Snow skiing...did I ever tell you the story about...

I went snow skiing. Once. I went to Powder Ridge Ski Resort in Connecticut in January 1974 and broke my left tibia and fibula in a spiral fracture my first time down the mountain as soon as I got off the ski lift. No lie, and I've got one leg 1/2" shorter than the other due to that injury. Yep, so when I think of snow skiing I think of sitting in a lodge in front of a fireplace with a drink in one hand looking cute in neat looking boots with fur inside them, a cute sweater and black legging pants and watching the flames flicker. But when I saw this very cute Sassy Cheryl image, I couldn't resist him so he's my card for this month at Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge Blog where today is my Tuesday to post my creation! And no, I don't ever imagine it's me flying down the mountain.



I had fun making this cared and using white paint, glitter and my new winter tree and branch die cuts. I colored my image with Copics.
And my bow is like icing on the cake. This ribbon was the perfect color to use for this card and using my bow tool guaranteed me a perfect bow. I made a double loop bow and it was so easy to do and is an awesome embellishment for this card!

  1. Yowch -- hope you garnered a ton of sympathy after your mishap !! Your memory probably takes you back to that day when you sit in front of a fireplace even now, years later. This cute little skier seems to have the knack down, though. Great color combo, and all your embellishments are darling. Sweet addition to your trees and branches with the added snow, not to mention the darling bow and coordinating tree background paper. A most chilly winter card, but it warms the heart, especially with a mug of hot chocolate in hand!! Happy winter . . .
