We had our first snow in Iowa this week ... it was blustery and blowing, but it was clearly white stuff falling from the sky.
I personally love having all four seasons, and enjoy each one equally (okay maybe not equally ... Autumn is the front runner in my book), but I do love the beautiful clean white landscape after new fallen snow.
I used lots of Eyelet Outlet brads to create my fun snowy scene.
I started by die cutting various snow drifts from white cardstock then added lots of the new beuatiful Pine Tree Brads to create my landscape and some Snowflake Brads (in two sizes) to the clear blue sky.
The new Sled Brads (which come in two colors) were perfect for my penguins who are bundled-up for the wintry conditions. There is even a white bear brad waiting for his turn on the sled.
There are a few Prancing Deer Brads who tend to run out in front of your car this time of year, especially on the tree-lined roads, so you always have to be on alert.
Finally there is a new Red Truck Brad taking home his holiday tree (that like our holiday tree growing-up always seemed to be a bit too big for the space when we got home).
The finishing touch was a sentiment from Joy Clair Stamps Snow Fall stamped with my MISTI in pine tree green. Normally, I would have had to stamp my sentiment first, since the backs of the brads can make the panel bumpy ... but with my MISTI, I could wait until I finished my scene to decide on sentiment placement.
And TaDa! ... perfect sentiment every time.
