Living in NC, we really don't get that much snow.

We only get snow a couple of times a YEAR if that. Emily ended up working today but I didn't want her driving on the icy roads so Charlie and I took her. I figured she would call us about 2 hours later but she ended up working till 8 so we will be leaving shortly to pick her up. While she was at work, I watched Nicholas and Charlie do some more sledding and then we built 2 snowmen. Here are some more snowy photos for your viewing pleasure :).

Have you tried the faux grid technique?

I did it today and I really love how this Easter card came out. I, again, embossed the chocolate bunny. This time on white paper with brown embossing powder (yes, I had to go to Hobby Lobby today before the snowstorm hit so I can emboss over the weekend if we are snowed in and its too cold to build a snowman). LOL What do you think????? You can find the directions here if you want to try it yourself.

Copic markers with an air compressor

I got a new toy today, thanks to Cindy in Iowa. She just got the Copic marker airbrush kit along with a new air compressor so I wanted to try it too. Charlie and I went to Harbor Freight with a coupon and came out with one in hand. I made this card today and I wanted to show this to Jackie so I hope she sees it. I was trying to tell her how I had learned to cut a nestie like this and I had a hard time telling her so here are photos that will hopefully explain it to her.

First, I put the Labels 3 Nestie up against the image. As you can see, I want her head above the shape of the nestie so I moved it up on the top and then I marked with a pencil (so I can erase it later) where I wanted it to cut with the scissors. I cut with my scissors on each side of her head to the point where I want the nestie to go up to. Then I tuck the image underneath the nestie where I cut it. Then you cut your image out using your Cuttlebug or whatever diecut machine you have and make sure you turn the cut side the right way. If you don't, it will cut off her head. LOL I then colored the image and then decided I needed to add a little more background "spray" using my Copic marker airbrush system. So if you look carefully, you can see it a little darker where I sprayed it before finishing the card. I need to practice alot more using my copics and the airbrush kit but I really do like the end result!!!
