Snow Much Fun

This year North Dakota has had the coldest winter I've ever experienced. We've spent too many weeks in the deep negatives. For once I wish it would at least warm up enough to snow!!! In the spirit of that humorous thought I made this Thank You card.

My handsome snowman is made with the negative of three overlapping circles.

He was a snap to make and looks dashing with his twine scarf.

Supplies:

Paper:Crate Paper

Enamel Accents:Ranger

Twine:Jillibean Soup

While digging through boxes last week to find an old address I came across these photos of my daughters.

Their expressions are hilarious!!!

My youngest hated pigtails and was always pulling them out.

They snapped the photo just after she pulled

 the rubberband off of one braid.

Take Risks

So happy to be a part of the Kiwi Lane Designs blog hop this month.

For my project I received the Tiny Accents set of templates.

These Designer Templates are so easy to trace around that I used them as layering pieces all over my layout.

Splash of Blue

Paper Girls Challenge Blog #51

Photo Inspiration

Kristina challenges us to use this photo for inspiration:

I was inspired by the mosaic look, the blue, and the silver.

~ Splash of Blue ~

As you can see I've recently had a "splash of blue" added to my hair. I had fun dripping acrylic paint down the page to represent my blue streaks. The first set of drips were too thick so I added a little water and tried again. I like both results.

 

Supplies:

Paper:Martha Stewart, Darice, MME

Acrylic Paint:Plaid

Flowers:Imaginisce

Brads:Recollections

Alpha:American Crafts

Staples:Making Memories

Ribbon, Sequins:Stash

Hex Punch:Fiskars

Twine:MME

Border Punches:Kreaxions
