Cindy's Antics! Stamping, Scrapping, Crocheting, Family!!!

     I guess I was in one of my "Purple Moods"...   I love purple!! This is a new Gina K stamp, "Friends are Forever".  I used multiple pieces of Lovely Lilac Designer paper & cardstock, Gina K white cardstock. Nesties Labels Two, SU Oval & Scallop Oval punch, Pierced holes in the scallop oval. I colored with Prismacolor Pencils, shaded with Pebbles Chalk, added some stick-on bling!! Hope you like it!!  Now lets see what kind of color mood I'm in next!! I made this card several days ago..  I haven't been able to get in the mood for a few days. Have some things happening in my personal life right now.

Hi everyone!! Welcome to Cindy's Antics! So glad you could stop by! You're at the beginning of the Design D.I.V.A.S. 2nd ever blog hop!!!  We are a special private group formed on Facebook to help us connect with one another, share our common interests in our papercrafting lives and best of all….have some fun!     Our Title Acronym stands for: Divine, Inspirational, Virtuous, Artistic (or annointed) sistahs!    Our group originated at SCS back over 2 yrs ago and has recently branched out to the new FB group.     We decided to get things kicked off right, we would have a blog hop as suggested by the lovely Melissa Cash. It features items that we’ve had “stashed”. An “oldie but, goodie” that we’ve pulled out and blown the dust off of to create something with it.     So please join us as we journey along the way to discover some hidden treasures we’ve had tucked away that we’ve designed just for this special occasion wit...

Our Secret Sister Challenge this week was to make a "vintage" looking card.  Don't think I've ever done Vintage before, so this is my first try. The Stamp is SU -  "A Kind Word."  I used Porcelain Prints DP, Very Vanilla and Gina K cardstock. I roughed up the edges and tore the paper, as you can see. I colored with my Prismacolor markers, shaded with Pebbles Chalk. Added some Primas, brads, and Blue Bayou ribbon. I'm really not too happy with the card overall. I do like the image, she is very cute.  Here is a close up . I will have to practice more for the "Vintage look". Hope you enjoyed looking!!     I had a very busy day today, visiting the CPA to get my taxes done, got a haircut, shopped at the Dollar Tree for donations for work. We are collecting personal care items for our Homeless Veterans here in Madison, and parts of the state where we have outpatient clinics.  Our department has collected over 130 lbs so far. We have until...

So, it doesn't look like a whole lot of snow, but I think we got around 18". The terrible thing was the wind, up to 30mph, leaving huge drifts everywhere!!  I was not able to go to work today, as the driveway wasn't cleared. The weatherman was telling everyone to stay home and off the roads.  The plows weren't plowing, they were rescuing stuck people!!  My maintenance guy said the snow on the street went up to the headlights on his truck.  He came over, because my heat was out!!   As you can see, it is a little chilly.(53 degrees)   Heat finally came back on at 5:45pm. Luckily I have a gas fireplace, as that kept me warm.   I did make a card today, I think it fits perfectly!! You can't really see the sparkle of the snow. Paper is Gina K white, SU Black. White ink, silver and blue stickles, snowflake brads, and a piece of ribbon. Hope you like it!!
