To you and yours

The sun may be shining....but it is much too cold outside for me....brrrr.  Must mean it's crafting time!

A Magnolia stamp and some water colours today.  I've used the 'out of the box' technique to cut out the image, using the Spellbinders Labels Eighteen die, which gave me some blank space to stamp a message.  The placement of the background DP also gave me more blank space to add more stamping.

Thanks for stopping by....stay warm!

It's cold outside....

Do penguins feel the cold?  I just had to google it....and it would seem that they don't.  What a lucky duck, or whatever.  lol    For my card today, I've coloured up this adorable little Penguin from Dr Digi's House of Stamps.   I know that Christmas is over for this year, but winter isn't, and this little guy is sure to warm your heart....though not likely your toes!

After colouring with markers, I had a play with my Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments die.  I've used the 'out of the box' technique for cutting the image, and then some other layers in behind.  A bit of greenery and a pretty bow adds a festive touch.  I'm getting a head start on my cards for next year.

For those that enjoy winter....have fun!  For the rest of us, stay warm and hope for an early spring!
