I hope you had a great holiday - things are getting back to normal here. My son will be back to school on Monday and we can settle into our normal routine. We've been staying up way to late every night, and he's been sleeping away his days. Me? I'm still up at my normal time - hard to fight with that internal alarm clock! That's ok - we've enjoyed our holiday - did some shopping, watched lots of movies, and ate way too much junk food!Today I'm playing along with the Play Date Cafe. I saw the challenge colors and knew I had to play. I love this color combination. I wanted to make something snowy - we haven't had enough to break out the shovels for this year - just a light dusting on the ground and in the air.
I thought this little snow family would look wonderful inside a snow globe. I made one by cutting three rings from foam and taping them all together. I topped the stack with a circle of transparency and cut a frame for the top to finish it off. I added sequins, "snow", and beads to the inside to make a shaker/snowglobe.
The paper is from two new collections from Basic Grey called Fact (ledger paper, graphs, geometric patterns numbers) and Fiction (flowers and designs) that coordinate together beautifully. Here's my finished card.

ReplyDeleteYou know I like snow globes Jeanne...and this one is so pretty and sparkly! I love the banner you used and that is a really cute sentiment...love the font. You added some really neat and interesting touches with the tickets and that border at the bottom with the pearls. I am going to quit commenting on your bows as I say it every single time how gorgeous they are and with such a pretty stick pin too. Very pretty card, another challenge I have to check out!
ReplyDeleteJeanne, this is so fun! Those sweet little snow people look they are having so much fun in their little globe of a world. Those colors are just amazing together too, so festive and wish I could be in there with them for the party.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet is that shaker Jeanne. Those cute snowmen and the colourful snow is just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! What cute snowmen in the shaker, and you used fabulous patterned paper. The perfect balance of colors, too, love the pop of the orange banner! So glad to see you joining us for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge, chickie! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the shaker snowmen!! These colors are fa as is your card!! I have to say I felt a little lost this am without my WMS fix!! We just got back from Rensselaer and went thru Indy...they had a little snow!! It was an adventure....well, really an Internet adventure plotting out the trip to miss the weather as much as possible and we certainly didn't drive straight thru on the 26th when the snow was coming down!! Have to tell ya, I was happy to get home to my 50 degree temps! Hope you're having a great start to the New Year and that shoulder is doing okay!!
ReplyDeleteLove it Jeanne! I love the little snowmen!
ReplyDeleteJeanne, this is super duper awesome! A winner!!!! Your design is amazing!

ReplyDeleteWe're slowly getting back to normal too! The staying up late and sleeping all day sounds all too familiar;)
