Frozen Friday

Well it has sure been a 'frozen Friday' in my part of the world. -0 temps this morning, with a high today of 19! That is cold. I have been recovering from a 72 hour bug of some sort (being a nurse, I have diagnosed and treated myself , as we nurses tend to do.) Plenty of fluids and hours upon hours of sleep. I am feeling much better today, and even joined a couple of my church friends for a horror movie this evening. Hmmm, now I remember why I hadn't been to a scary movie in 25 years. I don't enjoy being scared! But, I did enjoy the popcorn.

I made these projects earlier today. The card is Best Occasions Cardstock, K&Co Stickers, generic button and ribbon. I did try faux stitching on this card and I like it. I do need some
practice, but I think I will use it again.

I covered a round of chipboard to elevate the center and followed a good tip that I picked up somewhere in all of my blogging. I used a fingernail emory board to smooth the edges of my cardstock covering the chipboard. It really worked and gave it a smooth yet worn look.

I rarely color anything....but I found a great set of General's Watercolor Pencils, so I needed a project to try them out. I stamped this sweet little guy then penciled in the areas of color, before dampening a small detail brush and pulling the colors into their finished state. I mounted him on a small valentine card/bookmark. I loved the paint process and can't wait to use it again.

Hope your weekend is great and filled with "crafty moments."
