Let the Flakes Fly

Hi stamping friends, happy Monday.
Well I had a wonderful trip to Chicago. I got to spend time with my friends and my sister. I haven't seen her for a year and a half (waaaay to long) so it was great to see her again.

You would never know that I grew up in the city. I am such a country girl now. I've lived in Michigan for twenty-six years and I just love it here. All though it is fun to visit Chicago I am very happy to be home with my man my trees and my dogs.

As you know, I just love Fall and Winter so today's card celebrates the snow that will be falling soon. RRRAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!

Another Fish Story

Hello everyone. I Hope you're having a good day. I wanted to share this card with you. I made this for my husband who after loosing his job last October went back to school at age fifty-one and is now on the deans list. I am so proud of him. Anyway he loves the outdoors, fishing and hunting and he inspired me to make this little creation. I took a fly from his collection. Shhhhh, don't say anything. Hope you like it.

Honey, did you put the hotdogs away?

I couldn't resist. This little coon is so sneaky and he looks like he got his hand caught in the cookie jar. This is so like a raccoon to do something like this. When the kids were younger we raised baby coons. A mama coon was taken away and her three little ones were left behind and we just couldn't leave them to fend for themselves so we took care of them until they were ready to be on their own. They were so much fun and the kids learned so much being with them.
I always wanted this "Happy Camper" stamp set and finally bought it when it went on the retired list. Well, then I saw "Rocky Raccoon" from Whipper Snapper stamps and knew that they had to be together. I think I smiled the whole time I was creating this card. It is for my husband. He is such a sweetheart. He always encourages me in my art and I wanted him to know how much I appreciate him. He really liked it.
I masked the little trailer then sponged the sky and ground in and then stamped the trees. Rocky Raccoon is poped up and so is the hotdog. The man is from "Loads of Love Accessories". I used Prismacolor pencils, Copic Markers, Copic Glitter Pens, and ink pads to color the images. I hope that you like it.
