Day 3 of Ice Storm 2013

Saturday after the Ice Storm that began Thursday night, the roads weren't any better and in some cases were worse.

I forgot to mention that I called Vanessa to talk to Kennedy on Friday. Where they live now is on a hill and it's difficult to go up or down a hill with ice!

This was our conversation:
Kennedy: Savtah, I want to come to your house.
Me: The roads are too bad.
Kennedy: Are they too slippy?
Me: Yes they are too slippy. I can't get up the hill.
Kennedy: You could park your truck at the bottom and walk up to get me.
She is too smart for her own good!

The nice thing about weather like this is I can spend some time in my craft room.

This card is very simple but I LOVE how it turned out. I used an embossing folder from Stampin Up of poinsettias. The sentiment is the stamp set "Christmas Blessings" from Stampin Up.

This one is too plain for me I really needed a scalloped oval but I didn't have one. The image is from Stampin Up's "First Christmas" stamp set. I did not use the sentiments in that set but chose instead to use a sentiment from a Phyllis Harris design stamp set by Unity Stamp Company called "Unto Us". I then added some bling to the star.

I tried making this card again with a little different approach. I like this one MUCH better even though the image didn't stamp well. I think part of that was the type of paper I was using (white metallic cardstock) and the other was an ink pad that needed re-inking. I'm still happy with it though.




Have a good one!
