Snow is falling

Well, not actually falling at the moment, but it has been falling and is now sitting there looking menacing!  The worst of it fell yesterday, but luckily I had headed home early on Friday as, once a few flakes of snow fall the whole of the rail network grinds to a halt.  I managed to get my grocery shopping done on the way home so I haven't needed to go out during the heavy snow.  So, I have spent the weekend making cards for my two DDs. The first one is obviously based on t!m's tag.  I changed the colours, used a musical stamp instead of script, used the whole of the Townscape die and added some Snowtex to the houses, plus a couple of trees to fill up the space at the edge.

The second one just sort of evolved.  I started with a paper napkin with a Santa on that I wanted to use.  Once that had dried and been trimmed I gave it a wash of Mushroom Eco paint and some mica powder then wondered what to do next!  I finally decided on using some PaperArtsy bauble stamps on some chipboard I had coloured with Inca Gold and Viva Precious Metal, cut these out and attached them with ribbon underneath a Basic Grey chipsticker.  It looks much sparklier in real life.

Scary thing, these are the last two cards I needed to make, so I am all finished with almost a week to go!! I have also decorated the cake, tidied the living room and put up the Christmas decorations. I am obviously a pod person and the real me has been kidnapped by aliens :o

Ah well, four more work days to go (I don't have to work on
Christmas Eve).... maybe the snow will come back tonight and I will be snowed in :)

Hope everyone is keeping warm and safe.
