~No People Like Snowpeople~

I LOVE SNOWPEOPLE.

I USED to say "I love snowmen".

But then, I met her.

She's modeled after my Great-Aunt Grace who is 93!

Actually, Aunt Grace doesn't wear glasses...but I couldn't resist stamping these for her (Lawn Fawn Clear to See).

 This 3D decoration shouldn't take up too much space in my aunt's room.

 I used Papertrey Ink's Shape-Up Series Snowman Die and stamps.(oooh, I just caught that.)  

I should write to them about changing it to snowpeople...

WINK. ;)

She's anchored to a Papertrey Ink coaster that's been decorated with DP (sanded on the edges to keep it from flipping up).

 I wanted Aunt Grace to see that spool.  

She would appreciate that I recycled that.

She spent MANY volunteer HOURS crafting gifts and delivering flowers to a local hospital (years back when she could).

 Here's a shot of the other side.

I gave the tree a little depth with two sides.

I stamped snowflake "decorations" on the DP part of the tree.

My colors were inspired by Embellish Magazine's Die Cuts Color Trend.

Thank you for peeking in today. ;)

~Tilt it~

I really tried to make this card straight....but the tilt was calling to me. ;)

I truly need tilts in my life.

They reassure me that perfection is not the only way (unless you're a heart/brain surgeon...any surgeon, of course). 

Tilts are acceptable in cardmaking.

 

Isn't that great?

~True Happiness~

True Happiness

When my husband was close to his military retirement a few years ago, the mailman asked him,

"Are you retired?"

My husband answered the best he could at the time, "Well, sort of."

To which the mailman replied with a thick, southern drawl,

"Either ya are, or ya aren't".

We still use that phrase around the house. ;)

True Happiness.

Either ya have it, or ya don't.

Not a challenge...just a thought. ;)

I'm not sure what I will write in this card or to whom I will send it.

The sentiment just seemed to fit the card. ;)

Have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by.
