The last ATC of the year ........

Happy Sunday evening .....

I hope you've had a nice weekend ..... although it's probably been a white one for some of you. 
We had quite a bit of snow here on Friday ...... this was what we woke up to .... so pretty 


And it gradually got worse as the day went on ......



Schools were closed for the day. Flights and ferries were delayed.  There were no cabs, no buses running and all the shops closed early .... but all that didn't matter ........ it was SNOWING!!!!


It did stop snowing for a while ........ Meet Frosty,  Alex's snow day friend


The only downside was I had to cancel the Christmas workshop yesterday.  It wasn't a good idea for everyone to travel with the weather conditions as they were.  It's all been re-arranged and fingers crossed, it will go ahead next weekend.
The snow has nearly all gone here now .... sigh.  It would have been nice to have a white Christmas

Anyhow ...... it's the 10th of December (only two weeks to go before the big day ..... eeek!) and it's time to launch the last of the Happy Little Stampers Challenges for this year ..... the ATC challenge


The theme is Christmas ....... and oh look! ..... it's a snowy one


I do love white on Kraft card. 
I've stamped and heat embossed some small snowflakes onto the background


Added in a few dots with a white gel pen and brush around the edges with Picket Fence Distress ink


A simple strip of white card, cut to create a snowy hillside, then heat embossed with the greeting using Liquid Platinum powder.  A touch of glitter adds a little sparkle.


To finish off I die cut a pretty snowflake from glitter card and a piece of white, layered the two together to add dimension and then attached it onto my ATC ...... all done!


The last ATC of the year!

Thank You to everyone that has played along with all of this years Happy Little Stampers challenges ..... your support means a lot.
Have a very Merry Christmas ..... and a Happy and Healthy New Year.  And we'll see you all in 2018 for more challenge fun!

Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day. And if you've got snow, stay safe and warm.
We were out and about today, and it was a little on the chilly side!  We went for a lovely Sunday lunch with the whole family ....... it's always nice when someone else does the cooking, and there's no washing up to do!  And this evening hubby and I are staying cosy and warm in front of the TV.  It's movie time and a little Christmas spirit I think ...... Cheers! 

Cheerio until next time .....

I was thinking the same as you, I wish the snow had waited to come closer to Christmas, you clearly got more than us but it is still snowing gently here! Love your ATC, Kraft and white go so well together... Hugs, Anne xx

Beautiful snowy atc, love the kraft and white too! Glad you enjoyed the snow although my opinion about it lasting has undergone a major rethink since it’s kept me stranded in Amsterdam for 3 days!
