Memory Box Grand Gothic Window

Good morning & Brrrrr! We had our coldest night to date, and were thankful to have our heat back on after it was turned off by some fellas doing work in our attic yesterday. It's a cold day outside (low 40's - but very sunny). The window installers are finishing up the window job and should be done soon...they are doing the caulking, wrapping & sealing efforts.

A warm welcome to 2 new followers: Karen Petit(http://stampinginpink.blogspot.co.uk/) and Gibmis (http://colledgeangel.blogspot.com/)/. Please do take an opportunity to pay these lovely bloggers a visit and enjoy some talent. And thanks, ladies for joining me.

We had a gorgeous sunset on Tuesday evening. I was able to get a picture of it to share.

Aren't these colors absolutely stunning? It took our breath away to just stand on the deck and enjoy this display. As you can see, some of our neighbors' trees still have leaves, but are losing more day by day. Especially that night as there was a strong biting wind.

Here's today's card:

- Memory Box Grand Gothic Window cut from navy blue (darker than it photographed). Background is scrap paper from the airbrush table. This is paper from a large desk calendar that was placed on the desk to protect it from the sprays. (a snippet cut from a heavily sprayed bit of the scrap paper) I thought the colors were pretty, like a stained glass window. Probably should have ironed the paper before I adhered it to the window frame, as it is a bit wrinkled looking.

- Darice woodgrain EF inked with Memento Rich Cocoa and then lightly smoothed Hero Arts Wet Cement Shadow ink over the Memento just in places - not over the entire folder. Using the 2 colors gave a nice variation IRL on the wood texture. Loosely woven ribbon was a 50% item from Hobby Lobby.

- Penny Black die for the sentiment, which came from the same snippet as the window background.

Think I'll quickly dash over to Pixie's Crafty Snippet Playground, where it's week 98, loads of gorgeous cards to inspire and additionally a Wow prize too! Won't you join us?

It's going to be another busy busy here, but I hope to get back to the pc to do some visiting of those who have been here to browse around the last 2 days. Ya'll stay warm & cozy, and as always, thanks so much for popping in here. Hugs from me to you.
