Spring wishes...

Since we are closed to snowed in....not really but it feels like it.  This was my deck the other day....


I have had some extra crafty time and got to make this....

This flower is from the SSS January Kit set, Like your Style.  I heat embossed and then distress ink'd them all up.  I layered them with some green leaves.  I was going for bright springy colors, because lets face it....I want spring.  Like yesterday.

We have had some serious snow fun though!  Lots of snow ice cream....


ETA: Yep!  Snow Ice cream!  2 cups milk, 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 tbsp Vanilla all mixed in a big bowl and then add snow until you get the right consistency!  Yummy!!  (You can also use Condensed milk) :)

Yum!

Lots of red faces and red noses...


The kids already had Thursday and Friday off, but the rest of the state had snow days!  The forecast is saying we are in for a bunch more, so we have the fire place going and we are ready for the possibility of yet another snow day.  I am kinda hoping they are wrong...which happens a lot! :)  

I hope you have a fantastic week!  Stay warm, or cool wherever you are!

  2. Your card is so beautiful Laurie and I am so totally pinning it too. Please excuse my ignorance but what is 'snow ice cream'... is it made with snow and do you really eat it, because I'm a gelati fan myself lol.

  3. No wonder you were wishing for Spring with that outside your door! We had a tiny tiny bit of snow here yesterday but it was pathetic really!

    Love this card, especially the graduated colour of the blooms. Definitely makes me think of Spring!

  17. Love the fresh, springy colors against the kraft background! Great layout really puts the focus on those pretty flowers.

    My kids had Thursday and Friday off too (for parent/teacher conferences) and then we got plenty of snow too so all the other districts in our city had a snow day.

  19. A perfect sweet spring card, Laurie! And thank you for the memory of that unique taste of snow ice cream. (I grew up next door in Iowa.) Oh, my goodness, it's decades since I had it, but I can "taste" it right now!!
