Winter Wonderland

 

 In the meadow, we can build a snowman....

 

 Now, to get that tune out of your mind...hahahaha   It's been stuck in mine now, for about 4 days!  

 

For a refresher course on the entire song:

 

WINTER WONDERLAND 

 

 Sleigh bells ring
are you listening
in the lane
snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
we'll say: No man
But you can do the job
when you're in town

Later on
we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
the plans that we've made
walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
until the the other kids knock him down

When it snows
ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
the Eskimo way
walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland
walking in a winter wonderland

 

 

 

 

 

 

I made these cards for this week's Craft Roulette where the parameters were and I justified:

 

1.  This card is actually 2 card stock pieces adhered together by the top piece scored at 1/2" from the left...is adhered to the back (blank) piece making it an inside.  It's kind of fun, it sort of like a book bind...I've made TWO of these kinds of cards now in my lifetime, both for Craft Roulette...and I find them quite fun to make...  the first one I ever made was for episode #68, my little Cubby dog shown below....

You can kind of see how it opens like a square, but is sealed down by a panel, typically on the left side, but there are NO rules...it would be fun to see this adhered down from the top too.  Oh, the possibilities!

2.  Sandwich Shop colors:  So...I originally started the card the white version, but, really wanted that vintage vibe and created the version on kraft card stock.  I was thinking green for lettuce, to be honest, I really didn't think too deep about the colors....  I was going after the 3rd parameter for my main inspo for the design.  After the matter, I decided the kraft color resembled the "bread", the green scarf is lettuce and pickles colors...the blue blended background is the color of a Lay's Potato Chip bag...and the silver...well the FDA in me, is saying the stainless steel prepping tables/sinks/refrigerator, etc., all the stainless steel required equipment you find in a sandwich shop..

 

3.  Music:  Winter Wonderland music!!!  I also have lightly stamped sheet music in the background.

 

4.  Wrap:  The scarf is wrapped around Frosty's neck, plus the silver cord is wrapped between 2 eyelets.

 

This was my 97th Craft Roulette submit.  It seems like my style is going more towards simple, and that's perfectly ok for me....  I've had more sad news land my direction this week, and it just felt good to not overthink this card and use a stamp set that I hadn't inked up yet.  I lost my Craft Roulette pen pal a couple weeks ago, and just learned about it on Saturday.  I knew something was up since I hadn't heard from her for at least a month, after a couple year friendship of sharing Craft Roulette ideas weekly.  This makes my heart very very sad...  RIP Janet, your friendship meant a lot to me.  I truly will and have missed our Friday night and weekly messages back and forth.  There definitely is a hole in my heart, I honestly don't know how many more holes my heart can take.  It's been a very sad year....  

 

I used In the Meadow  stamp kit from Unity Stamps.  Unity is having a pretty good sale going on right now, FYI...  I am not affiliated, just a happy customer, who adores their line.  I can attest for the quality product and service, and an all around fun company to design with!

 

Well...I have 3 more to go until I hit that magic 100 mark!  Til next week...  I've got a couple busy weeks ahead of me in the chocolate.  So...I may miss a week or 2, my goal is to reach 100 by the new year!

 

Til next time!
