Let It Snow...this early in the year!


So this week I was amazed to get a top three in the I Love ProMarkers
challenge Blog with my Val Ventura card. After checking out the site this weeks I saw that the new challenge was Travel and Transport. Instantly I knew which stamp I was going to use, I have a new Fizzy Moon stamp and he's on a sledge - well that's travelling isn't it?


The down side is that it really has to be a Christmas card and I really only like making them under panic rules - I normally wait until november and then start to panic.

The card has been put together using some really old papermania paper which i've had forever and along the runners I used something new to me this year, it's called diamond dust and when it dries it has a lovely crusty feel, like proper ice. It also has a beautiful reflective value which is more sparkly than glitter.

I will be entering this into The I Love ProMarkers Challenge #83 Travel/Transport






Also entered into Make It Monday #55

  3. Fabulous, I would never of thought of a sledge, love the colours, that big snowflake and the little heart locket charm. A beauty!
    I made a scrapbook album for my oldest son (now 33)of pictures of him when he was growing up using different modes of transport, eg. walking, bus, bike, horse, ride on mower etc, but no sledge, no snow here in Adelaide!
