)

Lorie included a great bag o' goodies in the kit, but I remembered I had these tarnished brass buttons in a jar given to me by a friend that I've been itching to use. And see this little flower? I crocheted it myself! I used the same crochet cotton to thread and tie the buttons on the card.

So what (and when) will I be posting next? Who knows ... I guess you'll just have to check back to find out. Tee-hee-hee!

Thanks for stopping by to visit. Have a great day!
