Dotted Hugs

I love the snow!  Some of my favorite memories are of sledding when I was a kid.  We would go to this place called Dead Man's Hill.  How's that title to get your heart pumping?  Basically, it was this huge crater in the Earth.  People would sled to the middle from all four sides.  Legend has it that someone died sledding down that hill.  Of course, that could just be something my dad told us to get us spooked.

I still love to sled and ice skate.

Building snowmen and making snow angels is probably the one thing that can transport any adult into a kid again.  When my little girl was 3 we made a bunch of snow people.  She named one Sara.  This card reminds me of that moment.

I made it using the My Favorite Things Sketch.

I just love these Pure Innocence Stamps.  My papers are by Echo Park and the sentiment is a Hero Arts set.  I'm not sure if you can see in the picture, but I punched out 4 vellum circles and sewed them on under the sentiment.  I love it because the vellum came from an envelope that I got in the mail.  AND the ribbon at the top is off of my daughter's new sweater.  You know those loops they put inside to hang them on the hangers?  That's what it is!  Perfect use of recycling and I used it up within a few weeks.  Yeah me!

Here are the Copics I used:

It's a cruddy picture.  Sorry.  Let me know if you can't figure something out.

On a side note.... I would love a few extra prayers these next few weeks.  My husband isn't able to come home due to a weekend work project.   Today I will be presenting an idea at the PTO meeting to honor my mom and her Clothing Fund.  She is the person who planted the idea in me to pop popcorn each month for our school.  It averages over an extra 1,000 dollars for the PTO each year. (very tiny school so this is a nice amount) I'm going to ask them to take the proceeds from January to put towards my mom's fund.  I'm sure it will be very emotional for me.  Prayers of strength would be fabulous.  Thank you!!!!

Tomorrow I will have another project to share!  See you then!
