I made this card for today’s color challenge hosted by Emily over on Splitcoast. Check it out here – Taken With Teal, Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White are surprisingly pretty together! I found this pretty Cotton Scraps image in my Crafty Secrets stash and thought it would be perfect with these colors. Some vintage crushed glass glitter, rhinestones, and white taffeta ribbon finished it off.
If you’ve ever wondered about winter in South Texas, here’s the view from my office window . . . Texas winter is grey and 76. 🙂
Supposedly a cold front is blowing in tonight or tomorrow. …I’m not a fan of cold weather, but do like it a little chillier than this! And snow? I have seen snow 2-3 times in my life. While I think it’s beautiful, I don’t think I could handle it!
Y’all have a great day!

I love this Jenn. I have not seen this Crafty Secrets cotton panel. It has such a great look. The image is super. We don’t get much snow here in North Carolina either. I am from the midwest and it gets dumped on so I have seen my share of snow.
Great job.

This card is great jenn! I love the sparkle on the edges! great bow also! I would take 76 degrees right now! We are in the teens and I have about 9 inches of snow in MN!
I love the fabric – how darling!
super cute card!
That crushed glass glitter is gorgeous Jenn! What a pretty card!
And come on over…we just got about 6 inches of snow…and it’s still coming down!
Gorgeous card Jenn…I hate snow, would much rather it be gray and 76ish, LOL!!
Yeah, I’d switch places with you in a heartbeat! It’s about 10 or so right now. I think the high tomorrow is supposed to be 8. In case you’re wondering, that’s 68 degree difference between MN and TX! And the snow this season has been amazing…over the past 10 or so years, snowfall has dropped dramatically it seems. Last year we had grass showing for Christmas! This year there’s 5 or so inches already on the ground!
*shivering* Gorgeous card Jenn, and love that crushed glass glitter! (And thanks for rubbing it in that your temp is 76! It’s only December 9th and I’m ready for spring here in Northeast Ohio!)
Love it, vintage, glitter, ribbon. You got it all! TFS.
We were stationed in CT for a few years…winter is over rated LOL
Its pretty to look at and sled in
but I hated shoveling it and I don’t like the cold
I’m perfectly happy wearing flip flops year round 🙂
Very pretty card
love the cotton panel!
Just letting you know I had to turn the AC on today. The thermostat in my house was saying 82. I am about 4 hours South of you. Now tomorrow will be a different story with that cold front coming through. I’m with you on that snow thing. Couldn’t handle it, not to mention I only own flip flops!!
Beautiful card!!
Do we get snow more often in Austin than in San Antonio?? I’ve only been here since ’95 and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it at least 3 times? Of course, I’m counting snow that’s like a quarter of an inch thick and melts by 9am the next morning… Love the card, btw. 😀
This is such a sweet card, Jenn!! I love this vintage look, and your crushed glass glitter is a wonderful effect!! Fabulous!!
Ok, it’s Wed Morning…..BRRRRR!! The front came through. Of course my skin is very thin; it is probably only in the 50’s!! I am bundled up with my flip flops on!
So, did you see any snow today? On the news they said that snow was in San Antonio. Aren’t you near there? Here, just north of Houston, it’s 36 degrees and wet! Yuck!
Come here then……slim chance of snow this weekend…and if it happens, it won’t last.
We’ll lavish ya…….
Come on up! 🙂
Really cute card!
Gorgeous card, Jenn! I LOVE that frosty snow on the card! Oh, I would LOVE winters like you have! Unfortunately, I see snow A LOT in Pittsburgh! LOL
This card looks soo beautiful in my wrought iron birdie stand that I got while we were shopping at the Dove’s Nest – I love it! I love that you sent it to me! I love that we are friends! Happy day, sweet thang….
