Hey Chickadee!

The weather has been pretty mild here in Iowa.  We have had one snow fall, which melted off the sidewalks and roads as soon as it fell.  We even had temps in the 70's a couple weeks ago. I am sure we will be getting our share of cold and snow, but if it could hold off a bit I won't complain.

This little chickadee does not seen to mind the cold. He has that nice little scarf to warm him and a bright star to shine on him (or her).


I use this Stamps Happen image every Christmas season.  You may recognize the artist, Carolyn Shores Wright.
The image was colored with Copics and the snow drops are Liquid Pearls. The red frame and card base were cut with Spellbinder's Reflective Moment.  And Spellbinder's Majestic Labels Twenty-Five was used to cut and frame the image.

I hope everyone is enjoying all holiday fun decorating, shopping and gatherings of family and friends.  We must also remember "Jesus is the reason for the season."

Oh, my word, color me happy to see your beautiful card today! A rare treat. And such a lovely image. Stamps Happen were some of the best, and not easy to find the good ones like this anymore. I adore bird stamps. This chickadee is so sweet. Your Copic coloring looks almost like watercoloring. So soft. Beautifully framed. Just WOW! I sure hope you'll find time to stamp some more, Gail.
