Crazy Little Charlie Horse

Charlie Horse is at it again! He loves to play in the snow as much as any child.  We always hope for, at least, one little snow each year here in South Carolina.  The Snow Globe Gala, Charlie Snowhorse and Winter Wishes scene are all from Doodle Pantry.  I was inspired by several gals from the Doodle Pantry team...not quite casing them but pretty darn close.  Theirs were wonderful! Still a little time to join in on our Doodle Pantry #53 challenge.

Meantime, it's in the wee hours of the morning and I have 2 Boston Butts on my smoker grill while the men are still fast asleep in the house.  Okay...the doggies are up with me!  We will pick and eat one as soon as it comes off the smoker. The other will be packaged and divvy up for friends.  I'll try to post a pic later as the butts starts turning a rich, dark brown.

A2 size, glitter on the puffy snow, merged Charlie Horse into the winter scene and cut out an extra of him and the top to give it lots of dimension.  Cut globe and Charlie Horse using my Silhouette.

side view, cut out plain white paper to fit inside to write my letter and sentiment.  I can't decide it I will add sentiment on the outside.

       My husband started another project for me, but it being cold outside, I watch from afar.  Every project has it's challenges and this one is no exception.  Since our house faces the north, the steps stay slippery and icy during the cold season.  He's putting up railings so I don't bust my little "tuss" or my friends in England would say "bumm"!  Isn't he a dear? He wants to make sure I don't fall so I don't have the chance to say I can't cook...haha... but isn't he a dear!

        The beautiful poinsettias on the cards are from Svgcuts called 3D Wintergreen Flowers.  You are truly missing out if you haven't visited this site and bought some of their awesome sets.  Wow  Wow Wow!!!

        I made 8 cards with 4 different backgrounds.   I will do one more for a "non-traditional Christmas colors" challenge for Crafty Ann's.  The image is from Crafty Ann's, a new site I enjoy. You can buy the images colored or black and white.   The image is incased in a snow globe hanger but I couldn't fit onto an A2 card since I was wanting to keep the image a 3" circle so I had to design my own.  

If you choose to download the snow globe hanger, you will have to narrow it a slight bit when you take it into SCAL or MTC to fit an A2 size card. You can also put extra colored paper behind the slits in the stand for contrast.  This will be available for 3 days.
