Family Day Adventures

It's been months since we had a chance to go tobogganing, but yesterday was the perfect day...though it did takes us a while to find a hill that actually had some snow rather than just dirt and grass. It really hasn't been cold enough to melt, just think it's evaporated because it's been cold and dry!

Snow on my knees, proof I did go down on the crazy carpet!!

It really was fun and the afternoon ended with us going to Tim Horton's for a mug and dinner at Boston Pizza, it was a perfect day!

Cheers and happy Tuesday,
Viviana

Working on Ornaments for the Craft Sales!!

Michael's had these chipboard albums last year, so I turned them into ornaments (I got the idea from Sugar Sugar), she sold them on her website. Mine may not be as knockout pretty, but I think they come close!

What do you think?
Cheers,
Viviana

Got Some Cards Done, Finally!

The fact that I have been busy making cards can only mean one thing, winter is coming....oh and having a cold means I'm housebound only motivated to create, not clean or do housework....yeah!

It feels good, it makes me happy!

Cheers,
Viviana

Frosty Tips and Blue Sky=Beautiful!

Lines: The cold earth slept below

by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The cold earth slept below;
Above the cold sky shone;
And all around,
With a chilling sound,
From caves of ice and fields of snow
The breath of night like death did flow
Beneath the sinking moon.

The wintry hedge was black;
The green grass was not seen;
The birds did rest
On the bare thorn’s breast,
Whose roots, beside the pathway track,
Had bound their folds o’er many a crack
Which the frost had made between.


Enjoying winter,
Viviana

In keeping with the mood of the season, I thought I'd share this lovely little holly sprig. I love it because it has a wild rose on it, I live in Alberta, Canada, and the provincial flower is the wild rose (our license plates read "Wild Rose Country"). I am using it on our Christmas cards, which I will post as soon as I am done.

I'm thinking that maybe I should have started on them sooner, but the idea didn't really blossom until a few days ago, when my son and I were outside and I kept on thinking of all those little sepia pictures done in a studio with fake snow, and here we have tonnes of the real stuff to work with. Anyhow, I'll leave it at that, and I'll post it when I'm finished.

This next picture is so wonderful, I don;t even know how to express how I feel about it. The artists name is Billy DeVorss. Who wouldn't want to pose for him? Oh, if only he could paint me looking so stunningly beautiful!



This last one is for all of you who even though it is Christmas season, are still making and creating for other reasons too.
Thanks for looking and comments are gretaly appreciated.

This first one is not a Christmas one, but I just though it's such a great lable, I love the style and the pink, it's my favourite colour of course!



This image is just so darn cute, the little guy reminds me of an elf....



This one brought back memories of living up north and learning to cross country ski, though me thinks this little babe is not dressed well enough for the weather where I live!!
Enjoy using them for your projects and artwork to sell, but remember to not sell the image itself alone or as a group, thanks!
