WINTER WONDERLAND LEADS TO CHRISTMAS

"This card made Top 3 at the Pixie Cottage Challenge Blog"

Wow, don't you just love to have a whole day to do whatever you want to do. Well, I do. And that is what is going on today. I took a vacation day. A day to do whatever. So far, I have taken all of the cards that I received from my birthday club this year (24 of them) and put them on scrapbook pages and prettied the pages up and now they are ready to go into the scrapbook. This little project has been sitting around since February. I will be having another birthday in a few months. I have been out and run several errands. Been to Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Big Lots and the Credit Union gotten gas and been to the bank. Now I am really ready to play.

The card that I have today is one that I made over the weekend and just never had time to post it. It is a winter scene, using The Magnolia winter trees and little birdie. Magnolia stamps can be bought at the Magnolia-licious Online Store, Diana has wonderful customer service.

I used copics on the little birdie and to outline the trees B0000 and B02. The papers are bazzill and the foil paper with the snowflakes is from a pad that I bought at Tuesday Morning months ago. It is all Christmas designs. I used diamond stickles on the trees and the ground. One of my layers is embossed with the snowflake folder from Cuttlebug. The bling is from my stash. I used a Martha Stewart snowflake punch for the large snowflake and the small one is from the Paper Studio. The sentiment is a $1 clear stamp from Michales. Yes, there are challenges.
