HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Darlene with you today.
Is it or has it been snowing at your house?
I
know my mid West and North West friends have seen a little (or a lot)
of the white stuff so far. But here in N.E. Ohio it has been
unseasonably warm and NO SNOW for Christmas this year. Of course, with
that being said, Lord only knows what the New Year will hold for us in
snow amounts! Either way, now that my holiday traveling is over, I'm
saying LET IT SNOW! LOL!
That's one
of the perks of being retired ... you can just sit in front of the
fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate and watch it come down ... can
pick & choose when to venture out into the elements! LOL
Dies I have used on today's card are:
After die cutting my Taylored Expressions die of white card stock, I adhered it to a medium blue card stock panel. THEN
I changed my mind on my design idea so fussy cut around the image with
my trusty swivel craft knife. It worked out fine since it helped set
the town image off from the white snowbank in the background. Don't you
love it when mistakes turn into great results?
My
dark background panel is from a sheet of DCWV 12x12 paper that was left
over from a school project I was helping the neighbor girl with before
the holidays began. (Yep trying to do a little 'clean up' while I'm
creating!)
A
white gelly roll pen was used to make additional snow in the background
and the 'town die cut' was popped up with Recollections thick pop
dots. Love the added dimension it gave my wintry scene.
Did you see there's a new challenge beginning today at our Dies R Us Challenge Blog? The theme is 'SOMETHING NEW'. We hope you'll come join in the fun and I look forward to seeing your NEW creations!
Till next time . . .
