Pearly Sparkles Challenge #113 - Snowmen

Happy Saturday crafty friends. I am back - it's been an extremely difficult spring/summer/fall for both my hubby and myself and our families so I decided to take a step away from my craft room and just get through the roughness. Quint lost his Dad in June and I lost my Mom in August and all I can say about everything in a nutshell is "it's a lot." I am finally feeling somewhat of a pull to get creative again so I am back with another monthly challenge over at Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog! Our challenges are always posted the 1st of the month and you can use whatever crafty supplies you have. 

PSC #113 - Snowmen

My card is from a super cute winter kit, but for the life of me I can't find the package it came in so I don't remember from where. I purchased it from a local scrapbook store. So super fun and it was nice to just sit and not really have to think about what to create - just follow directions LOL...

I hope you come and play along - here's a close up of my card:

Pearly Sparkles #103 - Something Old/Something New

 

Welcome back to my blog - I am excited to announce that I have been invited to join the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog Design Team :) I am super honored to be crafting along side such talented ladies. Our challenges are always posted the 1st of the month and you can use whatever crafty supplies you have. 

The challenge this month is "Something Old/Something New" and I got some new card kits before Christmas so I decided over the holidays to open them up and get busy creating while cyber crafting with my bestie, Leanne. So, the kit is my "something new" and the twine used on the card has been in my stash for quite a few years - so that is my "something old."  I hope you like it - here's a close up:
