Look what’s happening at my house this morning! SNOW – Lots of SNOW! 
From the time I took this picture, got it uploaded and fixed, it has snowed more and more! They have forecasted 8-12 for this area. Hmmmm, it is the Ohio Valley and you can never really tell! Anyhoo, get this picture,
Miss Ellie loves playing in the snow. She slid half way across the deck – too funny!
Now, as much as I have begged for snow, pleaded for snow, want snow, NOT today. I need to drive close to two hours away on a good day, to pick Mallory up. She’s on Spring Break next week, leaving tomorrow – maybe, for somewhere sunny and warm! 
Lucky college kids!
I’m gonna play the proud mom a bit this morning. Our oldest, Kate, was inducted into the Mu Psi Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, International Honor Society in Education, last night! Needless to say, most of the family was there to celebrate such an honor with her. After the Induction Ceremony (where I couldn’t get a good picture if my life depended on it), there was a scrumptious banquet. Here are Kate and her other half, Will. Will graduates this May and is hoping to land a football coaching/teaching position. He has been coaching High School Football for his alma mater for three years now. Kate has another year, which one semester will be spent student teaching. Both of these kids work (close to full time) and carry heavy schedules. We are very PROUD of them!
Here’s Kate with her Aunt Carrie (my sister). Carrie checks in here every day – so Carrie this one’s for you!
Before I hit the road to pick up Mallory, I wanted to get to the SCS Limited Supply Challenge. I am so mad at myself over this card – I really screwed it up with the sentiment, and I honestly didn’t have the time to fix it today. BUT, I will!
The challenge today is a small card. Cards smaller than 4.25×4.25. Love making little cards, and I’ve had this idea for a few days and needed to try it. Gina K pointed out the other day that she had actually used Copic Markers on her stamps. Leave it Gina to figure that one out – or have the guts to try it! Of course, if she messes up her stamp, she does have plenty on hand.
Using the wildflower from Lizzie Anne’s In the Meadow, I colored directly on the stamp with Copic Markers, misted with Rubbing Alcohol and then stamped the image three times. I then got this wild hair that I wanted some type of background, so I found a square Nestability that fit the image, and using my Copic Airbrush System, I airbrushed the background with Cool Shadow. It left a perfect edge along the frame! Since, I had all the Nestabilities out, I went ahead and cut a scalloped edged square for my background layer. Now, here’s where I am mad at myself! I wanted a sentiment on the image, something light that wouldn’t take away from the image. I chose Old Paper Distress Ink for this, and I’ll be darned if it’s not crooked and too light – Live and Learn! The background for the card, which is 4×4 by the way, is made from scraps of BasicGrey Scarlett’s Letter. I distressed the edges and then sewed them to the card front on the sewing machine. The white dots were made with the new Inkssentials White Opaque Pen which should be available to purchase sometime soon. I’ll have to check on that!

S N O W?????? We don’t have that in Texas; we get Ice! Try driving on that! I loved the photo you shared, the snow looks lovely and I hope it doesn’t cause you any problems going to get the Kiddo. I am so proud for you; you’ve done such a good job raising your girls; Congratulations Girlie!
I do have one question to ask for clarification in your discription: When you say, “spritzed with rubbing alcahol”, do you mean the stamp after coloring it with Copics or do you mean spraying the Card Stock? I want to try this technique. By the way, thanks for giving us such good instructions on your site, I appreciate it very much.
Wow, even your “screw ups” turn out beautiful. I love following your blog. You are a hoot. We got about 5″ of snow here in Fort Worth, Texas yesterday. I said “snow” not sleet. It never snows here, just gets icy and nasty.
The pictures are beautiful. Congratulations on your hard working daughter. Keep posting beautiful stuff!!
Your daughter Kate has a beautiful smile 🙂 You should be proud of the girls, especially since they left home and gave you space for your **Rubber Room** ha!
I can’t get enuf of your Lizzie Anne Designs, which means me and Mr. Visa need to do some shopping.
OHH and do you want to talk about snow? C’mon over to Toronto and see what we are in the midst of right now ~ estimate of 20+ cm’s of snow, and we just had a storm this past Monday that left another pile of stuff. Arrgggh! Glad the clock goes forward tomorrow, ’cause then I’ll have more daylight to be able to sit and admire all this amazing snow!!! NOT!!!!!
Have a safe trip Sherry :0)
Sherrie its Friday night now so I’m hoping you had a safe journey in all that snow. Beautiful pictures of the “kids”. This includes Miss Ellie as I’m sure she believes she is your favorite. Oh yes and I love your card. Love this stamping technique.
I am just north of Indianapolis and we did not get the snow we expected, just a flurrying bit. I am so glad we did not get dumped on. I am going to stay in and clean my stamp area so I can stamp some more. I love your limited supply card, fix it if you want, but it works for me.
I just love that you post a photo of the items used to make a card/project. Thank you for taking the time to do this. It sure helps me out a lot.
I think this is pretty! Great pictures as well. I am wishing we were just a little further south as we are missing all of the snow. Drive safe! Take care 🙂
CONGRATS KATE!!!!
yup! we got the snow too!! blizzard warnings just ended! hope you made it back with Mallory ok!!
Gorgeous card, just gorgeous! Congrats to Kate! You did good Mom raising such an amazing daughter!
Congrats to Kate!
Sherry, I love your card. I wish I could mess up so wonderfully! Love those colors.
PS…I share your weather situation…I am in NE Ohio buried in 2 feet of snow. I guess we can do housework or stamp…I say we stamp!
I think your card is very pretty! Congrats to Kate and wishing I was headed to Florida with Mallory! Enjoy the snow…looks so pretty!
