Snowy Country Road and Blog Candy Winner

Good Saturday morning. Before I start my post I would like to announce the winner of my blog candy. Congratulations to Connie aka Conniecrafter for being the 18th comment chosen my Random.com. Connie, send your mailing address to [email protected] and I will get your gift right out in the mail to you.

Thanks to everyone who checked in with us during hurricane Matthew. We had high winds and rain here in the Orlando area but we fortunately didn’t suffer any damage to our home. We have several large old oak trees in our yard and neighborhood. One huge tree fell in our next door neighbor’s yard but luckily didn’t hit our houses.

My project today was made using the Memory Box Country Road Oval, Valley Deer Trio and a tiny star from the Impression Obsession Sun and Moon set. The oval frame was made using Spellbinders Elongated Ovals. I’m not sure these dies are still being made as I couldn’t find them anywhere to link for you. The shape of these ovals are longer from top to bottom than the Classic Nestabilities oval. I used Fiskars Nostalgia Corner Edgers on the blue layer and couldn’t find them anywhere to link for you. I’ve had them for years.

I applied the scene image out, applied Cosmic Glitter Glue and glitter and set it aside to dry. I created a double matted frame using the elongated Spellbinders ovals. I applied double stick tape to the back of the white frame and attached it to the smaller blue frame.

I marked off on the blue layer where the open cut of the road would be and applied glitter glue and glitter to that area. I cut the corners with the Corner Edgers and attached it to the card base with mounting tape. I applied mounting tape to the back of the framed scene and attached to the blue base. I couldn’t resist adding the two deer in the forefront of the scene.

I’ve gotten on a blue and white scene theme lately and just can’t seem to help myself. I love how the all white images and sparkle looks against the blue background. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great weekend.
