Winter is Coming!

Hello Friends!

My goodness but it's been a bit crazy around here the past few months and my mojo is 'lacking' to say the least!  BUT ... I did find time (and enough mojo) to create a winter scene card that will go in my holiday card collection.  Whether for sale or for my own use, I enjoyed creating it and am very happy with the outcome.

It's so quick and easy to create a winter scene with all the amazing new die cuts available.  One of my all time favorite die cut companies is Memory Box.  Their dies always seem to be more along 'my style' and I love all the outdoor images they have available.  

Have you seen they now have a challenge to play along in?

Outside the Box 

Now about my card creation . . .

  

By using my new Memory Box 'Distressed Holiday Collage' corner die,

it gave me the feel of snowflakes but yet left me room on the

opposite side of my panel for more 'sky' space where

I could create small snowflakes in my scene with a white

Gelly Roll pen.

My 'original' card only had one bird in the trees but after photographing it

I didn't like how it looked so went back through my

dies and located my Memory Box 'Contempo Birds' die which

has a variety of different size birds and

added a few friends for my lonely single bird ... BETTER!!

Since my original bird was glued down I simply popped a bird facing the 

other direction up in front of him and added a few

friends on other branches ... I'm much happier with this version. 

 What do you think?

      

I love how you can create a snowy ground cover by simply tearing an 'off cut' from your white card base card stock.

Quick ... Easy ... Perfect!

OH!  And did you notice I CUT my Memory Box 'Deer in the Trees' frame?

I didn't like the positioning of the frame on my A6 card background so simply gave it a quik cut in order to have the trees LOWER on my scene.    You probably wouldn't have even noticed that if I hadn't pointed it out!

I've been dealing lately with some vertigo issues but today seems to be a better 'health' day so I'm going to get busy crafting while I can!  LOL

Have a great day!
