Stamping Sisters in Christ Challenge 122, Free 1/2 heart Embellishment and some Ice Pictures

 

I’ve been making loads of cards – I just find no time to blog them.  So I’m parking myself here at the computer with a nice hot cup of decaf Earl Grey and won’t budge until I have got this down here. 

I’ll start with just a trio of ice pictures.  We have had an extremely mild winter and my fear was it would not get cold enough for me to take pictures of the ice.  I know the wineries also count on a good cold snap to harvest grapes for ice wine too.  So we are both happy today I think because the temperatures dipped down nicely yesterday.  As soon as the sun came up I was out the door murfled up in layers upon layers of warm clothing and with a heated bean bag (thanks Neti, I use these for heating our toes in bed each night and also for this and for keeping my pot of tea piping hot too… oh and raising bread and… )  anyways, I put the heated bean bag inside of a belly bag and my camera nestles within this and it allows me to keep it at a temperature that avoids the lens fogging up. 

No matter how warm I dress I still come home all nippy because its impossible to use the camera effectively without exposing my fingers and my legs become frozen because I lay down on the ice a lot.  Its worth it.  Here are a few photos from yesterday – I’ll post more over the coming posts.

 

Squares and Spikes

LOVE-ly Ice (see the heart shapes?)

So much texture!

Looks like a little scrubber

Looks like “icing” on the rocks.

 

So stay tuned for more ice photos over the coming days – along with more cards.
