Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I can't believe it is now Wednesday already again. Where does the time go. I sure wish time would slow down so I can get all the things done before Christmas that I need to. Yikes!
This a.m. I was woke up at 4:30 a.m. to a telephone call. I don't know about you but when I receive a call that early in the a.m. I panic, thinking that someone has been taken ill to the hospital or something. I remember well being called several times in the middle of the night when my mother in law was battling with cancer and had frequent seizures....Thankfully it was just the local schools calling to cancel school for the day due to the heavy snow, freezing rain and heavy winds. My girls are home schooled but we still we receive automated cards from the district. Usually I don't mind but 4:30 a.m. is a tad early for automated phone calls. A yucky day here for sure! I guess it will be a day confined to working on cards and homeschooling my girls and not venturing out. It indeed looks like a winter wonderland!!
Anywho...on to today's challenges and my card. Today it is time for a new challenge from Inky Impressions and Flutter By Wednesday. This week's challenge at Flutter by Wednesday is to create a card with a winter theme and an angel, fairy or butterfly. How appropriate is that for me with this wintry weather we are experiencing here!!! The challenge over at Inky Impressions is to create a card with snowflakes and an Inky Impressions stamp!! These two challenges integrate so well together that I just combine them together for one creation!
I kept her colors and basic layout but changed the image used, dp, and added snowflakes through out the card not just in one corner. I also added pearls around the oval to frame Lili and added sewing. You can see the sewing if you click on the card to enlarge it. The sentiment says "Have a "Fairy" Merry Christmas".
I hope you can join us for the Flutter By Wednesday or Inky Impressions Challenge this week! For more inspiration for the Flutter By Wednesday Challenge, please visit my dt sisters:
Ann, Cassie, Nicola, Christine, Danni - Queen Flutter By,Harriet, Heather, Jodi, Karen, Kimberly, Kris, Kristie, Lelia, Michelle, Nancy, Pam, Stef

Here is what I came up with:
I used Fairy Lili from Inky Impressions and made her a Snow Fairy Lili! I made here have long sleeves and paper pieced her. I colored her with Prima color pencils and gamsol. I also incorporated the Featured Stamper Challenge from Splitcoast Stampers and cased this card from Michelle aka MitchyGlitchyGoomy. Congrats Michelle on being this weeks featured stamper!
I kept her colors and basic layout but changed the image used, dp, and added snowflakes through out the card not just in one corner.

Great card! For some reason though, your comment on the Kaboodle Doodle Blog is on the wrong entry. Can you go HERE and re-enter it so that you are entered in the prize drawing? Thanks! ~chris
beautiful card,
Thanks for joining in the snowflake challenge
at Kaboodledoodles,
Hugs
Angie
It's lovely Chris! Y'all stay safe in that heavy snow, and yes...perfect day to create!
Down here, we're having unusually warm/humid weather...it's cloudy, but doesn't feel like winter....it changes so quickly though!
Love your sparkly wings on her!
Chris this is such a pretty card! I love the soft colours that you used and the sparkle on the wings...well...I love that too!
Happy snow day!
Christine
I adore this image!! How sweet and fun with all the sparkle and flakes!!
Beautiful card, fabulous colours and such a sweet image
This is gorgeous, Chris!! Love your colors and everything matches so nicely!
Wow, 4:30am?? Yikes! I'd be the same with a phone call that early. When our phone rings after 10pm I panic! Enjoy your snow day today! It's nasty here as well but the buses ran. They usually do. Everyone around us is cancelled.
So sweet,I love this image and you always do a wonderful job with them!!! Beautiful work!!
A 4.30am wake up call,that is way too early and yes I would panic as well.
Hugs xx
So sweet!! Love the colors and the layout! This little fairy is adorable!!
HI sweetie!! I know what you mean about time slowing down!! :) I am just now getting through the MMSC blog hop!! SHEESH!! I so love your pretty card here today hun and your image and colors are so soft and pretty!! Awesome job as always!! Congrats on all of those challenges too!! Thanks for adding the Stamp Something challenge with your project!! BIG HUGS
Wow! I wish we received automated phone calls when schools were closed. We still have to watch T.V. to see that. I always hated having to get up, start getting my kids ready, and then finding out 20 minutes before they were to leave the house that school was cancelled. Anyway, love your card. What a sweet image. I just love the paper piecing and all the bling.
Sorry about the deleted comment...my brain is not working this morning, and I hate misspellings!! Let's try this again!
Chris, what a gorgeous winter fairy!! She is beautiful!! I love it! Enjoy your "snow day"!!
430 AM YIKES that is way early Chris, I would have been very scared too...I always think the worst if I receive a call between like midnight and early morning!!! On the bright side at least it was just the schools!!!! AWWW thanks so much for the well wishes for my hubby...they just took him back...I am sooo happy cause my husband's work layout works here at Kaiser....this will keep me busy cause reading puts me to sleep...LOL!!!!
Your card is soooo beautiful, fairy LiLi is GORGEOUS and you did an AWESOME job with these challenges....LOVE LOVE your added snowflakes and your coloring and colors...AWESOME!!!!
Big Hugs, Have a great day!!!
Great card, Chris! Love the sparkly snowflakes!
Hugs,
Lelia
i definitely would have panicked i my phone rang at 4:30 a.m.! but a snow day is fun!!! go make a snow angel or 2!
i'll bet they'll be as beautiful as your card! i love the soft colors too.
hugs,
Chris, Fairy Lili is so sweet! Beautifully colored and I love the stitching around your card. Do you do that by hand or sewing machine? I have no luck with the machine. Beautiful job! hugs, Angela
Ooh what an awful time to be woken up - like you I always think the worse.
Beautiful card - thanks for joining in with the Kaboodledoodle challenge.
I love that fairy!!! she is the cutest and great to color too! you've done a fabulous job on your card!! love the pretty colors and the layout is awesome! hugs, Kris
You poor girl! I would HATE being on that call list! Your little fairy is so darling! I love the colors that you chose for her, and it's so cool that you sew on so many of your cards! Great job, my friend!
Oh I know what you're talking about....late night calls or early morning calls freak me out, too. Glad to hear it was just the call chain. Super adorable card!
Soo cute luv it

Very sweet faerie and a lovely, feminine, card! Ack...I'd have been scared by that early call too! They should be able to take you off of that call list, no?
This is a lovely card!! Wow! 4:30am! That's early! Would have scared the pants off me to get a call that early. I can't get over how everyone in the rest of the world is talking about how cold it is and I am sitting here in shorts still sweating!! It's going to be 86 tomorrow!! Yuck! Oh, that's right, we have a cold front coming...it will be 78 on friday!! LOL Are you kidding me?!LOL
