There’s no people like snow people

There's no people like snow people 2013

Happy New Year to everyone. Have you made your new year resolution yet? I have several and so far I’m doing pretty good. I think everyone does the weight loss one but I’m going to start going thru my house and if I fine things we have not used in the last couple of years, out it goes or in the rummage sale. Also last year I did not buy much craft products because I have so much stuff (only things I use every day like tape, glue) so the same goes for this year, I need to use up what I have. I have to admit I did buy one big thing and that was the Silhouette Cameo. So I’m going to be good at least try. Pray for me…. This is my first card for 2013 and we are having our challenge at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday and the Twisted for this week challenge is “SNOW PEOPLE”!!! Not much snow here in Wisconsin, I can’t believe I’m saying that. North of us have lots of snow but I live in the south east corner and we have had not much snow so far. So I used one of Karen’s Doodles images called “First Snowfall”. I can see all the kids out side just enjoying the first snow. My granddaughter Emma (age7) was here several days ago and she was all excited and she say grandma it’s snowing  hay….. and about half an hour later it stopped and she was disappointed we did not get any snow. 

There's no people like snow people left  2013

I used some Cheesecloth. The ribbon is holiday ribbon bow-tique from Michaels.

There's no people like snow people right 2013

My sentiment is a stamp from Hampton Stamps. I have had it for many of years. The paper was from a DCWV Christmas winter pack.

There's no people like snow people  flat 2013

Snowflakes from the Christmas section. Distress ink Stormy Sky.

There's no people like snow people  inside 2013

The punch was mitten from Punch a Bunch. Inside area left open to add a sentiment or a written message.

There's no people like snow people markers

Copic markers used to color the image. I used white liquid applique on the girl left it white and on the baby colored it YG67 and on the boy colored it BG78. I also used some diamond glaze and just sprinkled some sparkly snow over it.

There's no people like snow people close up

I sure hope everyone has a wonderful NEW YEAR…  So super big hug to everyone and make it the best year ever. My God bless everyone! Thanks so much for stopping.

On a Winter Day

On a winter day 2012
Hello all my wonderful friends!!! It has been awhile and I hope everyone has had a fantastic Christmas. It is so nice to spend time with all the family but I ready to get thing back to normal, how about you? This will be my last card for 2012, so the next time I post a card it will be 2013, how fast time keeps going. Over at The Outlaws Twisted Thursdays Challenge for this week the challenge is ANYTHING GOES WITH THE TWIST OF RELAXING AFTER CHRISTMAS. I found this beautiful image at Stitchy stamps and it is called On a winter day, I know in the United States a lot of snow has fallen in different states and this might look like where you live. Here in Wisconsin north of where I live they have a lots of snow but I live by Like Michigan and we do not have any snow yet. I really do not want to say that to loud because the if I do we are bound to get a lot.
On a winter day right 2012
I colored the image with chalks, used Pebbles Pearlescent chalking shimmer and sparkle set. Then sprayed the card with Blair very low odor fixative, to seal the chalk. 
On a wintewr day left 2012
Added some Deco Art snow writer, star lite top coat and glamour dust. Sponged the edge with distress ink tea dye.
On a winter day flat 2012
Used Spica pens yellow, olive and black.
On a winter day inside 2012
Punched out a snowflake and went around it with some chalks and sprayed the inside so the chalk will seal and their will be no smudging. You can stamp a message or write a message over the snowflakes.
