You are a Beam of Sunlight

I had this image that I had printed off a long time ago and it was sitting in my craft area and I finally put it together. It is from Faery Ink and my sentiment is from TLC, Create. Since Saturday was the first day of spring and I am so ready for it, I had fun putting this card together. I added sparkle to the wings with a Spectrum Noir pen which doesn't show up well in the photo.

Christmas Chickadees

I like to get several Christmas cards done each month so that I don't have to scramble at the end of the year. I found in my stash that I had printed a free picture quite some time ago of these beautiful Chickadees and had this evergreen scrap of paper I don't know the maker of either of them. I embossed a woodgrain background and die cut a pine cone with glitter and liquid pearl. I didn't add a sentiment since I was trying to keep it simple and peaceful.

Baby it's COLD outside

Well it's true!!! Today we have a high of -3 with some windchills that are horrible.  And tomorrow will be worse.  So it's dangerously cold.  We got another 8 inches of snow yesterday.  Today it's a new release day at Catch the Bug and I have this image of Winter Birdhouse and a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I layered the snowflake and added Stickles.

There is no man like a SNOWMAN

This is a one of the newer snowmen from Bugaboo from the Goofy Snowman Set and the sentiment is from TLC, Create.  Today I dealt with both my ex husband and ex finance so I will just say that I say that I really like this sentiment, and it sums up my life right now, LOL.  I actually went to take some chocolate chip banana bread for my best friend who had surgery on Friday and she was with her grandsons and I got hugs and kisses from a 3 and 6 year old and there was no expectations with it so it was a great, hehe.
I put Stickles on the snow on the ground and Sakura glitter jelly pen on the snowflakes in the sky.
