Finally! We have snow! Winter is here - great for the skiers and snowmobilers and all those who love to play outside in all this lovely white stuff. Myself, all I see is something that needs to be pushed out of the way with a shovel. Yuk! That said, winter does provide lots of outdoor photo ops resulting in some pretty spectacular layouts. I love the layout Winter Angel I finished a couple weeks ago. Check out the snowman embellishment I used at paperandpiecings.com and while you’re there, sign up to receive our occasional free pattern. As for right now, thanks for dropping by and help yourself to Chill, another great pattern from paperandpiecings.com.

Been quite busy the past couple weeks and have done very little in the craft room. Today, however, I added a counter (unique visitors only) and once I hit the 500 mark, I plan to draw for a little yummy blog candy. More details on this later in the week. For now, to enter and be eligible, be sure to say Hi in the comment section. Cheers! It’s off to the craft room to find a little something appetizing to tempt you!
January 30th - Just added another counter - all hits - curious me is wondering what the difference is.

This week’s Mojo Monday inspired the following card:

I ussed StampinÚp’s Real Red cardstock and the Sending Love Specialty DP. Happy Valentine’s Day is from their stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes (what a great versatile set that is!) and the white lace edging uses the new SU scallop punch. Also used their oval and Modern Label punches. I stamped the Hero Arts Fancy Dress onto the DP and cut out. Not sure where I got the Kiss and I Love You stamps but I do use them a lot. I scanned the card rather than photographing - seems I’m always finishing this stuff at night - and I”m pleased with the result. Got that tip from a fellow scrapper’s blog through Monjo Monday postings. Thank you!
I so enjoy the Mojo Monday challenge - gets you in the mood right at the beginning of the week. However, I’d best get out of the mood now because morning comes early and it’s not Friday yet! Please leave a comment. I’d love to hear from you! And - just for fun and because I love my sister so much - check out her blog at http://jackiescreativepapercrafts.blogspot.com/ Jackie is pretty new to this but she’s having a blast and she is very creative - I think she’s going to have a lot of neat stuff on her site and you might want to sign on as a follower sooooo, for sisterhood’s sake - and because I know Jack would like someone other than her dorky sister leaving a comment, take a minute and check her out.
Have a great week!
Jean
