Winter Fun in Alps

It was almost 25 years, since I saw this kind of scenery with my own eyes from the window of passing train.

My family was traveling in February of 1989 from Russia to Austria.

It was beautiful and magical and forever etched in my mind. And of course I had no camera with me!

OK, I admit, that at that time I saw no skiers as well, but I think anyone, who lives at such place-has to ski!

I am entering this card into challenge offered by:

Hills and Mountains - Craft a Scene April Challenge

Winter fantasy-Новогоднее настроение

This time I am a Guest Designer-which is a big honor for me.

I Love winter, warm and cold :)

This season is just full of magic!

Winters Lace

So, here we are... at home and trying to get well, somehow we managed to get Pneumnonia....

I am at least glad, that we are not in the hospital.

Well.... Somehow I do like to picture winter in a different way, that we have it now.

Background I have colored with distress ink pads,

the rest of the card is made with die cuts

and glitter

and inside of the windows i have placed a tiny mirrors (Ranger)-really fun stuff! Looks like mirror, feels like mirror, but you can cut it and use it in scrabooking.

Christmas Wishes just for ME!

I can honestly say, I have friends from all corners of the world! :)

This is what kind of treasures I've got this winter, from:

Mama Maxa-Russia

Silent night

Here I have made 2 cards, with the same main stamp (log house) and a different sky and coloring, turned out two different looks.
Simple, yet very Chrismasy :)
Later on I'll just add an appropriate sentiment, and... I think I am done with my Crismas cards!

A present for ME!

This ADORABLE Cutie pie, has arrived for me ALL the way from my home town in RUSSIA! He is handmade by a fantastic ladyТани-Darina , who has a magic touch. I am so exited, and dream and swoon ower this little baby. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Now, I am dreaming to have a second one-in blue ;)

as for me... I can only do cards :)
And this is my latest creation. My daughter bought a little doll ower a weekend, and that doll was packaged with this plastic dome, I decided-why should I throw away, when I can use it?
So... I colored image of the girl(Craft and Me) with.... yeah.... kiddies CRAYONS! Can you believe this??? I didn't bring any other media with me to the beach house, got lonely,and decided to busy my self with CRAYONS. :)
You know-I did enjoyed the process!
But, since this is plastic dome, it turned out that it is NOT so easy to take pictures of it(
