Wintry Card and A Special Request for Charlie

Good morning my crafting friends. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. I was very busy, as my husband and I were re-doing my craft room. What better to go with a craft room make over, than a blog makeover. I always like to change things up and "refresh" so to speak when the new year rolls around. Kristal, from K Andrew Designs has been busy designing my blog over the past week or so. What do you think? I am loving it. Before she re-designed it I had some major issues with editing, uploading pictures, and videos, and various others issues. Everything is running smoothly now! If you are liking it, and are interested in a blog make over you can visit her here. Thank you Kristal for my new fab blog:)

So here in NY we are buried in snow, and it is sooo cold outside! Since Christmas day we have been hit with two big snow storms, and more is expected tonight. My daughter is loving it all, and she went sleigh riding for the first time last week. She did not like it much, but really enjoyed throwing snowballs at our Lab, and making Snow Angels. With all this snow I had to make a wintry card

I just love this little Snow Angel from Winter Frolic, and the Peachy Keen stamp just makes her cuteness irresistible. I cut out each piece numerous times so she has lots of layers. I also cut her body apart and did a little bit of paper piercing to add some extra dimension. Lots of doodling, chalking, and coloring...wala, a fun wintry card:)

Now onto some more serious business. Yesterday, I was browsing around and came across Angela's blog. She has a post about a little boy named Charlie. Charlie has a disease called Epidermolysis Boullosa, which causes his skin to break out in very painful blisters. Angela is asking that we crafters all come together and send Charlie some cards to cheer him up. I know it will bring a smile to this little boy and be so appreciated by his parents.  I have had the chance to go and read some of his story, and all I can say is that he sure is brave. Please visit Angela's blog here for more information about Charlie, and a link to his personal journal.  I am going to get busy and make this brave little boy a card, along with some fun little goodies. All cards can be mailed to:
