We're seeing "Spots & Dots" at Mo's!

Happy Thursday!! I'm back again with another post . . . gosh, after my several weeks' break, I've been busy, busy, busy catching up!! It's time for another new challenge over at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog!! And, this week, my sweet friend and fellow Design Teamie, Mau, is our hostess. And she'd like to see . . .

Spots & Dots!

Hehe! What a fun challenge theme, huh? OK, so, here's the deal . . . I had every intention of posting a new Valentine's Day card today except that last night we had SNOW once again! And, I gotta tell ya, for a Minnesota girl like me, snowfalls in Richmond, VA are pretty fun . . . and funny!! Everything closes down when it even LOOKS like there might be snow here! Here's a photo of the snow - shot from my studio window!
Pretty, isn't it? I think we maybe got 2-3 inches!! Soooooo . . . since I've been thinking a lot about snow, I decided to hold off on the Valentine's Day card and create something with snow!! What'cha think?
This darling Mo Manning image is called "Taste of Winter". . . . and is available HERE in Mo's online store. Have you ever caught snowflakes on your tongue? I have!! Here's a close-up . . . 
 This week I decided to make a "Crossover" card! These are always such fun to make . . . and so simple too!


My Card "Recipe" . . .

Chocolate Chip & Sky Blue cardstock: Stampin' Up

OK . . . now it's your turn . . . but before you get craftin', first you'll want to head on over to Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog to check out the fabulous projects created by Mau and the rest of my talented DT sisters! Then, please join us in this week's "Spots & Dots" challenge. It's easy . . . just pull out your craft supplies and at least one Mo Manning image and start creating!!

And that's it for me! Maybe I'll go play in the snow . . . or shovel the sidewalk!! Thanks for stopping by . . . and, as always, for your kind comments. Stay warm!!

Let's "Chill" at Mo's . . . Brrrrrrr!

Hello there, my sweet friends!! Can you believe . . . I saw SNOW FLURRIES when I was in Arizona?! It's true! My eldest son was married last Saturday in Sedona, AZ (it's sort of in the mountains) and we had snow flurries!! The grandkids had never seen snow FALL from the sky! And, let me say, they were delighted!! So . . . I decided it might be fun to use one of Mo's new winter images for this week's challenge at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog where the theme is . . .
"Let's Chill"
And here's what I came up with . . .
This cutie is called "Taste of Winter" and can be found HERE in Mo Manning's online store. I decided to make a combination card/tag/ornament!! Here's a close-up . . .
