Here is my card for Crafter's Digital Art Center's Progressive Challenge Number 9. The image I chose to use is the snow globe from Crafty Ann's. Isn't it cool? I have always wanted to try a snow globe and now I had a good reason to do it! (why I LOVE LOVE LOVE Challenges!!). I used some wrapping paper with snowflakes on it for the base of the snowglobe and for the background of the calendar. I also used it to cut out my 'snowflakes' - which is really a flower punch (shhhhhh.. don't tell anyone!). I was stumped as to how to make the globe look globe-like so I could fill it with glitter and tiny itty bitty beads and more glitter! My smart, dear, wonderful always inventive husband came up with the idea of using a Pringles can lid!!! WHO WOULDA THOUGHT?? Not me for sure. SO I resized my globe to fit the lid (good ole Printmaster can't be beat for that stuff!). And once I had my image done, I carefully poured the snow globe contents in and then glued the lid to the globe VERY CAREFULLY! (I love Glossy Accents for stuff like that!). And here we are... a SNOW GLOBE TO BE PROUD OF!! The images are just things I had in my stash - if you need more detail I can try to find out for you!
Oh and the calendar idea I got from My Favorite Things. She sent a newsletter with a freebie calendar template. Last year, my sister and I did card swaps. We would take turns picking a theme and then make a card and mail it to each other. This year we are making calendar pages for each other. Mine is ready to be sent!! Hope you enjoyed this. Come back again!!

About ME!
Hi there and welcome to my blog. My name is Patti and I live in Kentucky with my best friend and husband, Chad and my dog, Jaxson and cat, Gidget. I love to create things and I am glad you are here to share them with me. Life is a wonderful adventure full of new things to explore. I enjoy the wonder of little kittens and the soft belly of small puppies, the sun as it sets and rises and glows in the sky, painting our world in the beauty of its rays, and all other wonders of nature. In fact there aren't many things I don't enjoy. Making cards and other things helps me to express my love for life. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them.
I do create one of a kind cards and I do sell them. I can make them specifically to your taste. You know how hard it is to find "just the right thing" when you are shopping for a card? Well, let me help you design it. It will be fun for both of us. I don't do cards for holidays or birthdays - but I do generic cards that fit all occasions. If you need a celebration card I will be happy to make it for you. Feel free to contact me through email and we can decide what is right for you.
