Snowball fight!!

Tag, your it! Love this snow guy... actually snowballs. So adorable. The saying is from TAC, thought it was kind of appropriate... snowflakes don't linger.... they become blankets of snow over the scenery, or they become compacted ice under your tires, or they become cute snowmen, or wicked snowballs.... which helps them to linger a bit longer!!!

Be forewarned, winter snow advisories have been out for 24 hours, it's the biggest snow of the season, we're going to get inches and feet of snow. I'll let you know how it turns out tomorrow. The panic of breaking news that it is snowing in December in the mid-west. Go figure!

What can yellow do for you?

Here's a bright and shiny snowman decked all out in nontraditional yellow. He is an image from last year, but using copic markers and a shading technique I learned, I think he looks more 3-D. Now what I mean by an image from last year.... I probably got tired of making holiday cards, but I still liked all the cute images out there, so I made tons of extra 2"x3" doodles and drawings of other people's cute stuff, put it in my Christmas bin of merry-ment, to now be surprised and use them on card fronts. Simple as finding the right layout!

It snowed a flurry or two again last night. So far, this kind of winter I can handle. I even got a little Christmas shopping done over the weekend. Feeling a bit productive... oh yay! also got the tree up, and the stockings are hung by the chimney with care too!! Happy Day.

Stuff your stockings

Would he melt in your Christmas stocking, melt in your mouth, melt in your arms? Another snow man! Go figure! I got a million of em folks!!! There's no man like a snow man!
The only embellishment is the snowflake button.

We have a nice blanket of snow on the grass, it's about 22 degrees out.... brrrr... sipping some Chai Tea. Can it get any better than this, on a Saturday monring? I think not! Enjoy your day!

A cupo' joe in the s'no

I'm like butta.... I'm on a roll, with snowman that is. Here is another cute guy with some holly & berries on his hat and a few marshmellows in his drink. I just took scraps and layered them out in a sort of order and stitched them to the background paper... to give it an eclectic feel. Added some white gel dots and circles and lines to draw interest to the corners. Kim did you get your snow? We have a nice icy layer everywhere.

OMG, TGIF!!! This week seemed soooooooooooooooo long. Now I'm worried about getting decorations up, and finding stocking stufferes, and getting cards out.... oh yeah, although I'm outta the house now 40+ hours, whose going to be my cleaning lady???? Furry dog bunnies in the corner, half laundry folded, dishes in the sink.... I'm not cut out for full time (not even) work.... it's too much work to have both jobs!!! Thank you, I will step down now!!!

Never tire of snowmen

I probably should have a separte post just for all the different kinds of snowmen I've found to re-create over the years. This cute guy was in last years stash as well. I had made the swirled background card stock, but couldn't find a use for it... then this guy fit right in the middle, I added a few snowflakes, white gel pen, oh.... maybe a little glitter glue?? Can't remember.... and voila!!! Many of these cards don't have a sentiment, so I can add it when I send it out to that someone special who needs a party on a card.

I was thinking... right now I'm temping at a gift card company.... my creative greetings !! are a card that is the gift!! Yeh, yeh.... not too funny this morning.... over cast and cloudy, nothing to laugh at. Hi ho.... it's off to work I go!

How about a warm mug and a howdy?

This is an image from my bin (last years stuff) that I added a few more pines to the hedge hog's spine to fill him out a bit.... I guess my coloring in last year was slacking.... they look much better now. Nothing too hard here. A fun warm greeting card. Just going through my stash of cards, that are for sale by the way. $2 each. They look like they are having a great conversation, don't you think??

I'm off to the high school.... seems Sissy forgot to bring her reading book to school. Mmmmm, will she remember these nice things her mommy did for her? Then off to work stuffing envelopes with $5 pizza hut cards!!! Happy Day!
