I was tired last night and so I thought go to bed early, get up early! Noooooo problem. Um, yeah. Total state of denial. Once upon a time I might have gone the way of my father, for whom the crack of dawn is an actual sound... but after nearly four decades, I am clearly my mother's daughter when it comes to sleeping patterns. At least one of my older brothers is the same way. 2 a.m. is prime time. Our brains are hopping, our energy is up and... the rest of the world is dead asleep. Sigh. My brother did the smart thing long ago and moved to NYC, the infamous city that never sleeps. I, however, live in a small town where they roll up the sidewalks at dark. These days supermarkets and Wal-Mart stay open 24 hours while they stock shelves, but it's not like those are really happening places to hang out. Thank goodness for the internet. So getting up in the morning makes no sense to my biological clock. None whatsoever. And I still haven't recovered from the time change when they stole my hour! Even having gone to bed early, I slept through all the early alarms. The last alarm finally managed to wake me and I had no time to spare. Made it to work on time though! LOL Anyway... on to the challenge...
First up, our challenge has moved! The new address is http://papercraftbliss.com/thejourney! Check out the fresh green color and the funky font Lisa has used on the new site. =) And don't forget to follow using either Linky Followers or RSS feed to your Google Reader or other feed manager!
This fortnight our challenge is any paper craft using 3 or more patterned papers! Our sponsor is Robyn's Fetish and they are generously offering our winner FIVE digital stamp images!
I worked on a few different projects, but none of them were really coming together the way I wanted. I was a bit frustrated until I realized what the problem was... I miss glittery snowflakes! There, I said it. We had a blah winter with no snow, no snowmen, no happy days stuck inside during a mini-blizzard drinking hot cocoa and snuggled down with friends and family or at least the fur-kids watching movies, safe and warm at home. And I miss the fun of pre-Christmas crafting with all those glittered snowflakes everywhere. So... here is my first winter/Christmas card for 2012! LOL
I kept it super simple. The papers are all DCWV Winter Stack. I used a lovely die cut set from Clear Dollar Stamps and layered my snowflake with foam dots over it. The snowflakes are Martha Stewart punches, liberally coated with Stardust and Waterfall Stickles and the gems are Recollections. 
Very simple, but very satisfying. And I love blue. It's the color of happy skies and cool waters. My other teamies were much more focused this week and they have some really colorful inspiration for you. I particularly love Lisa W's creation this week. Such a great scene made out of patterned papers! You can check them all out at the new site here. Then get busy crafting and show us what you've got! =)
See you soon - happy crafting!
