Once I got my workspace cleaned up from the pre-Christmas craft extravaganza, I was able to pull out the pieces of this card and get them colored, glittered, and assembled. This cutie is from the December release at The Cat's Pajamas. The bunny is from the set called Freezin' Season, and the sentiment is from the Snow Day set.
Living in the country, I remember LOVING snow days from school. That meant a day at home spent playing in freshly fallen snow! Seems to me, the Pacific Northwest used to get a LOT more snow than they've been getting in recent years. Mom and Dad have a great sledding hill at the house, which was 'almost' always great fun. I say 'almost' because if you weren't careful with your steering, you and your sled would get to the end of the hill, shoot out across the driveway and crash into the rail fence. Or you'd crash into the huge bull-pine tree and fracture your leg bones, ending your day in the emergency room at the hospital. Yeah. Ouch.
I'm entering this card into the color challenge currently being hosted on the Touch Twin Markers & More Challenge blog ... maybe I'll get lucky and win some new markers! *grin*
Cute alert! TCP has some darling images . . . love this one. :) I remember lots more snow (and ice) when I went to college here years ago. I miss the snow! Doesn't sound like running into a tree on your sled was a very good idea. Owie!

Oh, for the "good ol' days" when my brother and I "sailed" the Coca Cola metal disc over the stone wall into the picnic table. Or when mom rode the cardboard box over the ice into the pyracantha bush. . . . We lived in the country--my dad was a veterinarian, so we ended up in the "ER" in our downstairs bathroom (no broken bones, thankfully).

So cute! Love how you colored that bunny! Ah, I still love snow days! Watching it fall while warm and cozy in the house with a cup of cocoa. Sigh. Waiting for snow...
