Snow Day...digging out

I've had the idea for this card in my head and on my desk for about a week now.  I was so anxious to post it that it's not actually finished - I just layered the pieces.  And - haven't gone for my walk yet!!  The day is slipping away from me and so much to do yet.  Used my Cricut for the mug; lace punch from Martha Stewart; snowflake embossing folder; word punch from Stampin' Up and a white gel pen for the sentiments!

I'm sure you get the message in the card - nothing like that hot beverage after all is said and done on that stormy winter day....Mmmmm.  I'll put up the finished product when it's done.   Cheers! Jackie

Skating

Here's a winter skates card.  Great for a friend who's a figure skater preparing for a competition or for someone who just enjoys a quick flick around the pond.  For whatever reason this would be a great card to give.

I got to looking around the web again today and came upon Everyday Cricut an excellent site for ideas if you own a Cricut machine.  I've had my Cricut Expression for months and haven't really used it a whole lot ~~ yet!  I only have two cartridges but this site has given me lots of inspiration - I've subscribed so I can have their great ideas sent to my inbox!! 

Inspiration for my card came from the skate theme paper.  My sister knows where this came from ~ in 2007 she gave me a bunch of sheets from her calendar pad to use for scrap-booking.  Card stock is from my stash (black, white and red).  I used a silver star Gelly Roll pen to highlight the laces in the cricut skate, snowflakes and skate blades - picture does not do justice to the card, it's really pretty.

Later!  Jackie
