Winter Wonderland

Love this time of year in Minnesota. We've had a few of those frosty mornings where the beautiful hoarfrost on the trees and every other surface, made me so happy I didn't mind scraping the windows on my car. Living in MN without a garage can be challenging, but I don't mind. My life is too full of blessings to get hung up on a little snow. Besides, snow allows you to create snowmen!

This week at One Stop Crafts we are having a Christmas Carol challenge. Prairie Fairy is our sponsor and provided the DT with some cute images to play with. I used Snow Friends to make an oversized card inspired by Winter Wonderland. I hope you can join us!

Thanks for looking! Spicey Cat Chick =^..^=

Snow Friend Fun

We had our first significant snow fall in Southern Minnesota this weekend. WAHOO! They tried to call it a blizzard, but since the temp stayed around 30F and there was minimal wind, I don't think blizzard qualified. My house got about 11 inches of snow which certainly meant it was time to break out the snowblower. Thankfully Mr. Gears was home for the weekend and took care of the chilly duty. I stayed in my pjs all weekend. :o)

This is my first  creation with a Saturated Canary image and I'm in love! I've been eying the super cute images in blogland for awhile and finally broke down and bought some. They are so sweet and many remind me of Precious Moments. They are our sponsor this week at One Stop Craft Challenge. We'd love to see you play along with our Christmas Friends theme.

Thanks for looking! Spicey Cat Chick =^..^=

The color in the picture above is correct, not sure why my other pics got so off in tones.

Old World Santa

It's officially December and while I'm typically shoveling snow, today I was wearing sandals. It seems I'm living in the Banana Belt of Minnesota. It's supposed to be nice all week, but back to chilly temps on the weekend. I'll take it. January and February are almost always freezing, so the longer it takes for winter to set in, the better.

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you. This week over at One Stop Craft Challenge Bugaboo is sponsoring us. The DT made some awesome creations with a Christmas Card for a Male theme. I'd love to see you join in the fun!
