Cold Trees

I got an email today from AAA Card #255 - It's Cold Sketch.  I was instantly inspired, so I joined in.

When I saw the sketch, I was like yes! I can use my faux snow. [I am addicted].  I punched out 3 trees from a stashed inked panel, got my white enamel paint, added some water, and yep - splattered the heck out of my trees.

 

I added a tiny MC, adhered my trees, and this easy card was complete!  This is a big win, as I needed yet another Christmas card.

Thanks AAA - I had so much fun.

--------------------------------

Below is a 3x3 Desktop Calendar gift that I made for a friend of mine. I am loving the size of this cutie!

I had these flowers staring at me on my desk - they were a great add-on to this desktop calendar.

It comes with a small drawer - perfect for holding a post-it pad and a small pen.

I wrapped this fun project in a slide out transparency cover.  All ready for putting in a gift bag now.  I do love a good ABC project.  Being a gift? Excellent.

Thanks for stopping by~

Your card is CAS and perfect -- with all that white, it definitely looks like snow!
Your friend is sure to love the calendar, and an adorable idea with the little drawer
