Thank you for the snow


Living in Michigan, I expect to be snowed in a little every now and then. I look forward to walks on the lake, ice skating, cold noses, and building snowmen.  This year, well, it's been a little light on the white stuff.  Today, it's snowing.  I'm thankful.  Maybe one of these snowflakes will take my card back up to heaven.

Supplies:
CTMH (cause I have boat loads of it.  Hey, they deliver to my door.)

Milk Does the Body Good!

I went to a CTMH unit meeting with a friend (no, I am not a consultant, but a darn good consumer!).  I kind of snuck along to see all the new product just out from their catty.  This little carton project was available to do for $5!  All In!  I wish milk came like this when I was little, I might have drank more.  Any hoo!  I don't know what to put in it, so I'll just set it on my desk and let it make me feel happy...

Baby Blessing Train Card

I wanted to share a little card I made with one of my favorite stamp sets called Childhood from Close to My Heart. The train is pieced and has pop dots to add dimension.  Doesn't the ribbon remind you of a track?!... or road, same difference. (Sometimes what we have just has to do.)  I don't know if I can give it away, I might just incorporate it into one of my scrapbook pages!  That's the problem with making cards, I want to send them to myself.  I'm terrible.
Enjoy.

Catch and Comment

I'm not a consistent Blogger, as you can see, but I want to change that.  So, my new resolution is to post twice a week.  If I don't, the first person to "catch and comment" gets a gift in the mail from my stash.  It could be ribbon, a card, a ribbon and a card, or even paper that I've been hoarding.  All I ask is that you sign up to follow  my blog (give a little love) to participate!

Thanks!

Rules:
I hate rules:)

Another March SOTM card...from LAST year! Ha!

This is another sweet spring card by my friend Jolene.  She has a way with making cards that bring a little "aww" to your lips. Isn't the little rabbit adorable?!  This card almost makes me want to wake my sleeping son up and pinch his cheeks.  Almost.

I love how with the use of blues and greens the card could be used for a baby shower or as an Easter card.  I'm all for cards that can do double duty. As always, click on the picture to see it in more detail.
