Warm Winter Wishes

Ahhh, just the sound of winter makes me cool off. After a long, cold winter I was so ready for summertime, but after these last consecutive days of heat indices over 100, I am ready for winter again. So funny.

Hopefully this card will help cool you off as well. I made this card for a recent submission call, but it wasn't picked up. I still love it though. It has cuteness written all over it.


When I think of winter, I think of snowmen. And as I was browsing through my Cricut Cartridges, this snowman from the DoodleCharms cartridge won my heart. He is just so cute and simple. For my card, I put him on a glittered snowy hillside out in the falling snow, also speckled with glitter.

Also, I created my card using the Storybook cartridge and I cut out two scalloped squares and adhered them together up top and tied it with ribbon for extra sturdiness.

Supplies:

cardstock, ribbon, stamps (polka dots, sentiment) - Papertrey Ink

Ink - Papertrey Ink, Tsukineko (black)

glitter glue - Ranger

die cut machine - Cricut by Provo Crafts (DoodleCharms, Storybook cartridges)

Here is the sledding album I told you about a couple of posts ago. This album was so simple and fun to do. Actually I really enjoy doing the mini albums because there is a lot less space to ponder over where to put pictures, embellishments, etc. The longest part to creating a mini album for me is picking the pictures and what order I want them to go in. What I really love about these albums is that I keep them in our living room for easy access and you can flip through them whenever you want to look at some pictures. How I decide to do mini albums is when I have a lot of pictures of one event. Sometimes it is too hard to narrow the pictures down to just a few so I decide to make a mini album to showcase all my favorite pictures of the day, holiday, special event, and so on.
