**** Fab'n'Funky #565 ****

Hello folks,

Hope all is well with you and yours.

I will be staying around home today due to the 25 cm of snow that is expected.  A good time to tackle some chores inside that I've been putting off.  Our Son and his girl friend are in Whistler, BC snowboarding and skiing.  I've enjoyed all the pictures showing how beautiful winter can be in the Rocky Mountains with an average snowfall of 103 cm in January so we in Ontario have nothing in comparison.

Time for a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #565

hosted by our lovely N-Eva who has chosen the theme "New Beginnings"

I've created a card for a good friend who is celebrating the Chinese New Year of the Rabbit. The 

Lantern die is Spellbinder and the circled rabbit is from Memory Box

I would like to enter the following:

**** Sweet Stampin ****

Hello folks,

Hope you are all well and have something fun planned this weekend.

We are experiencing a very mild January so far, much to our delight. It makes walking so much easier when you don't have to worry about snow and ice.   I'm sure Mother Nature will bring winter back at some point but until then we will enjoy.  

Today starts a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin Challenge

I've coloured with Copics a few stamps from MFT and then die cut them for this fun card.

Banner is also a MFT stamp and die.

****Blue, blue and more blue****

 Good morning everyone,

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Beautiful sunny fall day today here. The fall foliage this year has been the best in over 20 years we are told and I have to agree.  They have been absolutely gorgeous and with the warmer weather they have lasted for several weeks, an unexpected treat. 

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #560

where I am hosting and have chosen the theme

"Shades of Blue"

I have used a new die "Stylized Angel" from Simon Says Stamp as the focal point that is becoming my favourite image for this year's Christmas cards because it can be used so many ways.  I've been wanting this one for quite some time and am so happy I gave in and ordered it as I know it will be used a lot.

Blue paper from StampinUp, white glitter paper is from Simon Says Stamp.

There is shiny royal blue paper matted behind the white which I'm afraid does not show very well.

Sentiment cut using a die from QuicKutz in the shiny paper as well.

Entering the following challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenge - U

As you Like it Challenge - Fav. Christmas Image
