Happy Birthday Floral card

It was a chilly day outside yesterday - a high of 8 degrees.  I decided to heat things up with my heat press and make some new pillows.  I may have shown off my Minnesotan roots.

Warmest Festive Wishes card

 

Nothing says winter like ice skating up here in the frozen north.  I wear Yaktrax to keep me from doing any accidental skating in winter but when I was young, I had dreams of being the next Dorothy Hamill.  I was horrible but this gnome sure looks like he knows how to do a triple axel.  I did use a foam circle to make his pom pom pop.

Christmas Gnome Stockings

 

I had to take a break from card making somewhat to keep up on Gnome Stockings.  I've gotten a variety of sizes of stockings and away I went.  The hardest part is cutting the white acrylic fur but it was still fun.
