Wow... look at the snow!!

Well despite often being threatened with snow where I live it is very rare to get any amount of snow over a few flakes. So this weather today is absolutely amazing, I remember once when I worked in London the snow being bad there, but obviously not as bad as today with no buses running and the underground shut too... The children's schools were shut so they have been home all day, totally amazing how on a school day, you cannot get them out of bed, but today, they were out early building snowmen. Even my husband didn't chance getting into work and has worked from home today.... so here is the children's handiwork.

I have no idea what we are having for dinner tonight as I haven't managed to get out shopping today, so will have to dig down in the freezer to find something.

Anyway, despite placing a Stampin' Up! order and taking photo's of children, I have managed to make a card using my card challenge, not sure I really like it, but was distinctly missing my mojo today even though I thought my card challenge would inspire me.

I have used Real Red and Brilliant Blue Cardstock, the image is from a Level 3 Hostess Set, Window Dressing and the sentiment is from the A Bit of Birthday Cheer stamp set. The buttons were from my stash and the paper I have had for ages, not sure what it is....

Be careful in the snow and have a good evening all xx

Thought I Would Go For Something Different....

Yep, I was getting bored with those colours, so thought I would try something different today, and stamped and coloured some images... It is my little boys birthday on Saturday, so thought I would be really prepared and make him a card, didn't use too much Stampin' Up! today either...

I used my Prismacolor Pencils, Sansodor and Paper Stumps to colour in the Sugar Nellie image. The patterned paper is Basic Gray, I also used the Stampin' Up! Hodgepodge Hardware, and tied a piece of Kraft Taffetta Ribbon (also Stampin' Up!) to a piece of the Hardware. The big eyelet is surprisingly enough also Stampin' Up!. The sentiment is from the stamp set A Bit of Birthday Cheer. I used Kraft Cardstock for the card blank.

I again used Basic Gray Paper, the card blank and red cardstock is Real Red from Stampin' Up! as are the brads and the ribbon. The image is from Leanne Ellis which I bought from Funky Kits and it is coloured in using my Stampin' Up! waterbrush and Tim Holtz Distress Inks. The flowers are Prima and the sentiment is the same as the last card from A Bit of Birthday Cheer Stamp Set. For the inside I used Pumpkin Pie, Basic Gray and Whisper White Cardstock... I dont have anyone in mind for this card so will put it in my very depleted card basket.

My son's basketball team lost their tournament yesterday, in fact they only won one game, so better luck next time guys....

And today is also my little Pug's birthday, Happy Birthday to you Belle, she is 2 today.... this is a rare photo of her sleeping on her own, she normally sleeps on top of our Great Dane...

Have a great evening everyone.. take care xx
