Wow - what a great inspiration site today. I felt so inspired. About the time I started to make my card, my crafting buddy, Lewis, woke up (my 3 year old Grandson). He wanted to paint so I showed him the cotton plaid stocking on this hidden gems page at Joss and Main (I couldn't figure out how to make it come up itself):
and told him to paint it using some nice lines and some water color. He made me an awesome plaid bg. As he continued the paint, the lines got a bit squiggly but I cut the best parts out and used them for this card. We splattered on some white paint to make it look more festive.
I made a great little pine bough grouping with Lewis' help as well. It was all cut out of kraft paper that Lewis painted green for me and then I painted on some thick red on the berries. We found some old berries in my stash and used them to finish off the greens. Next came the splatter of Snowtex and we were done.
Fun morning - thanks for the inspiration!

Oh, what fun you had with Lewis today and I love the card. The bough and all the snow is super. Love the plaid. Tell Lewis he is a master at helping create beautiful cards.

Oh, sweet Nancy! What an amazing grandma you are! I loved reading about the whole process and how you and Lewis made this card together. What a sweetie he must be and how beautiful the card turned out. I saw the plaid stocking that inspired you and Lewis. So all that fun, and then it "snowed!" I love it and love you, precious friend! Tender hugs and love! xoxo
