Friendship Warms the Heart


Hi Friends!

Happy New Year!  I certainly hope this year brings
good health, joy, and peace into your life.  Another
year already, which seems to me unbelievable.  The
last one flew by too quickly.  But, on to new joys
and new experiences that is what life is all about.
I have a niece who is expecting in May.  She is
to have an ultrasound this month to find out if it's
a boy or girl.  So, the whole family is anticipating
that great joy that will be coming this year!

Today I want to share with you my card for Paper
Sweeties Sketch Inspiration #3.  I am honored that I
was asked to be the guest designer this month for
Paper Sweeties! 

Here is the sketch we are to follow for this month...



The adorable snowman's hat and scarf was paper
pieced.  I added tiny red gems to his round belly
and holly on the hat.  The scalloped circle behind
him was embossed and glittered.  The edges were
sewn and distress ink was added.  Yummy seam
binding from Paper Sweeties.  Doesn't that sentiment
warm your heart?  It is just too SWEET!  So, please join
us for the challenge this month and check out the
design team's creations.  You will find lots of
inspiration!  Thanks for visiting here today.  Take
care and Happy New Year!
