Snow, Snow and more Snow

I have taken countless photos ever since the snow began back in December.

We've had a couple of breaks where the roads full of snow, melted, but there has been snow on the ground ever since the first part of December.  Then this last storm hit and although it has ceased, now after a few days, we have about 3 1/2-4 feet or more of snow left behind.

Yes, I am getting really tired of it!! LOL  It's one thing to be stuck in the house and not go anywhere because you just don't want to and another to be stuck in the house because you CAN'T get out and go anywhere.

But, thankfully, I have new stamps to play with so I have been creating!!  :-)

Another reason I have been lax in posting is that when I post, I want to upload photos but when I try to upload photos, lately, they are always sideways.  I take them with my phone as it's just faster and easier and, when they are saved to my computer they look fine but as soon as I upload them, they are sideways.  So, I am working on why that happens.  It doesn't seem to matter how I take it, landscape, straight on and what I do in the editing....it takes forever to get a photo to end up the right way.

This month, at class, we made three cards and one was a Valentine's Day card.  I shared a new technique, or new to me anyway, of using packing tape and glitter. We used the Sassy Heart Framelits and the new Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack #142733 and the Sealed with Love set #142815.  The sentiment "Happy Valentine's Day" is just one of 27 stamps in the set and it also has Framelit dies you can purchase as a bundle.

I also had some of the new Occasions and Sale A Bration items on display. 

Fun day...

Now it's back to playing with my new stamps!!!

Have a great day and if you are inundated with SNOW, like we are.....take time to stamp and play!!  

Hugs,

Char

Today is the last day of Sale-A-Bration and card share

Just a reminder

Today is the last day to order during Sale-a-Bration to qualify for Free SAB products. 

It's true, I can hardly believe it, but Sale-a-Bration is almost over. :-(

I hope you were able to get all the free goodies  you wanted.  

But, if not, you still have all day today and you can shop at my online store.

Be sure to check out the Weekly deals and also the Clearance Rack, while you are there.  You never know what you may find there.

 I know I have been MIA for months and only jumping online now and again for updates.

Most of you know that I severely broke my right wrist a week before Christmas and had to have major surgery and a boatload of hardware placed inside my wrist to keep it together.  It's been a long uphill battle to get to where I am today.  But, the good news is they were able to get my wrist to work well enough so that I can type and STAMP....my two favorite things to do.  :-)
My Doctor told me again that it was one of the worst breaks she'd seen.  She looked me square in the eyes and said, "Don't break it again (this was my second time in 15 years) or we won't be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.  

Ok, now, I had to chuckle...because this was the second time this week I had been called Humpty Dumpty AND it wasn't like I had nothing better to do that day but throw myself down on a hard sidewalk one week before Christmas......lol

Anyway, I have a LOT of catching up to do.

I wanted to share a very cool card with you that my wonderful friend, Pat, made to show me how she used the SU Balloon Celebration Bundle, from the Occasions catalog on page 12.  I told her I just had to share it on my blog...although I don't have the directions to show you how to make it, myself  :-(

Now, I do know that she used the Action Wobble Springs behind the balloons to give them a 3D look and you can purchase them at Amazon.

The pop out was done with her Cricut.  

Here are some of the items she used.

Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

Red Glimmer Paper

Balloon Celebration Photopolymer Bundle

Table built using Product Table Builder by The Crafty Owl - Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Have a fantastic day!!!
