Skiing by to say Hello (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this background with a circle die, cloud stencil, double sided tape and glitter! I first created the sun with distress oxide inks then covered that up and stenciled some clouds on. I have a wide double sided tape so I added that for the ground and then added glitter to it and it seems to have stayed well :)

I added some pearls to look like snow falling and the adorable bear comes from Little Miss Muffet (no link like I usually do because I couldn't find their old store). If anyone knows a link I'd love a copy of it.

Celebrate you in winter card

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last winter card for today was created using an old image I printed out many years ago when I first started. She's a Bratz girl, free on the internet (coloring pages). I gave her a top to match the sky background.

Snow Kissed (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have an old well loved winter girl stamp from The Greeting Farm here on my card today. I added some die cut trees (die cut with green paper then added a white layer over the top slightly above so we can see a little bit of the green tree branches). I used borders from Lawn Fawn.

Birthday Penguins card

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's a beautiful warm day here in Oz but I've made 3 winter cards as most of you are all in winter right now, hopefully it's not too cold for you. I'm off to lunch with a couple of visiting  relatives from the UK so I'm going to make these posts as quick as I can as I'm still in my pyjamas hehe (my computer doesn't like my spelling of pyjamas, I'm guessing you'll all be thinking I've spelled it wrong but that's how we spell it here, I know, it doesn't make much sense to add a "y" to it lol). This image is no longer available and I fussy cut the little background penguins and trees from some patterned papers I had.

Warmest Wishes bear card (LOTV image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Isn't this scene and bear just adorable? You can find it at Lili of the Valley. It's the complete opposite of what weather we have here in Australia over Christmas as it's Summer here but it doesn't stop us Aussie crafters from making winter cards over this time of the year.
