Snow Day

 Hello everyone... I do have a quick card to show you, but first the 'Snow Bulletin' - are you having fun in the snow yet?? I won't be venturing out anywhere today - the roads are pretty much blocked and it's starting to come down again. I feel a film day coming on!

Here's a photo taken from my back door this morning - since then we have had another few inches of snow - 

and Suzie is beginning to get lost in it.

Here's my CAS card - another quick make to add to the pile.  I would like to enter it for the following challenges..

Papertake - Sketch. (I did rotate the centre elements, so that my image would fit).

Allsorts - Monochrome

Digital Tuesday - Animals at Christmas Time.

Top Tip Tuesday - Anything Goes

Digital Image - freebie from Ladybug and Friends        DP Dovecraft Christmas Fancy
Pearls and ribbon from my stash.    Snowflake covered with Diamond Dust.

Bah Humbug !!!

Can you believe there are people out there that actually don't like Christmas!!! And my brother is one of them, so when I saw this image I knew it would be perfect for his card. :-)

This cute 'gruffy little gnome' is from Meljen's designs, and is coloured with Copics.

I made the little 'Bah Humbug' tag on my comp - if anyone would like it, it's on my side bar (just right click on it and save it to your comp).

 Challenges

Papertake - A fab sketch by Dawny, with the chance to win a WOY Christmas stamp.

A Spoon Full Of Sugar - Sonja would like to see 'Snow/Snowflakes' and Bunny Zoe's Crafts is this week's sponsor.

Let it snow... just not yet !!

Now that we're in November, I need to step up my Christmas card making - here's one I made for a good friend,  I know she will appreciate the non-traditional style.

 I used the gorgeous 'First Snow' digi stamp from Sassy Studio Designs   coloured with Copics. I 3D'd the girl and coloured the background in with a pale green Copic and some stickles glitter. The green doesn't show up too well on the photo!!
