Snow bird

Hello there...

It the first challenge of 2014 with City Crafter this morning and I am hosting this week with this lovely photo


The theme is Snow Bird 
Create a card or project that features snow and a bird or birds

I know many of you are experiencing snow right now so I hope you are keeping warm and safe

As it was my Wedding Anniversary last Saturday ... I made this card for my husband


I started with a piece of grey card stock and sprayed it with Mister Huey's Calico white then added dimensional 'snow' with Snow Writer ... 


The bench and tree are dies by Memory Box and the birds are left overs that I cut on my Cameo 
The sentiment and music notes were done on my computer


My DH loved his card and it looks much better IRL ... more dimensional

Our Guest Designer this week is Ana who won the challenge in week 187 with This gorgeous entry!
Please click the link and take a look ...She's a very talented lady

We will also be offering a GD spot to this weeks' winner so if you are snowed in or just itching to get creative ... please come and join us this week ... We love seeing your talent

Don't forget to visit the CCCB blog and check out the creations from the rest of the team

Thanks so much for your visit, stay warm and keep safe
