Wintery, Cold Thursday....

Good morning! It's a very cold, wintery, windy day here in central Alberta. We are still in a winter storm warning for our area. We woke up to a bit of snow, but nothing like southern Alberta. The sun is actually *trying* to shine now....There are power outages, highway #2 has a no-tow zone and RCMP are advising no travel south of Red Deer. Crazy!

It's a great morning to light some candles, brew the Starbuck's coffee and do a card! So, that's what I did :o) I decided to give the Diva Coffee Break Designs color combo of Pink Passion, Tempting Turquoise and Dusty Durango a go...I found it a bit difficult actually. I started it last night and had to leave it overnight while I slept on it. Woke up this morning and finished it off...I think it turned out pretty good :) I went in search of a sketch to use for my colors and found a cool square card over at Splitcoaststampers and over at Your Next Stamp Challenge, they want us to "Go Dotty" and that's what I did! Also, over at the Creative Belli Blog, they want us to create a birthday themed card with some "older" products...my Pink Passion cardstock is older as it doesn't get used very often. This card also qualifies for the "Make It Sweet" challenge over at Pile It On!


...and here's my card using all 4 challenges!

Stamps: Happy Moments; Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Pink Passion, Dusty Durango; Ink: Versafine Black, Basic Black, Dusty Durango; Accessories: markers, paper piercer, pearls, nestabilities, durango ribbon, dimensionals, sponge dauber
I hope you all have a fantabulous Thursday! Happy crafting if you get any in...I *think* my Stamp Camp will probably proceed tonight as scheduled, but I'm not 100% sure yet. Depends on the weather as the day goes on. Ciao!
