Another Page for Wayn'e book & A Few Photos

Hello Ladies. I hope that all of you are doing well and staying warm. I've not been posting much due to my trying to catch up with all I have to do for Christmas.  This certainly has been a very busy time for me. Especially since Christmas seems to be  coming very fast this year. Well, that will teach me for not making more time back in September to start my shopping.:)

Anyway, I am still working on 2  digital scrapbooks  and one paper scrapbook  that  I want to give as gifts. I hope that I can get them all done in time.

Here is a page that I made for Wayne's book and also for the Divine Design monthly challenge. Hope you like it.

 

To make this page I used green paper for my background. I used a flourish brush and stamped the flourish randomly on my background using the colors from the yellow leaves and a darker green that I thought looked well with the lighter green paper. I used a frame, added my bible verse and then added some text. Easy? You bet.  have I told you how much I love using brushes and stamps on my pages? Well, I *love* it. I love that I am able to make my own backgrounds by stamping randomly and I love using them on my photos.  :)

Today, I received a big box from Stampin'UP!I purchased a few of the brand new items that will be available to everyone on Jan. 5, 2010 in the Occasions mini catalog. I hope to be making some new cards using the items that I purchased so that I can give you a few sneak peaks. I will say for now that this is the best mini catalog I have seen Stampin' UP! come out with in a very long time.  Did you hear that SU will be offering not only the wood stamps but also the clear-mounted? I am so excited. Of course I had to order the clear mount stamps. Awesome!!! More on this as time goes by. Also Sale-A-Bration will start on January 5,2010. Yay!

Here are a few photos I took of  Wayne snow blowing today. We got hit with snow, high winds and soon it is going to turn to ice. UGH!  No escaping it now.....winter is here.

Here is a photo of Wayne snow blowing a section of our driveway.

 

Wayne is using his brand new snow blower and it seems to be working out great. Here he is clearing a path to one of our bird feeders out back.

And this is a photo of him going back from the path out back to the driveway again.

 
 

It was a tad difficult to get these photos because the wind was very strong and it was still snowing. My camera is not waterproof so I had to take the pictures quick. It was 32 degrees but with the wind blowing I'm sure it caused the temps to feel as though it was in the 20's.

So that is it from me tonight.  But I will be back as soon as I have a new card to share with all of you or perhaps a few photos of the new things I received from SU today. Take good care, stay safe, stay warm and Smile.:) This time of the year so many people could use a smile from all of us.

Oh my goodness, Mary, your pge is fabulous. Love that green andthe scripture...love it!!! WOW, you guys GOT some snow!!! I bet Wayne would not trade his snow blower for a snow shovel? I remember those days back in Germany when we had to remove all the snow infront of the house, infrnt of the garage all the way around our property as it had all public street along it and back in the little village I grew up we had no one else clean it up. Love those pictures. Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
