Winter Walk Serendipity Stamps


This photo captured the way the snow looks, I had to take it
 on the diving board out by the pool



I received some of the most beautiful Christmas stamps in the mail the other day. 
 The stamped scene is Winter Walk from Serendipity stamps.
It reminds me of my great grandparents farm in Wisconsin , from many years ago.
 I added Glossy Accents in just a few spots that I thought the snow would sparkle, then sprinkled with Martha Stewart glitter.  It shows up in the first photo, not much in the second.
 The sentiment Merry Christmas is also from Serendipity Stamps. I think it is just so
 elegant with that sprig of holly. I heat embossed that.
If you only knew how many photos I took!


 Thanks for stopping by. The birthday party went well and I made sure I got to hold, hug, squeeze and kiss all eleven of my wonderful grandchildren. Im really not as old as you might think! I started out very young. Smile!

  1. Hi Marybeth, this is absolutely beautiful!! What a pretty stamp snow scene and I love you added glitter. Don't you miss the winters in Wisconsin? Well, probably not the cold, but the snow is beautiful! We did have 62 degrees today, no wind. I would also love to have your temps 80's, 90's I suppose.

  5. What a beautiful winter scene! I just love the raised snow, I'm so glad you took a pic that shows it! Isn't it crazy how a picture can never do a card justice?

  11. Eleven!!! How blessed are you! And obviously you followed the Romeo and Juliet traditions of starting your family when you were 15 as you don't look old enough to be having 11 grandies!!

    Your Christmas cards are brilliant! (I cracked up about taking the picture of the "snow" out by the pool!)
