I wanted to try something different for this challenge.  I do so love snowman and snowflakes.  I used the Cricut cartridge - winter lace to make the large snowflake on this card.  I used the snowflake embossing folder from Cuttlebug and the image is from Hambo Stamps called Snowman sled. I have been waiting for just the right challenge to use this image and, of course, a little white glitter from Martha Stewart for the snow.

Instead of blues I just had to try purples.  I love the result.

So please show us your snowman/snowflake card at www.craftingforallseasons.blogspot.com

Quick and Easy Knitting

Hello Everyone,

It is early in the morning here and I just wanted to pull out some of my winter projects that I did not finish from last winter.  Shh.. Don't tell anyone but yes I have a ton of unfinished project not just winter ones.  I am just happy to be finishing the two I pulled out of my collection.

The first one is a slim scarf I was making for one of my kids.  They just love the lightweight slim ones.

It is almost done and still on the knifty knitter from Provo Craft.  I have quite a few of these knifty knitters in different sizes and shapes.  I don't really know how to knit in the traditional sense.  I would love to learn but wouldn't know where to start.  So I have opted for the easy way.

My second project is a knitted belt for my daughter.  She loves to have weird and different belts and this seems to work for her.

Yes, this one is also still on the knifty knitter but just needs to be taken off the device.  Then it will be done.

Check these knifty knitters out.  You can make all kinds of quick projects with these lovely products.  I used something like the pink knifty knitter above as a kid so that should tell you how easy they are to use.

Will post pictures when they are all done.

Hugs!

Happy Newt Year!

And no it is not a misspelling.  LOL

Just a new way to write Happy New Year using a cute Newt!  Ha Ha Ha :)

My card tonight is made following two challenges.  The First Challenge is the Hammmboooo Hoooeeedooownn.

The name just seem to echo through my mind like that.  LOL.  This weeks challenge is to make a card using this adorable Reptile digi from Hambo Stamps. and something new.

I also used the My Favorite Things "Wednesday Sketch Challenge #53.

This is the card a came up with following both of the above challenges:

The new item on my card is the lime green floss used in the stitching.
