Happy Tuesday Everyone!! I hope everyone is enjoying their week and had a good beginning so far!! We here in NY are preparing for a major snow storm beginning tonight. My husband is like a big kid and is praying for a blizzard which keeps him stranded and allows him the opportunity to pull the girls on their toboggan! The girls are excited as well. Weird as it may sound, since I really don't love the snow, I hope for their sakes we get one last good snow. Then winter can end...
Well anywho, since today is Tuesday, it is time for the Midnight Madness Sketch!

Our Remarkables Award this week goes to...
This week's sponsors are:
Our MMSC40 weekly Bonus sponsor is.....
It is an honor for me to introduce Lacey's store as she is my friend and dt sister on Wags n Whiskers, one of the stamp lines she carries.
Stamp and Create is a new on-line store carrying many popular brands of stamps, paper, and embellishments including: Wags ‘n Whiskers Rubber Stamps, High Hopes Stamps, Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps, Whiff of Joy, Stampavie, Penny Black, The Greeting Farm, Basic Grey, 7 Gypsies, Shimmerz, Nestabilities (always 20% off!!), charms and more!!
$15 spending spree plus 3 stamps from their newest release! WOW!!
Here is this week's sketch!
Once again, it's "YOUR PICK". Have fun creating! Make it fancy, clean and simple, or somewhere in-between. Enter one of each if you like! Have fun and enjoy your crafting.
Here is my take on the sketch!
Today I am so blessed to share a sneak peak of the new images that are being released on Friday from Wags n Whiskers, one of the stamp lines that Lacey carries in her store! This is a real honor as the real sneak peaks do not start until tomorrow at all the Wags n Whiskers design teams blogs!! Since Lacey is the sponsor, she thought it would be fun for me to share one image with you today. This is one of my fave images called "Easter Blessings" I also thought this image appropriate since Valentine's Day is right around the corner and this image definitely shows me LOVE.
To accommodate my image, I flipped the sketch. I had so much fun coloring "Easter Blessings" with water color distress inks and adding new paper, new flowers available at Michaels!, new spacers and charms sent to me from Lacey at her Stamps and create store (the silver flower on the top and the three little ones on the bottom, I just added small hero arts pearls in the middle)The very vanilla paper behind the image is dry embossed in the textile embossing folder.

If you play, you have a chance to win a Wags n Whiskers stamp of your choice. You must use a Wags n Whiskers stamp for a chance to win.

Absolutely GORGEOUS Chris....it really is beautiful girl! You did an awesome job on this week's sketch....I love your details from those flowers, to the metal to that ribbon...great technique there!
Oops, I meant to add......Y'all stay safe and warm during that blizzard! : )
Your card is so rich in detail, it's pure eye candy! I love all the tiny roses and pearls and especially the colors! GORGEOUS!
We're bracing for another 2 ft of snow on top of the ft we got 4 days ago, so we're bracing as well! We're also keeping our fingers crossed that we don't lose power!! Stay safe and warm!
awww I hope that last snowfall comes for your husband and children, we are expecting more here whether it does actually happen or not! lol.
Your card is gorgeous fabulous detail and I love the way you have done the ribbon
Joey.xxx
This is such a beautiful card, I love the pastel look to it. The charms are wonderful as well.
Hugs
Tanya
OH WOWZA Chris, LOVE that ribbon treatment!!!! Your pearls and details always amaze me!!! Adorable image and fantastic colors too!!! Beautiful card sweetie!
Whoa, this is a stunner!
This is a very sweet and beautiful card, love the image and the colours you've used.
Happy crafting

Wow, Chris, that is beautiful. I love that image, because it reminds me of when my kids were little and I had their picture taken at Pennies with the bunnies. We did that 2 years in a row, and then I think Pennies decided taking pictures with live rabbits wasn't the best idea, lol. It made for some fun pictures! I hope your husband gets the snow he wants so he can take your family around on the tobagen ;D
OMG this is amazing,love your fab colouring and all the wonderful texture!!!
Hugs xx
GORGEOUS card!! Really love this image.. and all the beautiful details.. Very lovely work as always..

Have fun in the snow! Yes, we're bracing ourselves here in NE Ohio for the same storm. Should be as bad here as last weekend 14" ... time will tell! Stay warm!

Oh Christ - this is beautiful! Love the way you did the ribbon and secured it with the flower center. I'm with you - I'm ready for one last whorah and then the snow can go away - I'm ready for bird chirping and green grass :)
Gorgeous, Chris!
Your card is soo beautiful.
absolutely beautiful i love the green and your ribbons is fabulous. you know i love the whole card!
we got snow here too. expecting 12-16". i think snow is becoming a bad 4-letter word - LOL just stay warm & safe.
hugs :)
Hi Chris,
This Easter card is lovely! You have so many beautiful things used in this card...I didn't even notice the bunnies at first. I thought it was a Valentine Card.
I love how you combine patterns so gracefully. The tiny little flowers toward the bottom of the card even add something as well. I wish I knew how you connected your pearls with a swag to them! There is no glue showing!
You are so awesome at what you do!
I must be the only person flying from warm Florida to 34" of snow so far just outside of Washington D.C...no, I'm not the only one! Dave is going, too! My first snowball fight since the mid 80's when I last saw it. Note to self: Don't bother bringing shorts!
He IS Able,
Traci S.
Gorgeous card once again Chris! I lOVE your colors and image here :) Very pretty flowers too! Great job. I love playin in the snow with the girls, but it's actually pretty nice here, almost 50 degrees! Thanks again for your gift -- I'm so blessed to have you for a friend. *Ü* Hugs!
Hi Chris, this is so beautiful, what a lovely scene you have created, love your charms and embellishments, just beautiful!! Hope the little kids and the big kid have lots of fun in the snow LOL, take careX:)

Oh my goodness, girl!! this card takes my breath away!! I am so honored at the work you did with my kids...I mean this stamp!! Everything about this card is amazing...the ribbon technique, the pearls, the spacers, the flowers, the stiching...wow!!! Thank you for the lovely work you do. I am honored to call you friend!!
I hope you do ok with the storm. It's so crazy to think about since it was 79 degrees here in South Florida. I honestly don't know what I would do in a winter storm!! I pray that you stay safe and warm.
~Lacey
So so cute Chris!!! I love this image!!! You colored it so cute and I love the sketch turned... your work is always awesome!!! Pretty ribbon too!!!
Oh Chris~If only your hubby could come to my house to shovel the snow!!!! The kids could sled on the hill and watch him. I am ready to go south if we get much more.
Your card is beyond words beautiful. A delicate work of art with too many gorgeous details to mention. I love to come here for inspiration at any given time. Thank you for sharing!
