I hope you all had a wonderful week and weekend. Today I'm sharing one last Christmas card before I pack away the pretty paper and take down all my twinkly lights. This one is made using papers from Canvas Corp Brands. Even though my term as a CCB Crew Member is over, I will be using their amazing papers for years to come!
The snowflakes are Penny Black, the reindeer is Frantic Stamper, the flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts, the snowflake flourish is Memory Box, the snow and glitter are DecoArt and everything else is from my stash.

It's been raining here all week and there's no snow to speak of, so I took a trip up north so I could get a little taste of winter. There was four feet of snow up there and the world was covered in ice! It was absolutely glorious!!
I didn't see any grey squirrels up north, I did however run into this little red squirrel. He was so adorable, but he ran away quite quickly when I stepped in to get a close up.
"UGH! Now I know why my Mamma told me not to eat yellow snow!!"
I saw some Chickadees up north, but they sure didn't want anything to do with eating out of my hands, so I had to come back home for a little one on one with my local wildlife friends.
This is MISSY, she hangs out at the lake and is only starting to get used to me. She normally just watches from behind a tree to see what I am up too. So cute.
"OK, so it turns out, it's NOT easier to go through the reeds!!"
I am so glad that my good friend KAREN still comes to visit. She is the last of the my original gang from when I moved in last year. She is sweet as ever and always poses nice for the camera!
For my macro today we goo back up north to an ice covered pine sprig...
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
Gorgeous card and wonderful photos. Glad you enjoyed the ice and snow, it always looks pretty, but I wish it was a bit warmer! Have a nice day, hugs, Valerie

Pamellia, your card is beautifully layered and I love it! We moved to Wisconsin and now we also have a variety of yard birds and critters. For the first time ever, I have seen a black squirrel and he/she comes to our deck to enjoy peanuts! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteLoved the beautiful combination of chalkboard with bright n lovely colors :)
ReplyDeleteA great finale for your Christmas cards Pamellia. They are unusual colours which work brilliantly. Your snow photos are glorious....we may be getting a sprinkle here by the end of the week...we'll see. Lovely to see your furry friends keeping well. Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteThe layers on your gorgeous snowy card remind me of a mille-feuille pastry, sure wish I had one right now in fact!! Love how the red sentiments pop in layers. Terrific photos, the snow on your trip north looks fantastic. Nicola x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, fabulous colours and design, and your birds are wonderful, is that a Cardinal, but with blue Feathers? Amazing photography, Kate x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kate. Not a cardinal, it's actually a Blue Jay. A common bird in this area, visits year round. They are quite the characters and I enjoy photographing them!!
DeleteI just adore this color combo and all the elements peeking out of the layers. What a gorgeous design! Hope you are staying warm and enjoying this beautiful time of year. Hugs, Autumn

Oh, I do so love your cards Pamellia. So many delicious layers and lots of yummy embellies .. always breathtaking. Magical photos as always. The winter scene is stunning and I adore the little red squirrel! Love the chickadees too and the cardinals .. they are all just so gorgeous. Brilliant macro shot as well. Love it all!!! hugs xx
ReplyDeleteWell, Pamellia, your festive card makes me want to drag the tree back in from the curb and throw up those twinkling lights once again! Love the colors and how you've added the lyrics down the side! Beautifully feminine layered card in your divine Pamellia style!
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are amazing and Karen is looking happy as a clam! Gotta love those snow shots--4ft!!! My word! How do you get out of your house when it's that high? Great you had some sunny weather to get some awesome snow and ice shots! We got about 232 flakes last week! Ha! Ha! We sent Lauren back to school early, since 8 inches were forecasted between here and her college, but they ended up getting an inch! We are back to summer today! Sending warm hugs! Glad to see you back in the craft room!
It sounds like yo had a great trip north and you certainly found a lot of snow. The little red squirrel is so sweet and I am sure you would soon get him eating out of your hand if you had the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteIt seems sad that this is the last of your Christmas cards for the season, time to put away all of those lovely papers and beautiful Christmas charms and berries. This is a fabulous card and I adore all of the layers.
I am sure you have lots of amazing projects to dazel us with in the coming year. ;)

You did so many GLORIOUSLY LOVELY Christmas cards - super art work Pamellia. Thank you for sharing your holiday spirit in such a special way.
ReplyDeleteAs a Texan - I can't even imagine driving towards a world covered in ice. I would be running the opposite way!!! It's amazing to me that you love it so but I'm glad you do because you sure give us some INCREDIBLY WONDERFUL imagery to see. Your photos are just amazing. As our your adorable little friends! Xj.
Your card is gorgeous and I just adore those colors together!
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed, I mean totally in awe when I view your nature photography- absolutely splendid! hugs,Jackie
Awesome card Pamellia!! The layers are wonderful and I love the chalkboard part in the center really pops :) Of course your critter shots are always amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you didn't miss sharing this final festive card - I just love the colours here, so pretty and fresh in those fabulous dimensional layers, and the chalkboard sentiment is perfect at the heart of it all. Stunning photography as always, and I'm definitely envious of your snow compared to our grim, grey rainy days at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAlison x
BEAUTIFUL card, I never have enough words to praise them for all the detail and loveliness you add to them. Oh! I'm so envious of your snow, we are supposed to be having a little tonight, but looks more like rain than snow. Your photos are amazing as always, you should have them printed in a book.

Have a great day my friend!
