LET IT SNOW!


Before anyone boo's and hisses me, I really do want to see some snow. Not, just a little but a big snow and lots and lots of snow in our hills! It is so dry here and I see the destruction the fires of this summer have left behind and I want to see plenty of snow pack which leads to water in the spring and summer. (Plus, snow makes Christmas that much more special to me!) LOL!
It is also time for another fun Challenge at The Paper Shelter! The Challenge this time is "A Christmas Card"! I chose "Not Exactly A Big Bad Wolf" for my Christmas card. This cute little pup is getting a lovely belly rub. Now, I would admit that I never wore cut off jeans in the winter, but these days you will see kids wearing them year round.  So, I thought a few snowflakes wouldn't deter this cute little girl. I hope you will join the fun with our challenge this week and just maybe you will be the winner of our great prize! Have fun and show me your "Christmas" projects!

My Song: Let It Snow!
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Man it doesn't show signs of stoppin'
And I brought some corn for poppin'
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

New Design Team for ME!!

 The inside of my card!
 A closer look at my darling image!
I am excited to announce that I am now a proud member of The Creative Crafters Design Team! I love that each challenge is a "Anything Goes". We have no sponsors on this Design Team and so I can use any stamp I want! For my first design with the team I chose this darling squirrel who is busy getting prepared for winter. I want to thank Alyce from Kit and Clowder as I feel my coloring is improving so much from her classes.  I colored the image with my Copic pens, added a few pretty pebbles on the corners and some "Wink of Stella" here and there on the wings of butterfly and the centers of the flowers. A little liquid glass on the nose for depth and my card is finished.  
Please join "The Creative Crafters"  for a fun challenge!

A Card For A Child!

 A closer look!
 The inside of my card!
I made this card for my youngest grandson. Much to his big brother's distaste he likes the color pink. He is all boy in every way but he likes the color pink. So I made him a thank you card for being my 'helper' when he stays with me. I know he will like it and I also know his brothers will hate it. LOL! 
I used an older digi from The Paper Shelter called "Teddy Bear Picking Flowers". You can find it here! It is also time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter! This time we want to see your cards for a child. I know this will be a fun one for me to see what you come up with. Be sure and stop by The Paper Shelter Shop and check out all the cute digital stamps before you make your card! You will find something special I am sure!

My Song: Me and My Teddy Bear 
In the house next door right next to mine A little boy lives there At Xmas time dear Santa Claus Brought him a teddy bear He loves his little teddy bear He's with it all day long And the sweetest thing I've ever heard Is to hear him sing this song Me and my teddy bear Have no worries, have no cares

In the house next door right next to mine
A little boy lives there
At Christmas time dear Santa Claus
Brought him a teddy bear
He loves his little teddy bear
He's with it all day long
And the sweetest thing I've ever heard
Is to hear him sing this song
Me and my teddy bear
Have no worries, have no cares
Me and my teddy bear
Just play and play all day
I love my teddy bear
He has one eye and has no hair
But I love my teddy bear
We play and play all day
Every night he's with me
When I climb up the stairs
And by my bed he listens
Until I say my prayers
Oh, me and my teddy bear
Have no worries, have no cares
Me and my teddy bear
Just play and play all day


In the house next door right next to mine A little boy lives there At Xmas time dear Santa Claus Brought him a teddy bear He loves his little teddy bear He's with it all day long And the sweetest thing I've ever heard Is to hear him sing this song Me and my teddy bear Have no worries, have no cares
