Snowman Shaker

Hello. Here in the Northern United States, we are in a deep freeze.  With the wind chill, it was -20 today.  Cold cold cold.  However, it did mean that school was closed today, so I didn't have to work.

My sister saw this cute little shaker card on the From The Heart facebook page, so we decided to make our version of it.  From The Heart has these cute little medley sets.  So far, she has made a spring and fall one, and now a winter one.  Hopefully summer will come out in a few months.

I used the largest square to make the card.  I didn't want the card to be too thick so I only put one layer of foam tape.  It made my shaker a little awkward, but it does work.  I also used one of my skinny  embossing folders to put snowflakes down the side.

I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Suzy Bee's - Anything Goes
   Through The Craft room Door - Anything Goes
   Curtain Call - Winter Wonder
   Glitter N Sparkle - Anything Goes
   Crafting From The Heart - Anything Goes
   Eureka - Snowman or Snowflake
   Love To Create - Anything Goes

Hopefully I will be back later.  But just in case, have a good evening.

Snowman

Hello.  I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the weekend.  It is my last weekend before I go back to work.   I hope to get all of my Christmas decorations put away tomorrow and then finish the day just relaxing and enjoying my craft room.

I only got one card made today.  I used a Bugaboo snowman and lots of pattern paper.  Since my snowflake punches were still on my table, I cut one of each and then put glitter on the top. I was afraid it had too much blue but I liked how it came out.

I am going to use it for the following challenges:
   Catch The Bug - Bingo (polka dots, snowflakes, & glitter)
   Tuesday Morning Sketches - Anything Goes
   Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes
   Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes
   Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
   Crazy Hazelnut's - Anything Goes
   The Crafting Cafe - Lots of Layer
   Your Next Stamp - Sketch #4

Have a great night.

2014 In Review

Hello.  I thought I would spend the last few minutes of 2014 reviewing some of my cards.

I will start with January 2014.  It was a good month and it is really hard to pick one card as my favorite.  These are the three top ones....

January 2014

February 2014

 It was even hard to pick a favorite.

March 2014

I was able to narrow down March to two cards....

April 2014

May 2014

June 2014

June was my busiest month.  Summer break started mid-June and it was so nice to have some time off.  I also won quite a few challenges.  Maybe that was why I had so much trouble picking my favorite card.

 In September, I was picked to be a two month Guest Designer for Imagine That by Kris.  It was just so much fun.

December 2014

Well that is it for 2014.  Sorry about the long post.  I just couldn't pick one card each month.  

The challenges, at Artistic Inspirations and Clear It Out, this week are to pick your favorite project from 2014.  As you can tell I couldn't pick just one.  

Happy New Year.  I hope all of you have a wonderful New Year.
