Winter Storm fun :)

Hello there crafting peeps! I sure hope you are safe and warm tonight...it is nasty, nasty, nasty here in central Alberta, Canada this weekend! We are having a major snow storm and it's not letting up anytime soon. The snow was up past my knees when I was walking to the barn this evening and there are some drifts out there that are up to my chest! C-R-A-Z-Y!!

So...with that said, I am taking this snowed-in opportunity to get crafty! Both kids are at friends houses, so I have the house all to myself :) Candles are lit, coffee has been tasty, and the tunes are cranked up :) I decided that after I got my design team responsibilities out of the way, that I would do a card just "for fun" tonight and I went in search of a color combo and sketch. I am using The Color Dare's color combo of Pear Pizzazz, Tangerine Tango and Tempting Turquoise. I found this awesome sketch over at Diva Coffee Break Designs:


Stamps: Bring on the Cake (Occasions Mini); Paper: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Pear Pizzazz DP; Ink: Versafine Onyx Black; Accessories: markers, Pear Pizzazz ribbon, Tango button, hemp twine, paper piercer, dimensionals, star punch, pearls, embossing folder

I am also entering my card into the Stamping Royalty challenge - Birthday

Thanks for popping in tonight - I'm hoping to create into the wee hours - so stay tuned!!

    Stay warm...I know we're taking full advantage of this horrid weather by drinkin' nummy coffee and stayin' in our jammies!!! (well, the kids aren't drinking coffee...that would just be silly!)
