Time Out #280 - Inspired By

It's the Inspired By challenge at Time Out and this is your inspiration:

Your favorite thing to do in January.  Now that's a hard one.  I mean I like to do a lot of things but do I have any stamps or dies that will tell that story?  I ended up going back to the good old younger days for my idea.

My husband and I used to go cross country skiing so I pulled out an old set from PTI, made some skis and planted them in a snow drift made with a fabric embossing folder and a SSS die.  The background is Softly Falling from SU and the sentiment is from the PTI set.   

I hope you have a favorite thing to do that you can share with us on a card.  For inspiration, please check out the Design Team's cards.

The Card Concept #194 and NBUS #50

I was honored with a win at The Card Concept with this card.  I always try to play in the next challenge when I have a win or honorable mention so I have a clean and layered card for challenge #194 "Spring Bouquet".

I recently got the bird's next from Honey Bee Stamps and when I saw the nest in the challenge photo I knew it was time to use it.  It was cut from dark brown and kraft and splattered with Distress Spray and white gouache.  The little eggs were colored with what else but Speckled Egg DI.  The dogwood is also from Honey Bee, colored with a combination of Zigs and Spun Suger DI.  It's all on Soft Stone that has been embossed with a fabric folder. 

The nest is new so I'm sending my card to NBUS. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I love reading your comments.
