We don't have winter here in my tropical country but the word winter is synonymous to Christmas...lol..!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year...my favorite winter memory was driving up to the mountains to cut our family Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cards. I too LOVE Verve Faith based stamps and their beautiful images. I also love the cute penguins on your second card. :) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! And thank you for the generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun prizes you are giving away. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child, we drove to the mountains each winter for a day of sledding and sliding in the snow - great memories.
Beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteWe've had such mild weather so far that it doesn't really feel like we've had any winter yet!
Love the stamp sets!! Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteI had to stop by and tell you how much I love the Verve card! It's definitely pin-worthy! :) Happy New Year to you and yours!! ~ Tricia
ReplyDeleteStacey, I love your work and thank you for sharing your creativity to inspire us all! You are kind enough to share your work with all of us so I will share mine too! I posted some of my favorite cards from my design team work on my blog (http://afourthlife.blogspot.com) as well. Thanks for a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteLove the color combination you used on both cards! Best wishes for a happy and crafty 2016!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Beautiful card, love the snowflakes. Thanks so much for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year! Your cards are so fun! Love them. The prizes are sensational (I am a make-up junkie so I love that prize too!) Wish you all the best on 2016.
ReplyDeleteStacey, your cards are great as is your generous giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite winter memories are of my Grandfather coming to visit us (when the roads were too bad for a vehicle) with his horses and sleigh. My sisters and I would run up the road to meet him as soon as we heard the horses bells! He would laugh as he saw us coming. He enjoyed it as much as we did! The joys of living in the country when you are growing up...Thanks for that question, I had not thought about that in some time!
Happy New Year!
Dang, not sure how I missed out on this hop this year :( Oh well. Love the colour combo and doily in the BG.
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance and sweet card so far this winter it's been warm and been great for walking around and enjoying the weather for a change
ReplyDeleteFeliz año nuevo, paz, amor y felicidad.
ReplyDeleteBesos guapa.
Fabulous cards! Best wishes for a blessed 2016!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and fun cards Stacey! Congratulations on your new adventure with Younique. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creative soul you are.... wintery memory, my son making an igloo with his 2 friends.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite winter memory is when my brother and I built an Igloo and a horse out of snow when we were children.
ReplyDeleteI think my winter memory would be when we visited our son and family in Japan and the month was February and they had snow as well as us here in the US. Not sure I could make the trip anymore now as my health is not as good! So it is a cherished memory indeed!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Fabulous Giveaway, thanks!

Fantastic giveaway - thanks! I love Wendy and SugarPea Designs. My favorite winter memory (actually, 15 of them) is coming home each holiday after moving away for grad school and my first career job. Seeing the city coming into view just before landing always made me so excited! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! Happy New Year!!! <3
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I first knew each other via a writing group online, so my fave winter memory is flying to Montreal at christmas to meet him for the first time. It was only seven days and it was the most romantic seven days of my life!
I have always like your fun style! Have a warm and crafty 2016!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Michele
My favorite winter memory is decorating the Christmas tree and hearing and telling stories about each of the ornaments on our tree. I've collected ornaments since I was a little girl and love to tell my boys where they came from or who they were from. Now they have started their own special ornament collections.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win. Happy new year.
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute penguin from Sugar Pea. I will have to check them out!
ReplyDeleteLoved taking a disabled girl on my floor in college tabogganing and hearing her just squeal with laughter. I now am disabled and have friends who make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite winter memory is snow tubing at Ober Gatlinburg (TN). For a Floridian like me, snow is always a treat!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win some goodies. Happy New Year!
congrats on the new business venture--good luck! Fave winter memory is getting all dressed up in my snow suit when I was 5 or something and then always having to go to the potty after I was trussed up and my big sister sighing and unwrapping me!

My favorite winter memory is sledding down the hill in front of our house with my sons. I laughed so hard and they both thought I was pretty funny too. They are both grown now and I cherish those memories. I love your card designs so much. I'm a big fan of Verve too! Thanks for a chance to win some awesome prizes. Wishing you a happy and blessed 2016!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fantastic, Stacey! Great designs! Blessings for a Wonderful 2016!
ReplyDeleteWinter should be cold, but not cold as it should be here in the UK....thanks for the giveaway...Happy New Year...xx ursulalongworth@talktalk.net
ReplyDeleteThe Sugar Pea Have an Ice Day is fabulous! I would love that!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young we would slide down a street for several blocks on our sled when it snowed or got icy. It was so steep that the police put up barracades so that cars would not enter and then we could sled down.

Love Verve and SugarPea designs--thanks for sharing your cards. Favorite winter memory is the year my first grandchild was born--on Valentine's day.

Two fabulous cards! Love the square doily on the first; so pretty. Favorite winter memory would have to be all the sledding we did as kids. We lived in New Hampshire, so you know we had lots of "hills" to sled on.
ReplyDeletePretty cards! Love that cute penguin!
ReplyDeleteSuch an awesome hop! I look forward to it each year! A great opportunity to pop in and say hi and thank you for the chance to win a great prize!
Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet and pretty cards!!
Wish you a great 2016. My favorite winter memory is sitting near a bonfire and sipping on hot coffee.
ReplyDeleteI love the penguin set. It finally got cold in Texas (I have the cold to show for it). We were wearing shorts at Christmas and my husband had to mow the lawn. Guess our lack of winter draws me to penguin and snowmen.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is fantasctic. Thanks for the great gift offer and the chance to win. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fabulous 2016!
ReplyDeleteHi, my favorite winter memory is ice skating at the park almost every night when we were kids with my brothers and neighborhood friends.

ReplyDeleteLove those colors on both of your cards! What terrific giveaways as I love both of those stamp shops, too. (unfortunately, I have too many allergies and sensitivities to wear eye makeup) Thanks for the chance to win! My favorite winter memory is from a snowstorm years ago tunneling through the 6' drifts and making a little igloo inside. It's a favorite because I no longer have to put up with snow! : )
ReplyDeleteLoved both cards and your versatility. Thanks for offering 3 prizes. Happy new year.
ReplyDeleteSuch great prizes - many thanks for a chance to win! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite winter memory was definitely Christmas with my family this year. Slowing down and enjoying each other was the best!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite winter memory is our first Christmas here on our farm. It was magical, just like in a painting... all the trees dusted with snow and we actually saw a couple of deer at the back of our property. Perfect. Thanks so much for offering all these wonderful prizes.
ReplyDeleteGreat prize packages! I hope I win!!! Have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGreat prize package! Have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSledding down a hill with a stream at the bottom, my mother was so worried! This happened about 55 years ago. 😀

I don't like snow but had such fun a few years back when the whole family went tubing .... Snow much fun...lol! Is that a rectangular doily!? Love your cards. Thanks for being a part of the hop and happy new year! Bzscrapper66@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of winter is snowmobiling! I don't do it quite as often now that I am busy but I remember when I was in elementary school we lived by a field and would just take off and ride forever. I took a girlfriend out and we got stuck. My family laughed at me then my older brother took pity on me and helped us get unstuck. Fun memories! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLove your work. My favorite winter memory was using our sleds to go down our 1/4 mile driveway to catch the school bus as a kid. Happy New Year.
