Three Penguins Holiday Card

I'm still celebrating the holidays the way it looks with my card today.  I think it is this unusual weather for where I live.  We are having colder weather than usual and we even have snow and ice forecast for tomorrow.  It rarely snows where I live so everyone is getting pretty excited.  I'll bet the bread and milk aisles at the grocery store are empty.  ;)  I felt like playing with acrylic paint on this card.  The stars are painted with a small artist brush and three colors of paint (purple, orange and pink).  I also painted the border at the end of the tag plus the patterned paper "ribbon" at top of tag.  Just for fun and maybe because I am starting to get cabin fever because I know I can't go anywhere (roads are starting to close).  :)  Oh well put the kettle on for hot chocolate and make the best of it.  Wink.  Thanks for stopping by and hope you are warm and getting crafty.

Snow Business Card

I am back after taking some time off to enjoy the holidays and spend time with my family.  I hope your Christmas was wonderful and Santa brought you crafty "toys."  I got new thin metal dies from Santa but my daughters really surprised me with a Silhouette Cameo 3.  It is going to be fun (and a challenge) learning to use it.  Today's snowman card uses new dies I got for Christmas by Reverse Confetti.    These fun snowmen are going to be linking up to:
