These new releases by High Hopes have GOT to be my favourite ones so far, since becoming a Design Team member!! The snowpeople are just the cutest I've ever seen!! Today I played with Snow Sweet Snowlady and some of my new Figgy Pudding designer papers by Basic Grey!! Don'tcha love playin' with new stuff!!!?? I took on this week's challenge from Jeanne and Sherry, which was to use some of the patterned paper we've been hoarding........I mean SAVING!! Yah, that's the ticket!!! (Sheesh, did I just date myself there??) I went one step further and finally opened a package of adhesive chipboard accents that I bought at Joann's LAST YEAR!! Yipes!!

Anyhoo, I stamped the Snowlady on Stampin' Up's watercolour paper and used both my SU markers and my Aquapainter with SU inks to colour her in! I used Cranberry Crisp, Soft Sky, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Creamy Caramel. Then I used a Prismacolor marker in 20% gray to shade around the snow. The card base is a square Cranberry Crisp base, then I used several different Figgy Puddy papers and also some Soft Sky in there for matting. I used three SU eyelets in the top of the main layer and threaded through some cheapie ribbon that I got in the $ bin at Michael's on the weekend, and it just happens to match Soft Sky!! I used some gold cord, a couple of Martha Stewart snowflake punches, the SU scalloped circle punch and pop dotted the chipboard accent on top! I finished the card off by adding some white gel pen dots around the scallops and putting lots of sparkles on the snow and snowflakes with Diamond Stickles!! Ain't she purdy???

Well, Al has headed back to Calgary early, early this morning for at least another week, maybe two. It was so nice to have him home for the weekend and we had lots of ........ fun!! Get your minds out of the gutter!!! *snicker* I've been working really hard on my Christmas Card orders and he even helped me today, by punching out some shapes for the sets I was working on!! He must REALLY have missed me to agree to do that!! Hahaha!!

Hey!! Guess what?? I've got some seriously-awesome, ohmygosh, no way!, are-you-serious, that's-totally-cool news to share with you!!! But you'll have to wait until tomorrow!!! Anyone have any guesses?????
