Ready, Set, Snow... ~ RSCC 21

Woohoo! The kids and I had a snow day today:) The phone rang at 5:30 this morning with the good news:) I was so excited that I almost hopped right up and started stamping. Let's just say my bed was too comfy to leave that early:)

In celebration of a day off, I made this snowy card for Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #21 using soft yellow, light aqua, chocolate, and cream. I used the Stampin' Up! colors of Barely Banana, Tempting Turquoise (not as light as I wanted, but the only current SU aqua color), Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla.

Heather's Workshop Projects

This is one smart stamper! Not only did Heather make a wise decision to join my awesome stamp club, she also had a separate workshop during her stamp club hostess month! By doing this, she doubled (at least) her hostess benefits and is on her way to making a dent in her Wish List (is that even possible?) Come on, stampers, you know what I mean...the never-ending wish list! I am so happy for Heather that she was able to get the most from her stamp club hostess month! Way to go, Heather!

It's time again for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge! I feel so honored that Beate asked to use one of my cards for a future sketch idea. Check out that card here!



I'm loving these metal circle tags...the combination of metal and cardstock along with the shape is awesome! The new wide circle punch is perfect to use with the large metal circle tags.
