Good Morning Stampers!
Editted to add my card was chosen as the Top Nacho at Nacho Average Challenges!
Well we got about 10 inches of snow yesterday. That is the most we have had in a while. Yesterday afternoon I did some shoveling of my driveway. After this little bit I am so going to check into a snow blower. Not that we need it that often but when we do we have one and I won’t have to shovel any more. I also took Zoie sledding. I had picked up a saucer when I was out on Monday shopping on the premise we would get enough snow to use it. Well we did. On the side of my house is the state road that goes down to the end for everyone to use. To give use some privacy, the Home Owners Association put in berms along the road. That means I have berms on the side of my yard. Well these berms were the perfect size for her at her age. I took her out and we had a blast with me launching her down the hill. She also made a few snow angels. She did not want to come in but she was soaked and cold. Was I sore last night!
Today is the Coloring Down the Lines blog hop. I chose the colors for this challenge.
Stampin’ Up color matches
When I saw these colors I remembered I had used Blackberry Bliss for a project on my crafting day last week. I saw online a fabulous flower made out of dryer sheets. I decided I wanted to try this out. I cut my flowers using the Flower Frenzy Bigz die. After I cut them I dyed them using reinker and alcohol. To add some extra pizzazz I added some Dazzling Details around the edges.
I saw a simple sketch at Nacho Average Challenges.
I also saw a chevron challenge at CAS on Sunday that I wanted to use. Here is the card I made using the flower and the challenges.
