Fun on ICE...

 

 First of all, you are not going crazy, the card that I linked is not the same as the one above.   The more I looked at the red sentiment the less I like it, so I did the sentiment in blue and used a cloud die.  So this is alow laying cloud just at the tree line but it works for me.  My mind had much on it when I started putting my card together during the night.  I had been looking at create a smile sketch for a few days and was planning to use some dies I have to give the look, but when I saw this background paper it just seemed to work so well, too bad I missed the link cut off.    I took liberties with the sketch, but it was defintely my inspiration and also the challenge photo at Just Us Girls served as inspiration.    Yesterday was my Multiple Myeloma infusion treatment day and I get steroids as part of the treatment, so I didn't even go to bed last night, because I always have so much drive going.   I take steroids every Tuesday, but only get the infusion every 4th Tuesday.    Anyway,  I found this cute set on Etsy and with so many elements I felt it would be something I could use every winter and for $3.00 it was a good deal,  so it is now part of my growing digital collection that I store on a flash drive to free my computer.  I work in Word when I use my digital papers and clip art digis..   I created the background and then printed the kids separately and fussy cut them.   I wanted to do a winter scene and the Olympics are on my mind, because I have a niece and her family who live near Bejing and it has been tough because of strict Covid Mandates, thankfully they are doing well.   These kids may just be practicing to be future ice skating Olympians.  Because of all that is going in my country and around the world, I really want to do more fun cards this year.  All of the challenges and the Etsy Digital set is listed below, I  wanted to try and make access easy,  but getting it all to stay put was like herding cats.  I think it's fixed, but I may not do it this way again..   I always appreciate comments and thanks so much for taking the time to stop by.   Blessings to one and all,  Kathy
