Hi and thanks for stopping by! I've been so busy I don't know where to begin! Christmas and New Year felt like a blink of an eye. The front door was constantly opening and closing with friends and family stopping by. Lots of cooking and cleaning going on, and so nice to see everyone. Sounds selfish to say this, but I am sort of glad things are getting back to normal. The kids will be back to school soon, and I can get back into my daily routine.
A new challenge begins today at Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog. This time the challenge is called "Hidden Gems". We're asking you to revisit some supplies you might have been ignoring, and put them to work! For me that was my embossing powder. I have to say I ADORE embossing. I see that glossy shine and just want to run my finger across it. It looks so rich and elegant!!! And isn't it just magic how it melts into a beautiful design? I would bet that I have embossing powder in just about every color of the rainbow!! But OMG! It is so MESSY!!! I don't care how careful I am.. even if I can't see it - when I run my hand over my desk I can feel it .. like sand!
It's gotten really cold here these past few days and this wintry scene seemed to fit my mood. I considered embossing in blue or sparkly snowy colors, but the scene reminded me of a book illustration so I decided to keep it crisp black with hints of blue in the accents.
