I needed to make some of my cards for my January workshop so I thought I would use a few sketch challenges to make one. I saw Mary Jo’s Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge and knew it would make a great snowflake card. We also have a doodling challenge at Late Night Stampers. I thought it would be fun to add some doodles to this card also. I have to admit I changed my…
Well many of us will get our wish for a white Christmas. The weatherman says we are going to get snow in the afternoon of Christmas Day.

I began with Not Quite…

I found a great page in my magazine that was red and thought I could use the rose from Fifth Avenue Floral to make a rose. I began by embossing the rose 4 times on the page and cutting out different layers to give…
Happy Saturday! Well we are gearing up for another snow storm here tomorrow. They aren’t sure what path it will take and how much we will get but let’s just say this one is coming from the south and typically we get walloped in those cases unless it goes out to sea. This is shades of last year but the first one was not as much snow as last years. I managed to shovel the…
