I know, I know....Winter officially began a month ago, but it's finally looking and feeling like Winter here in the high desert of Nevada! I truly do love where we live...we get a bit of snow each winter, not-too-crazy-hot summers, and Springtime and Fall are my two favorites. Since, the snow is piling outside, I am cozied up inside with my family baking and crafting and playing.
My card uses Papertrey Ink's Cloche Quarters: Winter Fillers, Two Feet Deep, Beautiful Berries: Winter, and Winter Village stamp sets from Papertrey Ink. I stamped in Spring Rain, Soft Stone, Stormy Sea, Sweet Blush, and Pale Peony.
I used the Make it Market Mini Kit: Lovely Laurels. I used Stampendous Embossing Enamel to create my faux snow...it's my favorite, messy, stuff ever :).
Happy Winter from the farm! Tomorrow the snow will all be gone, I'm sure of it :).
I've got a bit of Spring Fever in my shop at Mountain Mercantile....I'm doing my best to hold off showing my new Easter goodies....they are soooooo entirely irresistible. But, for those of you who inquired about the shabby, aqua, vintage scale, it is now back in stock! $46.99 plus shipping....message me for details!
Thanks for your visit!

Another beautiful card - I don't know how you keep coming up with all your ideas!
On separate note, I love the scale - how much would it cost to send to Canada? Thank you. Sue

Hi Melissa.... As always, you never fail to create something that Wows! Your attention for detail is exceptional and you always showcase the stamp and die set perfectly in my opinion. Fantastic!
I would love to purchase the scale, send me the details on how to go about getting it mailed.
Thank you so much for your creativity, Heidi Gonzales

I love to see what you are creating! You have such a beautiful signature look to your designs.
Please send me information about the scale-so cute, reminds me of my grandfather!

Hi, OH my gosh! Love this. I contacted PTI customer service asking if there was a chart or video for their color families (I'm looking for color gradients for each color family). They referred me to the design team. I am hoping that one of you or corporate will see the need to do this.There are so many of us who can't tell which colors look best together when achieving a gradient look or want to use the layer stamps. Can you help? Thanks, Laura
