On January 6, Lindsay showed how to make streamer with bits of paper or fabric, a bulb pin or a safety pin, and a button. The cardinal stamp was from the Holiday Cheer stamps issued by USPS for the 2025 holiday season. It came from Finnbadger's cat card envelope
The house card was formerly an Amazon giftcard holder. It sits in a paper pocket. The tree was from an insert from St. Jude's Children's Hospital which I cut out. On the back some notes about the streamer. The tree is held to the house with the green paper clip.
When I hear someone say Let It Snow, I usually add at Someone else's house.
The gift card envelope opened up. A sticker with 3 bears dressed for Winter. The bears asking Are we having fun yet?
Lindsay demonstrated how to easily make an envelope from a square sheet of paper. I used a piece of origami paper. The prompt for January 9 was washi tape. Lindsay covered her entire page with washi tape. I was too cheap so just covered the inner flap of the envelope.
This page is part of the spread you saw for T Day. The "Warm" came from the top of the snowman card. 2OLOTR (Two Old Ladies on The Road) need a warm destination. Inside the envelope, the Two Old Ladies on a warm, Summer day taken at Nubble Light in York, Maine.
There are no prompts for the January weekends as the group doesn't meet on the weekends. I decided I wanted to use my journal every day during the month of January.
The pages for January 10 and 11 formed a spread. I thought of the Rankin and Bass production, A Christmas Without a Santa Claus which introduced us to two characters, Mr. Heat Miser and his brother, Mr. Ice. I grabbed a screen shot of them from a YouTube clip and cut them out along with a thermometer which was colored in for each of them. Googly eyes added a bit of fun, too
My cousin and I tease each other about the weather. He loves snow and cold. I do not.
If you're humming their respective songs, you can find the lyrics on the back of Mr. Heat Miser and under the card flap for Mr. Ice.
These are lots of fun CJ. I love the fire guy with the thermometer. Placing him on a tropical beach was perfect. Another nice January day, maybe not tropical beach weather, but nice for January.
ReplyDeleteHe's Mr. Heat Miser.

DeleteAll sorts of goodies. Though, I can't believe you have anything that says 'Let It Snow'. Heh.
ReplyDeleteIt came in a sticker pack
DeleteFun artwork! I'm still laughing about the let it snow at someone else's house. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's how I feel.
DeleteGreat works - nearly all snow gone. "Horror-post" tomorrow... I hate this weather!
