So, I was growling about the beautiful snow getting rained on, but it snowed again so we actually had snow for Christmas. In fact, it snowed Christmas Eve, and it was the most beautiful night for a walk. It was Christmas card snow if you know what I mean. We woke up to the backyard looking like a winter wonderland. Spectacular! I tried to make a blog header like Shirley's ( Paper Creations by Shirley), but I think I stretched the photo a bit much. It was my first attempt at doing anything with the header and I had a hard time as I'm not computer savvy. It still needs work.
The new IO challenge is Quick and Simple cards. It has taken me to almost the deadline to come up with anything. Quick and Simple is anything but for me! It turns out that I'll actually have two posts, the card I just did, and the quick little gift tags I did for my DH's Xmas presents, that I just remembered all done with all Impression Obsession products. YAY !
The snow looks kind of beige in the picture, but is actually iridescent white paint that I just slapped on. The sky is watercolour pencil and water. The trees are a new IO purchase from their awesome sale, Wide tree (D1296) and Small wide tree(B1297). I also used the CAC Splatter stamp(CC059) to add more snow. The deer are from IO's Small Deer die set (DIE117-C). Simple tags, made faster by the fact I love the deer so much, that I have a bunch of them pre-cut and ready to go!
Here's the link to the challenge :

Great tags! I love how you added snow with the splatter stamp, I hadn't thought of doing that! :) Glad you had your snowy Christmas. We did not have any snow in Maryland, USA but that was okay because I had to drive back home that day, my little kitties would have been very hungry had I gotten stuck in snow. Happy New Year!
