Topsy Winter Papers,

and 

Winter Galore Accessory Set. 

Here is my card...

Inside the card

I will say when I first saw this image,
I loved it.
Then I got to looking at it
and panic set in.
Its a night scene.
Easy enough use grey.
But there are stars and snowflakes.
How do you color the sky grey,
yet have the snowflakes and stars.
Why Stickles of course!!

I colored the image with
Copic Markers....

have Cranberry Rhinestones.

The middle of the bows have
red flatback pearls.

The stars are silver Stickles.

The snowflakes ended up as blops of Crystal Stickles.

The garland on the trees is Golden Rod Stickles.
I prefer Golden Rod over Gold cause it has a richer color to it.

I opted to finish off  the inside of the card with

matching paper and a tree.

Monday of November?!?!

This week's challenge is 

a Sympathy or Miss You

Sympathy cards are so hard to make,

But because they are so hard to do,

and many like to do them as the need arises

to make them more personable,

we decided to also include Miss You.

I am using Broken Box's

Toodles with a Flower image.

Here is my card.

I colored the image using

Copic Markers

B05, E000, E37, FRV1, R20, R29, Y13, Y17, YG09

and my white gel pen.

The paper is from Micheal's open stock.

The circles of the image and sentiment

as well as the scalloped circles

were cut on my Cricut.

The flat back pearls and ribbon are from

Pizzazz Aplenty.

Jubilee and Me....our first ride

Well it was a cold cold cold day...high of 29.  But that didn't stop me from riding.  Jubilee and I did a trail ride.  Here are some pictures.

We did well except Jubilee didn't want to get her hooves wet.  We got to the creek and she just didn't want cross it.  It took a couple of tries but she did cross it.  Once we crossed it the first time she had no issues coming back across it later. 

It is suppose to be warmer tomorrow and Larry has the day off.  So I get to ride again.  I think we are going to ride in the ring tomorrow.   Can't wait!!
