Snow Much Fun




Hi all! Brrr, baby it's cold outside.  We are suppose to have a snow storm coming sometime Friday.  That only means I will return to a hibernating period, LOL.  I avoid the snow and ice at all costs.  With my fragile bones, I cannot afford to fall.  I have already broken my shoulder, wrist and lower arm. Yeah, I'm a mess.  What I do now is always prepare with food and crafts.  Then I just relax and stay safe. 
Now on to my card.  I used Create a Critter, Everyday Paper Dolls and Winter Woodland carts.  This is the 1st time I use the adorable seal.  It is amazing that there are still cuts I haven't used on Create a Critter cart. and I have had it for over a year now.  From my stash I used Recollection gems, Robin's Creative Cottage stamp sentiment(I won 2 Christmas' ago), Recollections min snowflake punch, Studio G white glitter and PK-135 Bear Facial Features/PK-493 EverydayFace Parts & PK white gel pen.  Thanks for joining me.

Timeless


I had so much fun making this card.  I decided to make a JoyFold card to do something different.  I used kraft paper for all the cover layers and stamped them with several Timeless stamps from Hot Off The Press. I also embossed them with a Tim Holtz Clocks folder. I added some ribbon from 3GJ, a cool brad with a planet design on it.  The clock on the front of the card and sentiment are also from the Timeless set.  The cricut cart. used was Wild Card for the stars.  All the kraft paper was inked with Momeento Rich Cocoa & Studio G rown ink.  Thank for stopping by.
