Let's Go Sledding!

Did you all survive Christmas?  We had a very nice holiday but I am always glad to get back to normal.  I have a new Big Shot to play with though!  Now to take everything down and put it away until next year.  We have had some snow which I could certainly do without!  We had a blizzard come through and it brought lots of heavy wet snow.  I am going to learn to use the tractor before next time!  But on with my card...

I got an amazing card from my friend Eulanda for my birthday and she colors so well that it looks professional and air brushed.  I wish you could all see her work up close and personal.  Anyway I tried to use the same colors with a different image and tried to "copy" her coloring.  I must admit I am impressed with my little sledder.  It did take a long time but it was so worth it.  The image is a Whimsy image, isn't it cute?  The trees are Sizzix pine trees that I have a few of.  The paper is paper from last years stash and I cut the snowflakes with a Martha Stewart punch.  The snow flourish in the upper corner is a die cut from Memory Box.  I stickled the trees and snowflakes and added a little to the snow.  Then the last step was to take Glimmer Mist and spray the whole card so it shimmers.  I hope you like this one!

Any plans for New Years?  We plan to stay in and feast on Shrimp cocktail and other goodies.  Maybe we will dig out a deck of cards or a game.  Whatever you all do, stay safe!  I wish you all the best in 2013.  Does that even sound possible?  We were just worrying about Y2K, weren't we?

Until next time, happy trails to you....
