Today's card was inspired by Lisa (LisaADD) on Splitcoast Stampers. I have had this chickadee on my shelf uninked and Lisa's card gave me the nudge I needed to Christmas up this chickadee~I made a lovely loopy bow to add in the corner, and colored some pearls with a red copic marker to add as little berries!
Well, everyone is gone this weekend doing their own thing. My youngest daughter is on an airplane right now from New York City to Boston. She called me from the plane saying she may not make the connecting flight and I could hear the pilot saying over the speaker that it was going to be "bumpy and miserable" flight. My husband is driving through snow covered passes and will stop in Denver and then meet her at the airport. Those connections are tricky, so I hope he doesn't have a late night of it. Our older daughter went for a weekend skiing for girls in Vail and will be driving back today. So this mama chickadee is in her nest, trying not to fret and staying busy doing a little "feathering of the nest" today!
well, gf...I can tell you that as someone who lives between New York and Boston...it is a a miserable day......was slippery this morn and now is POURING....buckets worth of rain....so....don't be surprised at delays....wishing her a safe flight home....
ReplyDeleteso what is this about snow...I thought Cindy said you hadn't had much snow.....or is your DH traveling from Steampboat where I am sure there is snow.....

Simply lovely card, thanks for sharing. Hoping you enjoyed your day and didn't fret too much (easier said than done, I know!)
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing.. I LOVE the read and black. My favorite color combos.. Your chickadee is so pretty.. I love the music on your blog. It reminds me of my childhood. We have ice here in NC.. Hope everyone gets home safely. I fret about my girls too in bad weather..

That is gorgeous! And what a great pairing of that sentiment with the image, the delicate use of color. It looks great. And I will pray for safe arrivals.
ReplyDeleteTraci,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful chickadee Christmas card. I hope everyone made it home safe.
Hope everyone is safe and soound now. I hear the weather is foul over there. Love the pretty card. The simple stamping with the bright red berries are great.
ReplyDeleteThis card is perfect! Loving the CAS look!
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Traci! Thanks for visiting my blog. Regarding your comment about the cupcakes in a jar...yes, they do keep 7 days. The frosting and the airtight container extend the shelf life. Try it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this card, Traci. The simplicity highlights the beauty of the stamp and your sweet embellishments. It is fantastic.
