*** Masculine Makes ***

 Hi folks,

Well...talk about snow.  26 cm dropped Thursday night with another 11 cm expected today.  
We have not seen this much of the white stuff in several years and it's so good to see, especially when the sun is shining.   Everyone comes together, neighbour helping neighbour dig out from under and pushing cars that get stuck (not this old gal though...those days are over...best I can do is offer hot chocolate)

Time for a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin

with a theme of "Masculine Makes"

I've coloured with copics a digital image from Mo's and the sentiment is a stamp from LOTV.

This card is for our SIL's birthday...he rides his bike to work as a football coach at the local high school and yes these are the team colours.

***** Stamps, real or digital *****

Hi folks,

Hope all is well with you and for those of us in the north I hope that you stayed warm during the recent winter vortex.   The Canada Geese have been flying in formation and man are they noisy....I think they are just trying to stay warm but I read where they call out trying to determine who is the leader. Sure wish they could come to a decision as they are keeping us up at night..lol.  

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #609

Hosted by our wonderful Chris who has chosen the theme of

"Include a Stamp" Real or Digital

I have created a card for the Lunar New Year and as it is the Year of the Snake I used a digital stamp of this cute little snake that I found on Etsy, coloured with Copics.  The background is a Spellbinder die, numbers cut using Quikutz and the Happy New Year is a Hero Arts stamp.  Apologies for the bad picture...tried as I may I could not get the metallic reds and golds to come out the way they are IRL.  The fringe and card base are actually dark red...
