Simple Snowmen



These two cards were made with the retired Stampin' Up! (SU) set called Simple Snowman.  I haven't played with it as much as I would like but I love the set.  I started these last week before Emi's surgery and just finished them up today.

I used Purely Pomegranate & Soft Sky cardstock (from the In Colors collection 2008 which are no longer available) as well as Chocolate Chip and White cardstock.  Although it's hard to tell because of the lighting, I embossed the Soft Sky paper with a template to give it some texture which I love on these cards.  I used my SU watercolor crayons to color it all in and on the one card added some chocolate grosgrain ribbon.

Yes, I Started a Crafting Blog

I've been on the creative side recently and making some really cool things here at home and at Stamping Classes hosted by my SU Demo.  I have loved my demos in the past, but by far, Mandy has come up with things that I would never in my life thought up.  Because of this she's kind of re-kindled my creativity spark.  I'm working on a few projects now and will take photos shortly and post them here.  My mom is visiting and helping with the kids as we get ready for Emi's surgery.  So between doing things around the house, spending time with her and taking care of the kids, my time to do something creative comes in very, very small spurts. 

When I post something I've created I'll try and list all the supplies I used.  Much of it will be SU, but not all of it.  I'm loyal, but not that loyal and find things that I like that SU just doesn't do.
