Back & White! Toronto is deluged with Snow!

Hello, hello and hello! 

I'm back!  And its really, really WHITE outside, ha ha...really white!



 I was MIA because I came down with some super-duper bug that knocked the beejeebies out of me for nearly all of January! It was one of those you get only once in awhile - thank God - and you can't do anything but moan 'n' groan around the home helplessly watching a multitude of things piling up...and wondering why your family can't seem to do any additional tasks [ahem]- hell! Mom is down!!  Well, that's another discussion, righ? Right.

ANYHOO, so I just spent the better part of the last week doing:
      a) catching up with business,
      b) met up with a lovely girl - Hi Kathy! - who I am grateful to say, I returned her wallet I found,       c) FINALLY getting out of my WIND Mobile account {another hallelujah!},
 and then what did I do?......

....well, went CRAFT SHOPPING - HECK YAH!!!!!!  

No kidding, eh?  After all, I sooooo deserved to!  But first things first here is some photos of what is outside our door after the SNOWFALL of FEB 08-2013!   My daughter is not home today because she had to SLEEP AT WORK! No kidding...it was that bad! {well - not all that bad when you consider I had a quiet home all night, lol}..........but here is what TORONTO looks like after a snowfall that had traffic swerving, and grinding to a halt many times over!

6 PM  Feb 8/13  Snow is overtaking TO as it falls, falls everywhere!

 



The poor Pepper has to contend with this ...lol

NOW - we wake up to this.......
...isn't it pretty, oh glorious Sun!
But just the night before, this intersection had cars stuck...oh my! It was
like watching a sport to see if people could become unstuck, ha ha! Got
to buy those WINTER TIRES folks - pay the money! 

Our lamp.

Look to the left.....

Look down....."somebody" still needs his walk!
 
And that walk was for the physically fit!  My goodness, navigating the sidewalks was no easy feat!
And his Highness had to be picked up more than a couple of times and carried - phew, my Tim's coffee was good to say the least in the midst of all this.  But its February - what else can we expect?

OK ......I will move to my next post about crafting.....yeah for crafting in a winter way!  See ya soon!

Gothic Birthday Card

 Have a friend who appreciates the gothic sensibilities? Then dig into your creative spirit and look at the norm through a wonderful, rich and dark prism!  I chose a designer paper with a fab colour set. Next why do butterflies when a moth will be better?  Here Tim Holtz’s Funky Insects die set does the trick. To make it a tad interesting I placed a pocket inside and crafted a ATC which doubled as a coffee gift card holder. A second large tag holds my message. Well crafters, explore your options and enjoy!

Funky Insects Tim Holtz - first projects

  Funky Insects Thinlits Dies (not including bee die shown upper left ) Tim Holtz's Funky Insects are a hoot to play with. I am just playing to discover the million-gazillion ways to colour each bug and not concerned with how to design projects featuring them yet. Here's a tall slimline card, an A2 card and an ATC that l've created so far. To get inspired, you only have to look at the amazing designers that contribute to Tim's Chapter releases such as this year's Chapter 2 release.  To be honest, l was not bothered cutting so many parts for the different insects as l thought l might be....time flew by as l cut batches of the body 'base' and then spent most of my time inking, embossing, painting, etc the wings and body sections. There lies the fun!

Easter "Scallop Circle" Chick Card

Isn't this the cutest!  The second I laid eyes on the card which inspired me - I was OMG !  So I had to do one! IT'S A  EASY - QUICK 5 MIN. PROJECT!  GREAT KIDS PROJECT!  We made ours  after having breakfast  and  in no time flat! Technique: You can see from the pictures that you must fold your cardstock at the 5-1/2 mark, and CUT the Scallop Circle LEAVING A SMALL PART OF THE FOLD OVERHANGING THE CIRCLE OUTLINE - that is how you make a card - and not 2 Scallop Circles. A small scallop punch is cut into wedges - those make up the wings. Punch your other parts, fold the square on the diagonal for its beak, then glue everything on. We highlighted the eyes and beak - voila! Basic Supplies:  CARDSTOCK: 11x8 in. yellow, 1 in square orange scrap, black scrap; BIG SHOT XL BIGZ DIE: Scallop Circle; HAND PUNCHES:  flower, scallop circle (any size), small circle punch; Other:  1" square orange cardstock, white gel pen, glue.
