Let it snow in Miami?
A girl can dream! That would be SNOW wonderful! :)
Hello friends! Long time no blog :{
Life (with 4 active school kids) has taken over full force,
but in a good way! And I've kicked my exercise up a notch
and have added on 2 evenings so my oldest daughter can run with me
on her college nights off :)
Lucky me, I got my card done in time for the Calendar Girls monthly
card posting ~ this month, it was hostessed by Sweet P!
She gave us this theme to work with:
For the usually HOT and HUMID month of AUGUST, I would rather do something to get cooled off ...but what?
mmmm..I got it! We could make some SNOWballs....or even SNOWangels in the middle of summer, but how? ♥
Here's what I suggest :
Your challenge for this month is to create something with anything that begins with the word SNOW.
However, here's the catch: Your card should NOT reflect Christmas at all...
...but rather just images AND sentiment ( s ) that start with *SNOW*.
Once you blog your card, please also make sure to add what was your word choice
that your card reflects, and also WHY you selected THAT particular word...
Thank You and happy stamping .....Have FUN 'chilling out' on a hot summer day....♥

And here's the front of my card:
I colored Riley with the same colors pulled from the papers.
And you know I love me some buttons and ric-rac,
it's hard to create anything without either :)
it's hard to create anything without either :)
The dsp is from a Christmas collection from K & Co which I scored at Marshalls for $1.99 this summer - a 12 x 12 pad of wonderful holiday paper!
And then the inside ... another one of my fave things to do ~
I added a matching Funny Bones Riley and Company sentiment - hee hee!
And the word I chose to use .......... SNOWBALL!!
Be sure to stop on over and see what the other CG girls made using
the fun snow theme - you can find them in my sidebar!
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

What a "cool" sentiment for inside the card! I love the bright, cheery colors and the Riley image. Too cute! Great job on cranking up your exercise. I need to do that!

Kelly--your card scores big on the Snow Challenge! I have not seen that Riley image before and it sure is a cutie. And--the inside sentiment is a hoot and fits perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove the embellishments and the button for sure!
That IS the trouble with trouble!! What a fabulous sentiment, Kelly! So very perfect for snowball Riley! What an adorable card.
ReplyDeleteHey Kelly! Thanks for linking this up to the Holiday Cards Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable and I love the layout and papers. You always have some the greatest papers to put together. Snow is kind of a scarce thing in my part of Texas too. Once I made a white card that said on the front,
ReplyDelete"You want a white Christmas?"
Inside: "Tear up this card and throw it in the air."
Always glad to hear one is only busy with life! Great card and the sentiment is oh so true!
ReplyDeleteOMG- this is soooo cute- love Riley in the snowball!!! Hey- congrats on winning the Prima Doll hop over at the stop after Darlene's- maybe Mary??? Anyway- Wahoo!!!
ReplyDeleteKelly, this is way too cute. Love Riley in the snow and the papers are so bright and cheery. Love the mix of patterns you have going on
ReplyDeleteawww such a sweet dahlin Riley card!...love this image and it made me smile from ear to ear and the sentiment you chose is absolutely the cat's mewwww!!! *griinnn*LOVE IT!!!♥
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding for my CHNC challenge extra for August - hope to see more of your Christmas cards there soon - it's always 'anything goes' for the month as long as it's Christmas x
ReplyDeleteKelly, I love your Riley snowball. The background papers are so pretty. I'm going to be scoping out my Marshalls for some bargain paper too.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. This is an adorable image and fantastic DP. The sentiment on the inside is just perfect for the image.
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny silly happy card Kelly!
ReplyDeleteWith all that you are doing it is a wonder you have time for anything!
Snowing in Miami would be like snowing in Modanville --- the middle of an Ice Age!
