Snow Days - New Year, New Cards

Hi All,  I am in snowy Ohio sharing some cards made with Papertry Ink's Build-a-hat Dies 

I have been having fun making these winter caps with some fun sentiments appropriate for the conditions outside!

  It has been a while since I have posted any of my cards,  I have decided to start sharing some of my card creations using the different companies I have been making some purchases from.  I am not paid by these companies - I just enjoy their products - and want to share ideas.  I will be putting links in the posts to the main products that I have used.  Many of the papers that I will be using may be old, and I may stick some old gems or ribbon on a card as well.  

Winter Snowflake Tablescape

It looks as though Jack Frost has made a visit to our area.  

So I took it to the table with a Winter Snowflake Tablescape

There is about 6 inches of new fallen snow on the ground and the sun is shining brightly!

The blanket of white just makes everything look so pristine.
It also puts a wonderful hush on the world around us and all is calm,
that is, at least if you don't have to travel anywhere!

Looking out of our kitchen door at the steps leading down to the landing, you can see the snow piled up and this little area is protected by the side of our house and those huge evergreen trees. My husband took this picture before he let the dogs out and they left their tracks.

I clipped a few branches off those evergreens to use for my centerpiece.

This grey themed table just felt right after I took down all of the Christmas decorations.

I left a few evergreen touches here and there for a winter look. 

Hobby Lobby had these grey rimmed plates with a snowflake border that just found their way into my basket as I was buying craft supplies before Christmas.  I knew I had these snowflake napkin rings and the frosted snowflake candle holders that would go nicely with the plates.

Making a snow angel is on my list of things to do this weekend!
I hope your able to have some winter fun!
