We woke up to snow on the ground this morning. It seemed too early for white sidewalks, but the weatherman quickly pointed out that we'd already had two inches by this time last year. It's perfect weather for hanging out in my studio and getting some things marked off of my creative to-do list that have to get done this weekend. I'll be traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday, so I will miss out on a long weekend in my studio.
I decided to use the scraps that had accumulated on my table for Beate's weekend sketch. It was perfect for some quick and flat holiday cards.
The cardstock is from Core'dinations. I really love the great weight, texture (one side has no texture so you can flip it over to stamp in detail), and color palette of their papers. The designer paper is Fiskars Heidi Grace Designs Shimmer Flocked Paper Frost Boulevard. The Michael's $1 sentiment is stamped in Prussian Blue chalk on white shimmery cardstock and clear embossed. I finished with some ticket corner punches and a shimmer paper snowflake (new Martha Stewart punch).
It turned out that the winner of my last blog candy giveaway MissIowa lives near me. I decided to deliver the blog candy in person, so we could meet.
She was at a late night crop at our local scrapbooking store All About Pictures, so I popped in to admire the beautiful holiday cards she was making. I love having so many 'virtual' stamping friends, but it's always great to meet people face-to-face.
I’ve been recently diggin’ dark blues…love your card with the dark and powdery blue! How fun to meet your blog winner!
ACK! You know how they say the camera adds 10 pounds? Well Stef had at least 5 cameras pointed at me. (tee hee) Thank you for all of the fabulous blog candy and for delivering it in person. I hope to create some beautiful things with all my new goodies.
Great colors, I love that shimmery DP! How fun to meet up in person….just let me know next time your in Korea. I’d love to meet 🙂
hugs, Jami
Love the colours you have used here. The shimmery one just takes my breath away!
and again i say, “snow cards…GOOOOOOD; real snow…BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!” (you should tell your weather man, i think; he seems a bit complacent on this topic!)
How wonderful and that Snowflake really is the perfect final touch! Love your whole design.
