Snowy Day Fun and Crafting

So, we got about 3" of snow which was pretty interesting as Brad and I had a date - took us 30 minutes to make what is usually a 10 minute drive home. It was beautiful. And we're supposed to get about 6" more Monday night. You know, it doesn't snow much in Central Arkansas - so there's been a massive run on bread, milk and toilet paper. ;)

The kids had a blast playing outside - well, three of my four did. Nin stayed inside and Rainbow Loomed.

I stayed inside and did laundry, blog surfed and crafted. Papertrey Ink is having their 7th anniversary festivities and the challenge today was to make a 3x4 "Monthly Moments Trading Card" in honor of their new product release "Monthly Moments."  I decided that since I was caught up on housework, I'd participae in the challenge! Heather Nichols is the designer of the line and this month, the journaling cards will have a color scheme of Smokey Shadow (dark grey), Classic Kraft (think "paper bag brown"), Scarlet Jewel (a lovely wine color) and Hibiscus Burst (vibrant pink). I decided to use that color scheme on my card, too.

I used Pretty Peonies (the 2012 PTI anniversary set) and put it on one of my "Midnight" Project Life core kit journaling cards. Can't wait to use this in my album with the February Monthly Moments set! :)
