Good Tuesday Morning!! We are expecting a snowstorm to come in tomorrow morning...oh yay...there will likely be no school again tomorrow...oh yay.

There is so much about this card that did not photograph well. Lets start off with the fact that all the cardstock is eggplant...not black. :( I just couldn't lighten it up in the photo editing phase either. Also the Designer paper has an all over shimmer to it. And the little rhinestones on the snowflake are a lavender. The white ribbon has silver snowflakes on it. This card is just not photogenic!

I ordered some Spiral Whisper stamps back in October and I am just now getting around to inking them up. I figured I better ink up the winter ones before I started making spring cards! LOL!

Last week I had a big give away...lots of visits here! But some of you have actually stuck around and commented on my cards AFTER it was all over! How kind!! So for you people I am offering you a chance at another prize! It's fun to give stuff away! :) Leave a comment under this post letting me know what type of challenges you like to participate in (sketch, color, inspiration...etc...) to be entered to win a Martha Stewart Valentine Border Punch! But keep this on the down low....only faithful readers can get in on this one!!!!

Have a Toasty Tuesday!!

Happy Hump Day! How was your Tuesday? A few months back we ordered from Spiral Whisper. This owl stamp is one that Kristen got. I stamped a few images for myself. I think the image is so cute! But I attempted this guy once before and made a mess of him. Kristen posted a cute card with him yesterday and inspired me to try again. I am not thrilled with him...I think I need more brown Copics...more! more! more! hahahaha


Notice my "whimsical sewing" attempt again? I am so pitiful with that machine. I was trying to go for a country-ish look...yeaaaaaaah...instead, I got a drunk red-neck look. tsk...tsk...tsk... But I was inspired to maybe use it again in the future. But I think until I practice a little more, I should stick with straight lines and my "messy on purpose/whimsical sewing" look. :P

Don't forget about the blog candy that I mentioned here.

Have a Halcyon Wednesday!
