SNOW DAY . . .

Since it is a SNOW DAY all across the area ... it's a good time to play & create!

For the TAG CHALLENGE over at Joan's Gardens ... I got inky and dove into my Tim Holtz distress inks for my background tag.  I've also used his 'Symphony Tape' prior to inking.  The image comes from last weeks Picture & Scrap Challenge (I had an extra print laying on my worktable and thought "hey, can I use this?")  The chipboard flourishes are from K&Co and were an RAK from my friend Terri Snode (Terri's Cards 'n More).

 Over on the Crafty Secrets forum of Splitcoast Stampers, LoriLynn has challenged us to 'Create a Bookmark' using our Crafty Secrets / Heartwarming Vintage products.  I have used paper from the "Radiant" paper pack, a vine flourish stamp from the small stamp set called "Birdies at Home" and my letters come from the "Altered Alphabet & More Booklet."  All of these products are Crafty Secrets/Heartwarming vintage.  The only exceptions are the gold border was done with a gold Pilot marker, May Arts Ribbon, Martha Stewart Butterfly punch and Stampendous Diamond Dots.

One more thing I would like to share with you today are two cards I created using digital stamps from  the Peter Rabbit Collection over at Nicecrane Designs.  Ignacio has been creating up a storm and has SO MANY NEW images  ... you really must go check it out for yourself.

Aren't they just the cutest!  He has various childhood story book images for you to purchase & create with ... Alice in Wonderland ... Red Riding Hood ... Peter Rabbit ... just to name a few!  And if you enjoy vintage like I do ... Ignacio has a vast array of images to satisfy that desire ... such as Vintage Fashion ... Victorian Children ... Working Woman ... and many, many more.  AND... don't forget to check out the PYRAMID sheets .. they really pack the WOW factor once created!  He's even got a template for the pyramid sheets now to help you out!  Please ... go take a peek ... you won't be sorry!

A couple of challenges I'd like to enter these cards into are:
Cupcake Craft - Old MacDonald had a Farm
Stamps R Us - Animals
Daring Cardmakers - Year of the Rabbit
Totally Papercrafts - for the kiddies


WELL ... it is STILL snowing & blowing outside ... I'm headed back to the crafting cave!  See you later!
Hugs,
Darlene
