A Bit of Snow

The new Pattie's Creations Challenge #82 is SNOWY SCENE - WITHIN THE IMAGE. I used the Reindeer in Snow image from Pattie's Creations.



The image has snow within the scene, but I decided it needed to look like it was snowing too. I keep hearing about everyone that is getting snow and I am kind of jealous. We don't get much snow here - maybe a 1/2 inch to 2 inches all year and it typically melts immediately. I guess it is a good thing we don't get snow because no one around here can drive on ice or snow (including myself), and the counties and cities throw dirt on the ice and pray because they have no other resources. This just makes dirty ice and isn't much help. It is cold enough to snow this morning. Hubby is going out hunting and he told me he is too old for cold mornings - maybe the deer will have a bit of a chance today because he is bundled up heavily.

Dig out your snowy image and ideas and come join us!

Hugz!

    Nancy what a lovely card, I love how you have made it "snow" in your scene.. I like the snow when I am bundled up in the house watching movies with the hubby, but HATE driving in it, our drive is on a bank and I have slide down that drive every year into the garage door, really doesnt do the car good. I am kind of hoping the snow stays away until the 19th I finish work that day and dont go back until the 2nd so wont have to worry about it.. If I don't pop in before hope you have a great Christmas and all the best for 2014 xx

    What a wonderful scene you've created. LOVE your snow and those pretty deer. I'm surprised you get any snow, Nancy. But, it does snow there occasionally, I suppose. Dirt????? Yuck what a mess that must be.
    We're going to Franklin, TN tomorrow to 'Dickens of a Christmas, then to Gaylord in Nashville. It'll be fun and two of our little munchkins and their parents will be going with us. Sounds like fun. Hope you have a grand weekend.

    Lovely scene, Nancy. We don't get snow that often out here either. Too close to the water so when it does come it is a zoo in traffic, but the kids sure have fun LOL!

    This is cute scene but I'm glad you added your snow. It really does help with the delivery of this card. Your snowflakes are also a great little addition. Oh dirty ice, doesn't sound pretty at all. LOL Enjoy the weekend.

    Love the added snow and the glittery sun. Fabulous looking card. We've already gotten a dusting, but it also included some ice. Glad I could stay home and craft instead of driving in it.

    By the light of the Silvery Moon-that's the new name for this card. I love that sparkly moon in your snow scene-this is gorgeous. No snow here and definitely no sand on ice....that sounds really messy. Your card is just darling. My DH has not gotten a deer yet. Hasn't seen a thing. He still has the rest of the week.
    Bear Hugs,

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....
