Happy Friday!! I'll bet you're wondering a little bit about my title today! Well, not only did I make a Christmas card for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge....but get this....I woke up to 5 plus inches of SNOW!!! Arghhh!!! I say "plus" because it's blowing so hard that there is probably more, but it has drifted. The forecast says that we could possibly get another 10 inches before Sunday!! Well, nothing puts me in the mood for making Christmas cards like snow! LOL!
I finally had some time to play with my new Snow Swirled set by Stampin' Up!. I knew that I liked if from seeing it in the catalog...but it's even better in real life! This has got to be one of my favorite SU! Christmas sets that I've seen (and I've seen a lot of them :-). I started by embossing the tree in Chocolate Chip in and Clear e.p. onto Shimmery White c.s. I then highlighted the different parts in the tree with my Copic markers. Of course I added some rhinestones...because what's a Christmas tree without some bling? Hehehee!
As always, you have got to check out what Beate, Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Lori, Mary Jo, & Sharon have created...they are all so amazingly talented and are sure to inspire you!!
Well, I'm off to shovel our sidewalk/porch! :-) Have a fantastic Friday!!! ~Laurie
