it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Bundle Up!" which just means that she wants to see those projects that have clothing to brave the winter weather like toques, mittens, heavy coats etc.
Our weather here in midwestern Ontario has been all over the place this winter. We had enough snow at the beginning of January for my kids to snowmobile though it was bitterly cold, in the -20s. (And remember, this is Canada we're talking about so all temps are in Celsius.) Then it warmed up and rained, and now we've got just a dusting of the white stuff. Temps have been bouncing all over the place too....Sunday it was up to 7ºC and today it's -12º, feels like -19º. All that so I can set up how fitting my card is....
...coz if we're gonna have winter temperatures, we might as well have snow.
I swear my photo didn't look that drab earlier. Oh well, there's no coloured image so I don't think a retake is necessary. I'm going to make more of a effort to get brighter photos for my makes....it's just that, as you all know, with less daylight hours, photo taking time is pretty limited. Tried a homemade lightbox awhile back but found it to be too much effort....and my cat stuck her paw through the tissue paper on the one side (which my kids thought was hilarious) so that ended that. (You know, because putting on new piece of tissue paper was just waaaaaay too difficult.)
Why not give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.

This is such a cute card!! I love the colors
ReplyDeleteI so fell in love with this lovely Designpaper, Janice and the layout and all the little accents - love the glove cuffs (don´t know if it´s the right word ?! i mean the ribbon on the gloves **smile**) Just Great.
