Over the
last few weeks, we’ve suffered a few major blizzards. Each time I was safe and
warm in my craft room, while heavy snow fell and whipped around. The agency
where I work was hosting its second annual office door decorating contact and the
weather inspired this design that features a fun Santa digi (enlarged to fill several
sheets of copy paper), and a flurry of snowflakes. I used a few sparkly snowflake stickers, and was going to die-cut
more, until I found several envelopes full of paper
snowflakes that are precious to me! Back in the late 1990’s one of my sisters,
who is skilled at folding and fussy-cutting intricate snowflakes, taught me how
to make them. A few days later, as I added dozens of the snowflakes to the scene
on my office door, I enjoyed warm memories of the afternoon that we spent together,
laughing and munching on Christmas cookies as we snipped up a storm! Note- you can't see it in the photos, but his "shades" are made with metallic red paper. In-person, they provide a bit of color and nice reflective surface!

Fingers Challenge Blog: ATG #245
One of my
favorite challenges is named Snippets Playground because the sponsors/hosts
are so sweet, plus I love that it
encourages me to use the many scraps, i.e. snippets, that I just can’t stand to
toss! This card includes so many little
bits and pieces of treasures from my stash. The current challenge is “Anything But
Christmas” and I had fun using a template I found on
Pinterest to make a patchwork-looking cat. I am not sure how I did it, but my
feline turned out much, um… fluffier… than the template. (Maybe it should serve
as a warning for me… since I really love holiday treats! I also love the sentiment
on the inside of the card. It’s from one of my favorite sources of humorous-
and free- sentiments.)
Supplies:
· Cat Scrap Template-
