♥: Peace snowflake

11.25.2011

Peace snowflake

It's black Friday and while most are out shopping, I am sitting at home with my slippered feet and pajamas on. I really don't mind that I am house bound. Except when I get strange cravings for food not in the house. Hopefully I will get cleared for driving in a few days. It really makes me stop and think about all those who will never be permitted to drive again. That makes me weepy and if I cry anymore my husband will surely award me the drama queen crown. I am aiming for a day without it. ;-)
Today I wanted to share my Paper Playtime card I created using PSA Essentials. Have you used these? Oh my they are the coolest invention! Anyone can stamp a perfect image with this clever tool.

I wanted a beautiful wintery scene on my card because I am hoping for a white Christmas. The stamp set I used is TreeO. I used some glitter paper stacked with a polka dot banner layered with a doily and a circle reindeer print. The sentiment is stamped on a die cut scallop which I popped up with foam dots. I stamped a snowflake and cut out which I added to the lower left corner. A few rhinestones and my card is complete!

farmhouse-story: such a pretty card, amy:) wishing you a brighter day!; November 26, 2011 at 2:27 PM
Pauline: Hi Amy! I hope you're driving again soon...I've never been able to drive, because I have no peripheral vision, or depth perception. I understand your 'housebound' feelings, but I see driving as a priviledge and a learned skill, not a right.... so I don't miss it (especially when I never had it!) I hope you had a terrific Thanksgiving. Thank you for offering your gorgeous giveaway, which I've entered twice, as I posted it on my blog!
hugs and blessings from Australia,
