Shopping Our Stash is feeling the Winter Blues.............

Challenge 412 at Shopping Our Stash is Winter Blues we want you to create a winter blue card or a card that is predominately blue.  This was a much easier one for me than last challenge can you believe I had nothing in the line of gnomes and besides that I'm struggling to do any creating, it literally took me 75% of the day to make my card and the image was already coloured.  Finally I found a sketch at Sunday Stamps that pushed me to get the project done. So here is my Winter Blues card.

Very stash bustin' card here, With all the cardstock the only one I had to get a fresh 8 1/2 X 11 piece, the rest was from my hanging file folders that hold my off cuts. The patterned paper I think might be bo bunny and my last one of this design. The blue and white baker's twine I haven't a clue when I bought it. The sentiment is a Tim Holtz Christmas sentiment package I have just opened and I think I've had it for a year.


Close up of the super cute Bugaboo image. I used wink of stella on the snow and hi hat.


Finished inside with a Hero Arts sentiment (a prize from the Jingle Belles)
Now thinking about the sentient it hasn't been fun here in Canada, lots of snow and very cold temperatures, It's a wonderful time of the year....to stay in and craft. 

I am entering this in these challenges.

Hello, Barb! So nice to see you posting a card! I love the cute penguin and fun papers you used! That's a great sketch too! I also like the sentiment on the inside of your card! Hope you're doing okay, my friend. I imagine you're getting dumped on with snow! I saw photos of the snow in Nfld and it's crazy! Hope you're not getting anywhere near that amount of snow!

This little penguin is so adorable, he's ready to play in the snow, well.....maybe in the North Pole because we haven't gotten any significant snowfall up here in a long while.
Love your pattern paper too, sweet card, Barbara.
