In The Meadow...

Here we are in December already! Time goes way too quickly these days. I had hoped to make more Christmas cards by now, but I still have a few weeks so that's good.

The first card of this month is called "In The Meadow...." with thoughts of the timeless song that continues "we can build a snowman..."

I really do love snow even though I'm here in Florida. I have many fond memories of playing as a child, then playing with my own children, in the snow. There's really nothing that says "Christmas" quite like snow, although my mom reminds me that Jesus was born in Jerusalem and that it doesn't really snow there are that it really has nothing to do with Christmas.

Bah humbug!

This card will be entered into two challenges: 1) NBUS Challenge #69 because I bought this set last year from Mark of the Angel Card Project and haven't used it until this card and 2) WORD ART WEDNESDAY"S Challenge 675 & 676 because they have great challenges that are always "anything goes."

Here's my complete supply list:

  • Lawn Fawn's Making Frosty Friends
  • Lawn Fawn's Merry Messages
  • Patterned Paper (gifted from a friend)
  • Stampin' Up! Mossy Meadow Card Stock
  • SU! Pear Pizzazz Card Stock
  • Memento Black Ink
  • Stickles Star Dust Glitter
  • Copic Markers
Thanks so much to everyone who makes these challenges
possible time after time. I really appreciate the inspiration and the ability to share!

This card is a little bigger than even a regular slimline so I think it's going to take a bit more postage to send it to someone. Hopefully they will like and appreciate snow!

  1. A cute scene you have created Barb - love the look of the trees in the background - it makes it look like a foggy day!

  2. I guess we have modern-day marketing to thank for the association of snow with Christmas, Barb! I love it, too, even though I never see it here in this part of California. I grew up where it snows, however, and I'll never forget the beauty of that first pure snowfall of the year. You know, before it turns to snit, as Kelly Ripa says! Your snowcouple are so cute in their little swept-up forest! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Happy Holiday Hugs, Darnell
