Hey y'all, how's your day going? We have a snow day today--both the hubs and Ryan are staying home today (well, except the hubs is currently out looking to buy a snowblower). I think we've got like 12 to 18 inches of snow so far? It's quite nice to look out through our big living room window at the wind whipping the snow around in our backyard and the open green space behind us while I'm nice and cozy and sipping my first cup of tea of the day. And I have a Very Good Girl laying down next to me and being a little angel.
I found out yesterday that Daphne may turn out to be a good craft room companion; she was pretty good about chilling out in there while I was working on a few things yesterday. So here's the maiden voyage for another stamp set I got like 6 weeks ago : )
The bundle is called Winterly Tree Tops but I made it autumnal. Ironic, considering all the snow outside. Here's the theme challenge from the Paper Players:
I found the grateful sentiment in Inspirational Sketches. And here's the new sketch from Atlantic Hearts:
Thanks to LeAnne for introducing me to this challenge, I've been having fun with it. Last up is the color challenge from TGIF Challenges:
I found wash patterns in both Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry in the Splendid Autumn DSP Stack and used Pecan Pie for layers in between. That Cherry Cobbler wash is very dark but it really is Cherry Cobbler.
That's it for me today, peeps. I think I need another cuppa tea. Cheers!

This is so elegant with the rich colours! Thanks for sharing with us at Atlantic Hearts :)
Christy, those birds are so sweet and I love how you used the rich fall colors in your layering. Yum! We had 22+ inches of snow over a 4 day period last winter, so after all that shoveling, my husband bought a snowblower this fall. Good investment in both of our snowy climates! Thanks so much for sharing with us at The Paper Players!
Beautiful card, Christy! Love the colors on the birds! Thanks for sharing at AHS!!!
Christy... the gold layered with burgundy and those sweet birds makes a fabulous card. Love it. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with The Paper Players.
Wow, snow already! Gee whizzies! I would love to see some of that! A pretty card, love the fall colors and I always love me some birdies! So happy you joined our "thankful" challenge this week at the Paper Players as well as our Atlantic Hearts sketch!
Snow always sounds so romantic, especially when viewed through a window while you're warm and cosy! I love the richness of the colours you've used for this card. Those birds look pretty cosy too. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
Such a beautiful card, Christy! These colors are lovely together and coordinate perfectly with the birds. The festive pearls are an elegant touch. LOVE it!!! Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
