The snow is back!
On
Monday it was so nice here with the sun shining and the temperatures in the high
fifties (F). Yesterday – snow – wet snow – some freezing snow – high winds! All
equal yuck to me. We didn’t get as much snow as they predicted we would but
even a couple inches is a couple inches too much. Oh well, we stayed put today
and I got some more quilt blocks completed.
Next week is my one
and only granddaughter’s 25th birthday. She is studying to be a veterinarian
and we are so proud of the young woman she has become. This is the card I made
for her.
The image was stamped with one of the Beautiful You stamps from the
Stampin’ Up set….love this set! The sentiment came with the set as well. The
image was coloured with pencils and blended with gamsol and then clear Wink of
Stella was added to her dress and hat. The background around her is chalk which
I sponged one while it was still in the stitched rectangle die – Elizabeth Crafts
set. It was then mounted on a yellow stitched rectangle and then onto the
orange card base – which is really not quite that bright in real life. The sentiment
is on a die cut tag and is popped up with a dimensional strip. Once it was all
assembled I added the sequins. I think she will like it….no, I know she will
because this girl likes anything people do for her or give her. I do not
believe, even as a child, that she ever asked for anything. If we asked her what
she wanted for Christmas or her birthday she immediately said, “Anything you
buy will be wonderful”. We had to pry ideas out of her….still do in fact!
That’s all for a snowy
Friday. Have a wonderful, safe and creative weekend all and I’ll be back on
Monday with another post.
Cheers
Violet
