Let it Snow!

Hi Everyone. Trust you all survived the weekend, especially if you live in the areas affected by this latest winter storm. We got 7.5 inches of snow here in Toledo, a record for this time of the year. It was kind crazy since it snowed all night and day. The crews just couldn't keep the roads clear enough for me. Of course, I grew up near Virginia Beach where half an inch of snow shut the area down for days! Driving in the snow scares me big time. I do love snow and how it makes everything clean and bright. Perfect for this time of the year!

So in honor of all the snow and the sledding around the neighborhood I have a snow card to share with you. And this is for this week's Merry Monday challenge #88 to use an animal on your card!!


 


 I started by stamping the playful penguin postage frame in Memento Black on white CS as well as the 4 in 1 snowflakes in Taken with Teal ink. After coloring the image with Copics and adding some glitter with a Sakura Stardust pen, I punched the 4 corners and layered it on some teal, then green CS before adding the ribbon and putting the whole panel on the white card base. The Let it Snow image was stamped in Memento Black ink on white CS, colored with Copics and layered on the same teal and green CS. I added some punched teal snowflakes with rhinestone centers to finish it off. I like the way this fun card turned out. Hope you like it!

Be sure to check out this week's Anything Goes Challenge here at DRS Designs. We'd love to have you join the fun!!

Thanks for stopping by and stay warm!!

Until next time,
shelia

  1. Shelia, your card is so very cute. Love those adorable penguins.
    I live in Northern, NH and we got about 4-5 inches of snow, not bad but it is brutally cold. I am thankful for the sun shining today. :) Thank you for joining us at Merry Monday and for your sweet comment on my blog.

  2. I'm glad you are enjoying all that snow, Shelia. I do miss how pretty it makes everything look, but I don't miss driving in it, shoveling it, or when it gets dirty ... just stay in and enjoy it while it is fresh! Your playful penguins are doing just that!! It's an adorable card! Hugs, Darnell

  3. What a FUN card, Shelia! Looks like these guys know how to enjoy the snow! I grew up in VT and have spent most of my adult life in NC. I remember the snow fondly but I'm so glad I live where it shuts everything down so we can look at it and not have to deal with it! Be safe and thanks for bringing these delightful penguins to Merry Monday!
