Frosty Mornings


Hello Friends

I have been feeling really low lately. I have a combination of the winter blues and feeling homesick blah! We have been getting snow lots of snow here in upstate NY. I am so tired of  winter and being stuck inside. I am from Scotland where our winters are so much milder. You can still function and get out and about in winter time.

I have not been in the mood to craft either, but I had a sudden burst of energy to make something last night. So I wanted to make something that would reflect how I was feeling. This card captures that perfectly. When I step outside first thing in the morning. The snow is swirling all around and the howling wind blows right through you brrrrrr!!!

 I had the perfect stamp in mind for that too. This girl stamp from the What Lies Within KOM. Her hair blowing in the wind was perfect. I went with kraft and white for my colour scheme and some vellum. I also used some snow patterned kraft card and corrugated card to create all of the layers. The sentiment is from Frosty Mornings Lots Of Snow Itty Bitty stamp.

I hope you like my card thanks so much for stopping by!!! I am away to get a hot cup of tea and watch some more snow fall outside my window.

    Oh Mandi I am so sorry you are dealing with home sickness and yes this frigid, very snowy winter isn't helping I'm sure! Well rest assure Spring IS on it's way ... just going to take a little more time! Your card is AMAZING and just GORGEOUS! I gasp when your page opened ... what a creative piece! Gosh if this is what you create when you're not really feeling crafty ... WOW I need to come back to see what you create when the weather clears! LOL!

Unity & Misti Blog Hop

Hello My lovelies :) Welcome to the Unity and Misti blog hop! I  hope you are enjoying seeing all of the projects so far. I just had my first wee play with the Misti tool the other day. It is a very new to me tool and wow do I LOVE it!! It is awesome! Just for the simplest of things like positioning a stamp.  One time is all you need with the Misti!! I am not one of those crafters that gets my stamped images crisp first time. I usually have wasted a card or two before I end up with a perfect image. This tool totally eliminates all of that.  Here is my very first card that I made with the Misti tool and Unity stamps.  I used a stamp called  Scattered Pieces . I LOVE this stamp and the sentiments that come with it.  I positioned the feather and the sentiment at the same time on the Misti.  I totally love that you can do that too!  It lets you stamp several at once instead of just eye b...

Happy Valentine's Day - Craft Stamper Inspiration

Hello my friends happy Valentine's Day!  I made this stamped jar for my inspiration project for the  Craft Stamper Challenge today.  This is my husband's old coffee jar that was heading to the recycling bin. I always like to save them and make something with them.  I gave it a couple of coats of white chalk paint and let it air dry. Next I stamped it with memento ink.  The stamp I used is from Unity called  Smooches and Stuff  by Phyllis Harris.  I just love all of her art work. I let that completely dry then used my alcohol markers to colour it.  While I was at the craft store I found this nice heart kraft ribbon in the Valentine section.  I tied it around the top to finish.  I love the way it turned out. I hope you have some time to come and join in this month's challenge with us.  As always we have wonderful prizes up for grabs.  All of the details ca...
