There's no time like snow time...

I'm am back in the land of blogging!!!

I had some real fun with my Cricut creating this LO for the current sketch at Scrapville. I kept it pretty close to the sketch and LOVED how it turned out. The title was the hardest decision to make...I couldn't decide whether to do it in pale blue, dark blue or be adventurous and use vellum. So I decided to layer all 3 and add a bit of dimensional magic to the top layer and I was pretty pleased with the end product. The asterisk snowflakes were fun too...sticker paper, cardstock and a little glitter was all it took to create simple yet effective accents.
Go check out some of the other submissions for a little inspiration and give it a go yourself!

Happy Scrapipn'

Life goes on...

I have been very remiss in my blogging duties over the last month or so but it is with sadness in my heart that the reason for my absence was the weekend trips to Melbourne to spend the last moments we could squeeze in with my father-in-law who sadly passed away on May 23rd, at home and surrounded by those he loved.

Although this has, and continues to be, a sad time for our family, it has also been a time of great learning from this beautiful man and a great relief to see him slip peacefully from this life into the next and be free from pain and suffering.

We are finally back at home again and can settle back to whatever normal might be. Hope to put up some pics tomorrow.

Keep smiling and make every moment in life count!!!
