Hello my friends!! Happy Friday to you!
I can't tell you enough how thankful I am to have the warm welcomes that everyone has been sending me lately! 
It means so much to me! I have really enjoyed blurfing around to see what you've all been up to! It's also felt really nice to polish the dust off my crafting things and play!
As you might know how much I love playing with my beloved House Mouse Stamps and the sweet America has agreed to have me be apart of the House Mouse & Friends Challenge team as a floating member! So be sure to check it out as you never know when I'll be popping in! *Don't forget about the awesome blog hop going on now over there as well!* Lots of scrummy prizes and inspiration!
If you haven't played with any of your crafty goodies for a couple of months, it's kind of difficult to find the things you either thought you had...and to also find things that you didn't know you had!! LOL! Then I think I'm unsure about my abilities that I once had and ask myself if my style has changed or is the same...or....well, if you can imagine NOT playing with your crafty things for a couple of months to begin with!! WOW!!! As you may know, I'm also a beloved fan of the Belles n' Whistles Stamps, and I'm so THRILLED that Summer was willing to have me back as a team member! Yay!! I'm so happy to be back crafting these cuties!!
so I thought I'd give the challenge going on over at the Belles n' Whistles Challenge blog a go:
I think I really like this color combo I've used for the wintry theme! I've used this really fun snowball maker image from Belles n' Whistles called Snowball Snowbaby...isn't she sweet?
I got to color again with my Copics! Yay! I've added some Flower Soft on the bottom of the oval so as if she's standing on the snow. I've added some sparkle to her packed snowball and the snowflakes in the background too.
I've used some more flowers and and snowflakes from my Wild Orchid Crafts stash. I've lightly sprayed the flowers and green seam binding. The sentiment is an older Whimsy Stamps sentiment that I had in my stash too. Hope you like my wintry fun creation!
Here are some challenges I'd like to enter this for:
Belles n' Whistles - Frosty creations
Stamp with Fun - Sketch
Stamptacular Sunday - diamonds or pearls (Diamonds because they sparkle baby!)
So that's all for me know folks! My step-son is getting ready to leave for military bootcamp for six months and he'll be visiting with us tonight before he leaves. We also have my son's basketball game to go to tomorrow, so we'll be busy this weekend, but I just know I'll get into my crafty room before Monday and I'll be back with something then for ya!! Hope you all have a funtabulous weekend no matter what you're up to!! BIGGEST HUGS

Oh Vicki, what a beautiful card. The colors are so soft and pretty, the image adorable. Your coloring certainly has not suffered. When I needed to take time off, my Copics were the one thing that scared me!
What is the purpose of using Seam binding? I had no idea it came in a spray.
This little girl is so sweet! I love her rosy cheeks and the snow at her feet! Beautiful papers and snowflakes!
Hi Vicki it is wonderful to see your beautiful work again, I am truly glad that you decided to come back. This is gorgeous that image is so cute and I love the softness of the colours you have used for her, the flowers and design look fantastic.
