Paper Sweeties January 2018-Blast from the past favorites!


Playing along with the
Cupcake Inspirations Challenge


Hi, there!

Welcome to Paper Sweeties Blast from the past favorites day 2!  We don't have a new release this month, but we are highlighting winter favorites!  Today I am highlighting Madison ice skating having some outdoor winter fun!  Also, please scroll down to see my second post for Dies R Us.

And, here is my card today highlighting the sets (Madison, Let It Snow, and Somewhere over the Rainbow)...





For my card, I started with an aqua card base.  I colored the images with copics.  The ice skating pond was made using Sweet Cuts-Oval Scallop Frames.  I made a background using distress oxide broken china ink.  I covered the background with acrylic and applied stickles.  Red twine to finish the card.

And, speaking of ice skating, I had fun skating with my son and his friends a couple weeks ago.  I only fell twice...ouch!  I was very sore the next day.  I haven't ice skated in years, which has probably been about ten to fifteen years ago.  But, son is an excellent skater and gave me a few tips and picked me up when I fell.  My husband watched from the side since he has only skated about twice in his life.  He didn't want to give it a try that day.  Anyways, it was fun!  Now maybe I should try skiing once again...lol!  Here are just a couple pics of son and me...






Thanks so much for dropping by today!

Take care and stay warm!

Hugs,
Maria

    Maria your colouring is fabulous! I am so glad to hear that you gave skating a try again with your son. Very special! My daughter took my ice skates with her back to school this term.

    (I'm laughing...) I'm not too proud to use one of those plastic walker thingys when I skate! Super sweet pic of the two of you. Your card is adorable and I love that you incorporated the skating theme with your cute story. Thanks for this with us at Cupcake Inspirations! Wendy DT
