It is supposed to be winter and very cold like these penguins but so far it has been a very mild winter here in Nebraska. We have only had one snow and it was just a little. Yesterday and today we have had the sprinklers going to try to get some moisture into the ground and into our trees and bushes. It is beginning to get a bit colder now. Today it is just 44 degrees but on Thursday it was 66 degrees IN January IN Nebraska. My little Lucy and I walked when I got home from work until it get really dark. It was just too nice to waste the time inside. Later this week our weathermen are saying it will be in the 20's for highs. That is more like it and even now it should be zero or minus zero. I am not complaining. The 20's are going to be darn cold for us.
My card today was colored with Copics. Did you know they are coming out with 12 new colors in February? I have mine on order, do you? The snowflake is from K and Co. and the paper is from My Mind's Eye and called 12 Days of Christmas. I don't think you can see the glitter on the white part of the hat and the pom pom. Oh and I used cheesecloth for the first time. Next time I will let it flop around more. I think I used too much glue on it.
I am reading a great book called Night Road by Kristin Hannah. You can read about it on Amazon and decide if it is one you would like.
Until next time, Happy Trails to you....

They are darling, Sheri! It's been awesome weather here in Minnesota, too. Not in the sixties, but it's been in the upper forties. Pretty amazing! I'll take it:)
ReplyDeleteThose penguins are adorable! Glad you are having a mild winter so far.
ReplyDeleteI love the penguins! So cute! It's gonna get cold down here too, but no snow I hope. I've read a lot of the Hannah books, they're great.
ReplyDeleteCute stamp and very cheerful.
ReplyDeleteAwww you used the penguins!!! Oh my gosh they are so super cute! AND I do like how you use the cheese cloth!! It adds so much doesn't it? Glad you are having a mild winter. We are too and it's not even close to what was predicted. Yay for that!
ReplyDeleteVery cute Sheri! I must try that cheese cloth. Eulanda uses it often and it looks so nice! Yes, loving our winter thus far too. Oh I know we need some more snow for the water thing and all but.....still some winter left yet I guess.
ReplyDeleteThis card makes me want to give someone a HUGE HUG!!! It's just so sweet and the colors are cozy too. Your use of the cheese cloth is so creative!
ReplyDeleteYour penguins are sooooo cute! Great coloring and card. And yes, I have the new Copic Colors preordered as well.
