• Snowy Day in the Deep South

    Posted on by Julie 1 Comment

    The weather channel said the snow was coming, but lately, we believe it when we see it. Friday afternoon, it started snowing. A heavy, wet snow. It snowed all afternoon into the early evening. Most years we  get a little snow here in N. Georgia, but usually not this much. This picture was taken just before dark on Friday. This poor little cardinal looks a little bewildered.

    This is what it looked like this morning. Snow everywhere, but bright sunshine and a sky so blue it’d make you cry. I took this picture from my driveway, looking across the street at the other side of the cul de sac.

    Footprint in the snow. It was a little deeper than I thought it would be.

     

    This is view looking into my back yard. So pretty! I’m glad I took these early. Even though our temperature never made it above 34 degrees today, the brilliant sun melted a lot of it. And the wind picked up and blew the snow off of the tree branches.

    Thanks for stopping by! Keep warm, y’all!

    What an interesting site Stef chose for the SCS Inspiration Challenge today! After browsing all the fun designs, I chose the Geometric Colorblock Scarf for my inspiration. Love the color combo and graphic lines. I’m also including this in C4C21, to use pink.

    For my card, I’m using the sentiment from Our Daily Bread designs Noah’s Ark set. I used my new Cricut to die cut the large hearts and stamped the sentiment on the pink one.

    The sand colored strip was embossed w/ a button strip folder and the pink uses the Swiss Dots folder. The center strip is dp and all are matted w/ burgundy c/s. I punched some small hearts w/ two different size punches and added them. The wide ribbon is made up of two different ribbons attached together.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Congrats to my friend and fellow DDIC Team member, Anne, who is the Featured Stamper today at Splitcoast Stampers! I had a fun stroll through her extensive gallery and finally picked Antique Moss to case. I liked the soft color and the way the frame reminded me of icing on one of those elaborate wedding cakes. That being said, it looks like I changed most everything. I changed the colors, the image, the layout. I did keep the texture and softness of the color.

    The  scripture is a new image from Our Daily Bread designs in their Confirmation set.  I stamped it w/ the lightning black ink and stamped the dove w/ the soft sand ink over it. If y’all saw the new Spellbinders dies last week, you would have seen a beautiful new cross die. Since I don’t have that fantastic die, I tried to create my own cross by putting pieces together. I started w/ a long rectangle die and resized it. Then I cut the middle section of the Fleur de lis die and four of the individual Fleur de lis and arranged them all as shown.

    I layered all the white w/ some vanilla, tan and dp. I added the ribbon and a pearl button w/ the shank removed. Thanks so much for stopping by!
