Let It Snow . . .

 . . . so I can keep playing!  LOL!

When I snows, I just stay in where it's warm and get creative!  Well ... there was supposed to be a 'clipper system' come through Ohio today so I was all ready to craft!  (Snow hasn't happened yet!) But I was in the crafting cave and couldn't see outside so I just kept playing . . . LOL . . . here's what I have for you today.

 First is a challenge over at Sugar Creek Hollow.  I know ... I just showed you last week's card ... but I was AFRAID of this one so got an early start ... WASN'T AS BAD AS I WAS EXPECTING!  The challenge was to use FABRIC on your creation.  I found this pretty piece of yellow lacy fabric in my stash ... wrapped it around a piece of white cardstock and used it for my background panel.  You really need to take a moment and pop over to see what the DT came up with ... they are AMAZING!!!

The image I have used is from Sugar Creek Hollow and other than coloring & adding a little sparkle with Stampendous Diamond Dots ... this beautiful image can stand on it's own!!  Be sure to check out their store.

My second card today is another Nicecrane Designs Pyramid Twist Digi creation. This particular digi image comes from the Water Babies 3 Collection and is so unique!  I just love these Pyramid digis. If you haven't taken the time to pop over and check these out ... I urge you to do so.  Once you do one ... you'll want to do more!

I've used JoAnn's Whisper Strokes markers for my coloring and you don't need many embellishments with an image like this ... so I have only used a Martha Stewart butterfly punch, a McGill dragonfly punch and finally used this cattail image that I've had colored / cut / sticking up on my station for over a year! Sorry can't remember who this stamp belongs to.

A couple other challenges this card qualifies for are:

Paper Play - Cutie Patootie

Sassy Studio Designs - Something over a year old 

(cattail image & punches) 

Stars & Stamps - SKETCH 
Pattie's Creations Design Challenge - Anything Goes

And lastly is a fun easel card using an image by Fairy Knoll offered over on CDAC for the Color Challenge this week.  I thought she was so cute with her little bear that it would work perfectly for a little girls Birthday card.
