Winter Visitors

With it snowing today....again............this seemed like an appropriate page to make. We have this beautiful paper available at Picture This and we cut extra titles for sale so all the hard work is done for you. I added 3 snowflakes using Cheery Lynn dies.

I will be away from the blog for a week or so now. We lost my father-in-law a month ago and now lost my mother-n-law. I wasn't able to make the trip to New Mexico for his memorial because of the store and retreat. This time I am going and the PT staff with just have to fill my shoes.

Gold dragonfly

 Second page for sale.  Lisa gave me a few of her left over ECD stickers she did up with the glitter and they just worked perfect with this paper.

       I used a gold ink pad to add gold to the dragonfly diecut to tie in with the gold stickers.

 This is a close up of the ECD stickers. Lisa and LeAnn C do a lot of classes at the store on this cool techniques. So if you ever want to learn something new......sign up for a class. And the ultrafine glitter doesn't shed so it can be used on your pages as well.  Cool. Cool.

2013

 I worked on a couple pages for sale this past Saturday while I was at the store for another of our fun All Day Crops. I only got 2 done but better than none.

I bought the 2013 die to use for my sons graduation pages this past year and this is actually the first I even opened it. 

Endless Winter

 We had a huge dumping of snow last Thursday. It was pretty but that is about it. Lol.

                                                         Our picnic table near buried.

                                       My wishing well buried. It is even wishing for spring!!

Daisy

 Our second cat we had for adoption at the store was Daisy. Miss Diva Daisy. And she was the quickest adoption the shelter had. One of our wonderful customers came in and treated herself to a birthday present. She was already approved at ECCHA so she didn't have to do the 24 hour wait.

 Daisy has very pretty markings and we hear on a regular basis that she IS a diva.  Lol.

spring...................hurry up already

 We've had such a long winter this year that I just felt like doing a spring page. I did monochromatic so it isn't showing up well on the photo. My grandma always grew Cleome and so this flower brings back lots of memories.

And this was the temp on my way to work. (2-11-14)  I think we are all weary of winter this year. And sadly, we've had these temps several times this winter.

Sunflower Montage

The last card from my first Montage class. This image is off from one of McRices's new ones. And each paper has assorted sentiments on it too to cut out and use on your cards. Ours has one that says Hello from Eau Claire, WI.
The Cheery Lynn sunflower die was the perfect addition to this bright sunny card. Just trying to beat the winter blahs here.
