Snowflakes make me smile!

The top two pics were taken this morning just after the sun came up. We have had snow off and on since Monday. We are expecting some more snow through the weekend.

I had created the snowflake background that I used above quite some time ago and when I saw the snow this morning, I couldn't wait to pull it out and use it. All of the cardstocks used were from my stash. The snowflakes are from my Cuttlebug Snowflake die and a Martha Stewart punch. The small snowflakes are covered with Art Institute Glass Glitter. The stamped snowflakes are from a clear set by Gelatins. The sentiment panel was cut out with my nesties. The phrase is from Inky Antics.

Have a great day,

Mojo Monday #60

So I am a few weeks behind in sharing my Mojo Monday #60 project, but that seems to be what my life is about these days...............always running a bit behind. I have the day off today and my list of things to do is long, but I hope to check a few off of the list by the days end.

Now for the deets on this card. First, let me say that I a love, love, love snowflakes! I have really been into the brown/aqua colors alot lately also. For this card, I used brown Madeira cardstock from Amuse for the base and half circle at the top of the card. The next layer is aqua cardstock with Bo Bunny's Winter Whisper Frost print paper cut slightly smaller ( I love a teeny tiny solid edge around the print layer). The ribbon is Ivory Satin from May Arts.

For the snowflake image, I cut the Cuttlebug Snowflake die out of a piece of Thermo Web double sided adhesive. First, I attached the adhesive to white cardstock and then cut the snowflake out with the "bug". Next, I peeled back the top sheet to reveal the sticky and poured on some Twig Art Institute glitter. I then layered that over the ribbon on my card and used a glue pen to color inside of the open snowflake and poured Crystal Art Institute glitter inside. I cut the half cirlcles with my Spellbinders dies and layered to the card with foam tape. I finished off the card with some little half pearls from my stash.

I am off to have a little breakfast..........have a great day!
