Pretty Bird

This card is for the CDAC Color Challenge this week.  The digi image is from Happi Scrappin Doodles - Leigh Grady.   The bird & flowers are colored with copics.  The background cardstock is from Bisous Zoo, the flower and other papers are from my stash.  This was fun to color and to add the embelishments - pink pearls and white rings of pearls to the flowers.
Went out last night for dinner with my husband and was surprised with another fairly heavy snowfall.  Roads were not too bad when we drove home - but we did have more overnight.  We are so lucky we moved last year to a complex where the road, your driveway and even your front porch and walks are cleared for you.

Figure Skater

The Midnight Madness Challenge for this week at CDAC is based on these two sketches.  I chose to do the plain one this week turning it on its side.  For this card  I used a digi from Gingerloft - by Tami.  I used a black Starform sticker inside the edge of the Oval.  Sticky paper, lace and two colors of glitter, black and white.  The punch is from EK Success.  The papers from my stash.
This card is for my 9 year old grandaughter who competed at the weekend , she earned two medals a gold  a bronze and a fourth place finish.

Cards for Men

 

Always find it hard to design cards for men but enjoyed doing this one  The horse at the top is a stamp from Stamping-Up.
The horses at the bottom are from a Dreamweaver stencil and I used a dark brown paste.  It does appear to be black here. Some dark brown DP and brown brads and it is complete.

Had a great day to-day.  A new Day Ladies curling series started to-day - I got to play with a new team.
It was a good game, we kept alternating getting 1 point each end.  But in the final end we made 5 points to win the game.  This series goes until the end of March and you are on a different team each week, I play lead.
This is my third year to play.  At the end of the series the 10 best skips, vices, seconds and leads will be in teams and  play against each other to become the winners of the series.
Tonight we are waiting for  a  snow storm to descend on us.  We have not had more than a few inches of snow so far this winter.  If we get as much as they say we are to get, we will be staying home to-morrow.
