Oldies but Goodies
by Jill
Oh, how I love the Alpine Hut! I just want to curl up inside with a nice cup of hot cocoa and a roaring fire and forget that I ever have to go to work! This stamp is a classic, it's so charming and takes me to a place I want to be!
I wanted this card to look especially "cool" so I used a bare trees from the Trees I set and loads of glitter! (I still have glitter embedded in my carpet!) To give the hut a textured appearance, I paper-pieced it using a scrap of Chocolate Brown notecard.

For my second card, I wanted to do something a little more masculine. I was inspired by my 19 year old cousin who loves to snowboard with his buddies. I'm sure that the rest of the country is fed up with snow, but here in Southern California, we can't get enough of it and every weekend our local mountains are flooded with people hoping for some good powder.

Love the take on both the cards. Love the colors. Another very inspiring card.

GREAT cards. I especially love the first one. I received several cards with the Alpine Hut during the swap and thought I "needed" it. Your cards further affirmed this. AND - then I read it is the blue light special. Consider it SOLD!!

I liked these cards so much I got on the website and ordered the hut and a little eskimo girl. I love it and I am falling in love with Amuse!
