I've made a Wintery card that will no doubt come in handy next Christmas. I've used my favourite Tim Holtz Snowman a a Nellie Snellen stamp called Nesting box with birds. along with some small fir trees that came free with a magazine a long time ago.
The rest of the Design Team have some great inspiration for you, so please pop over to the main challenge page, where you will find all the challenge detail.
We had a few inches of snowfall on Saturday morning before we left home for the twins 5th birthday party in Durham, Durham had no snow and we had more falling late afternoon when we got home, so Sunday morning the phone call came - can we play in your snow. I should have taken a couple of photos, they had so much fun and apart from a demolished snowman I have 'snow Angels' all over the garden.
Can you believe the twins are 5 today! Time really does fly.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful wintery card Avril- lovely scene and fabulous stamps- you'll be glad of this when next Christmas comes.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday twins! I'm not a fan of snow myself but I do love to see children playing in it- you can feel their joy and excitement! xx
I love the happy snowman. He looks like he's excited and is going to dance around...wouldn't that be funny though? Hope 2026 is going well for you. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteGoodness time does fly Avril, seems like only yesterday you announced they had arrived.
ReplyDeleteYour post title is spot on, it's freezing here, snow for two days and minus 6 so packed like ice everywhere. Your cad certainly sums up he view outside, mine you I've not built a snowman!

Its a wonderful winter scene Avril, you have made an early start for December.
ReplyDeleteI smiled when I read that the twins wanted to use your snow, it would be magical for you all to see them having fun
and how quickly those years have passed by.
