I'm finally returning from my two week absence. I thought I would be away for a week or a bit more. The little grands came and we had a great time. Wow! You really need to eat your Wheaties or Spinach to keep up with them.
When my grandchildren left, I made several cards for the breast cancer drive on Splitcoaststampers. I'll share one today and some more later. We are to make cards that you can send to the patients or cards for them to use to send out.
For a while, I've wanted to try to make snowbanks like the ones in the card above. I finally tried it and guess I was a bit successful. I'll sure try it again. My card is for the HYCCT1401B challenge (Lori aka stamp_momma): Shine On--create a card that uses light to convey courage and hope. My star is the light.

A wonderful winter wonderland indeed! Great snowbanks! Glad you had fun with the grandkids :)
Welcome back - such a beautiful card you did a great job!!
There you are! Oh I'm so happy to hear you had a wonderful time with the grandbabies - yes, they do require some energy (no grands here, but 4 kids keep me hopping with lots of Starbucks as energy, LOL!) GORGEOUS card, simply beautiful in every way ~ you have such a great eye for design and your cards are always something to marvel. Blessings! ♥
Oh Goodie, here's our snowmen!!! I look forward to them all year Miss Brenda!! I'm so happy you had a great time with the Grandkids!! I know they are tiring but so fun!! I get mine baby on Saturday!
Hey Brenda! It's so good to see you back - and with a beautiful card too! Love the way you did the snow banks!!!
Ah yes......I know what you're talking about when you say the grands sorta wear you out! Where do they find all that energy! Glad y'all had a good time though and know it was fun.

Glad to hear you had a fun time with your grandkids ... I'm sure you needed a lie down in a darkened room when they left ;) Wouldn't you love to have half their energy!

Glad to see you back Brenda. It's a beautiful winter card. I too like the snow drifts.
You did a fantastic job on the sponging, Benzi! Love that sky and the snowbanks! And the little snowman is adorable!
WB to blogging! I hope you had tons of fun with the grands :)
Cute card, and you nailed the technique for snowbanks! I love the little branch too!
Your sponged sky is gorgeous with all the shades of blue and purple ... and those snowbanks look like you've been doing this for ages and have lots of experience ... perfect!! Loll xx
Nice to see you back. Great card. Love winter scenes on cards, not so much in person. Grin. - Jim
Whoo-EEE, I'll say you were very successful with your snowbanks. It looks easy to do, but I don't find it so! Yours are very realistic & icy cool looking. YOu did a fab job with this card, and I absolutely love it! Hope you get a chance for a little restup after the littles. I can imagine the pace of life picks up when they visit, as much fun as it is. TFS & Big hugs.

What a wonderful card! Your snowmen cards are always FABULOUS!
What a lovely winter scene with pretty sky and snow drifts! And, of course, the sweet snowman!:-)It makes me smile even though I don't want the snow to come...hehehe!:-)
This is such a beautifully done card. great sponging with the snow banks. Glad you had a great time with the grandchildren....
Hi, Benzi. So glad you enjoyed time with the grandchildren, and I surely hear you about keeping up with them! LOL
Your winter wonderland card is GORGEOUS - you've captured the northern lights in the sky in purple shades, and such pretty snow drifts blending into the bottom portion. I've pinned your card for the techniques used. The berry limb in the foreground looks amazing!
Beautiful card! hugs, de
Welcome back! Sounds like you had a good break. Refreshes the mind, doesn't it?
You did a great job with the snowbanks! And the twilight sky, and the perspective, with the branch in the foreground. :)
