Bling A Ding Ding - Wish It Was Snowing!

I'm quite certain it must be winter somewhere.  It is, after all, January - the month of snow, ice, coats, hats, boots, gloves, long underwear and hot chocolate.  This time last year, we were in blizzard conditions, which dumped more than two feet of snow on our fair city. 

This year?  We have set a record for the warmest January in history.  There is no one more irritated about this record breaking fact than yours truly.  I'm a four seasons kind of gal - spring, summer, fall and winter - I need them all, clearly defined, in the months in which they are supposed to appear.  I don't want my flowers blooming when it's supposed to be snowing and I don't want it snowing when my flowers are blooming.  You get the gist. . .

Now since today is our weekly Inky Impressions Challenge (Use Bling or Pearls) and I'm clearly pouting about the weather, I decided to vicariously through MarLeigha & Pebbles - take a look!

These two really know how to spend a snow day!  Don't you think? 

I started with the Sweet Sunday Sketch from the fabulous Karen Giron. . .

Now I must admit, I took a few liberties with the sketch and moved the circle and changed the banner to ribbon.  You know how it is with us cardmakers - things have to be "just so" or we kinda freak! And, rather than just use a plain circle - I replaced it with a glittered snowflake topped with a rhinestone brad.

Here's a close up. . .

I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copic markers.  I cut around the top of the image and popped it up on my favorite foam boosters from Jody Morrow.  I mean you really can't get much cuter than this image - don't you agree?

Why don't you join us today and create your own project using bling or pearls.  Remember, if you use an image from Inky Impressions, you could win a $10 gift card!  You can find all the details HERE!  

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope it's snowing where you are. . .

Very sweet, and I'm totally with you re: this winter - not a single snow day?! It's driving me crazy! Surely we'll get at least one before Spring Break (*fingers crossed!*). It's been a while since I heard from you, Grasshopper. Hope all is well with you & yours. :)
