2 SKETCHES 4 YOU CHALLENGE

THIS IS MY CARD FOR LAURA'S SKETCH 18. I STEMMA PRETTY PETALS PAPER FOR MY BACKGROUND, WITH MAKING MEMORIES RASPBERRY SMALL DOTS. THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAG IS FROM PAPER BLISS. THE CUTE CAKE AND RHINESTONE ACCENTS ARE BY BEST OCCASIONS. I LOVED USING ALL THE DIFFERENT PINKS.







RAE'S BONUS SKETCH WAS FUN TO WORK WITH. FOR THIS CARD I CREATIVE IMAGINATIONS PAPER AND STICKERS, WITH OFFRAY RIBBON AND DARICE'S SELF SICK GEMS. I ENJOYED WORKING WITH ALL THE SPRING COLORS.

SNOWY DAY

WELL, THE WEATHER FORECAST THIS MORNING IS SNOW, SNOW AND MORE SNOW. WHILE THIS AREA IS STILL GETTING OVER THE MAJOR ICE AND SNOW STORM THIS WEEK, THEY ARE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT THE ONE FOR NEXT WEEK.
I MADE THESE CARDS THE OTHER DAY. THE BACKGROUND PAPER IS FROM A PAPER PAD BY ME AND MY BIG IDEAS. THE PINK PAPER IS THE NEW RASPBERRY FIZZ FROM PAPERTRAY INK. IT WAS A GIFT FROM AMBER.


I LOVE THE BACKGROUND PAPER FOR THIS CARD, BUT I LOVE ANYTHING WITH BUTTERFLIES. I AGED THE EDGES WITH A LITTLE BIT OF BROWN INK AND ADDED SOME LEFT OVER TRIM.

THIS PICTURE IS FROM THE ICE STORM. THIS IS THE TREE NEXT TO MY HOUSE.




MORE SNOW.




THIS IS ONE OF FOUR DOGS. THIS IS OZZIE. HE IS A BEAGLE MIX.




IT'S TO BAD CAMERON DOESN'T LIKE SNOW.

THIS IS MY FIRST BLOG ENTRY EVER! I AM EXCITED AND READY TO GET TO WORK. IT'S COLD AND SNOWY OUT TODAY. AS MUCH AS I LOVE SNOW, I AM READY FOR THIS ROUND TO MELT. CAMERON AND I STAYED INSIDE TODAY. THE WINTER MONTHS CAN MAKE THE PERFECT CRAFT TIME. I WORKED ON THESE TWO CARDS TODAY. THE YELLOW'S REMINDED ME OF SPRING AND WARMER WEATHER.
