SNOWSCAPES...

HAPPY 2011!!!
I was very spoilt over Christmas, and was given one of these beauties as a gift!!!! I was beyond excited!!!

I recieved it before Christmas, but with the hussle and bustle that is Christmas, I decided I would take it out to play once things had returned to normal .... that happened to be this week:-)
I have decided that the possibilities are absolutely endless. I only have a couple of cartridges at the moment, but I'm amazed at just how much you can create with just a little. I have made some snowscape notecard sets - I thought they'd make nice last minute gifts once they were popped in a cellophane bag and tied with some gorgeous ribbon, and a matching tag.

SNOW ABODES

I put a thin layer of transparent glitter glue over the snowy areas on this set. I cut the snowflakes with a small hand held paper punch I have. To add some sparkle, I glued a tiny rhinestone to the center of each snowflake.

This set just says "FUN" to me:-) All those happy little creatures frolicking in the snow .... it makes me smile!!!

I think I may settle down now with a nice mug of coffee, and make a set of garden gnome notelets .... watch this space!!!

PS - The dishwasher and washing machine are going - hmmm, the grind of daily chores:-)
