Hi friends!
Oh how I love snow!
It holds a magical, memorable place in my heart of growing up in Europe
and the adventures my brother and I had :)
I can still close my eyes and see it all ♥
We have a snowy mountain vacation planned for this Christmas
but with Covid19, it just might be on hold ...
Like most of us, plans are at a standstill until we know it's safe.
Onward to the next class at the #OCCSpringCardCamp card class ....
This one was taught by the talented Debby Hughes.
Yes!
Yes!
That Debby from Lime Doodle Design - she is so inspiring!
When I have that (rare) free moment, I love watching her YouTube videos ..
they are so relaxing and serene and her cards are so beautifully done.
Well ... I'm calling my cards today the Old College Try!
I tried. That's it.
LOL
For my 'stencil', I didn't have the one anywhere close to what I needed
to I did the next best thing and used a die cut.
I created the sentiments from a Lawn Fawn stamp set 'winter village'
and spritzed it when dry with a little hint of Ink on 3,
a gift from my friend Jeanette.
And done and done!
I'm SUPER excited for the next class set of cards ....
and hopefully I won't sit in the corner long for these two!
I adored the class and the watercoloring process ~ just not the result.
It looks a little like a fallen tree in the middle of a lake - LOL!

BUT!
I'm posting anyway because it's all about learning
~ love it or not ~
and finding that happy medium ♥
Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings!
