It seems like it is going to be another snow day for me. Can you say stir crazy? The coziness and relaxation aspect of it has worn off. I seriously need to leave this house! Please oh please let this ice melt soon! I hope you are all not feeling as caged as I feel with the snow storms that you are enduring!
Today I have a card that I made using Reminisce Accents cartridge. It is such a super simple card to make. So easy, in fact, that I made it while gabbing on the phone with Joy!

| The paper and ribbon are from Close To My Heart. |
 |
| The stamp is from Papertrey Ink. |
 |
| I cut this out at 1 1/2". |
Have a terrific Thursday!

What a beautiful card...this is exactly what I would send to you and Joy for when you don't have a post. We have lotsa snow too. Our weather this winter has been extremely frigid..but I've had weeks where I literally spend 3 or 4 days from 8 a.m. til 4 p.m. in my scrapbooking room and craft away I love it...I get my cup "o" joe and we have a great time...

The swallow is the first reason I got this cart. You and Joy and Diane quickly filled in the rest lol. Love the card :D. TFS!
Very elegant!
So pretty. I love that cartridge, but have never used that lovely bird.
Very pretty card!
Very Pretty Melanie, I LOVE it!
So you are very good at multi-tasking?! Hope you can get out of the house soon. I am venturing out today for the first time since Saturday night. : )
what a beautiful card. It looks very professional and elegant. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations with us.
Really gorgeous...love the muted colours!
Beautiful card! I love the sense of warmth it gives! Love the colors.

I feel your pain, that is why we moved to Tuscon AZ - If I could bottle some sunny weather I would send it right up to you!!!
Beautiful card! Beautiful Paper!
The cut-out and the paper match so beautifully!!!
I always love your pretty cards. You obviously have talent for making them, and I hope you get some warmth your way (the "Brownhog"-as my 5yr old says) didn't see his shadow! So there's a 36% probability Spring will arrive early?
The paper looks wonderful with the cuts...everything goes together perfectly.
Beautiful card! I love the paper! TFS
Awesome card! Happy Thursday!

I'm starting my Go AWay-ice dance right NOW. Crazy weather! This card is perfect for sending to those we don't see often, and as Joan Smith said for when you guys don't post, as we truly miss your inspiration! I have this cart and will get it out today! Thanks, as always!
Wow Melanie, this cut was just made for this paper. Don't know how you find the perfect images to cut all the time. I have so many carts that I forget what is on them.

I enjoy seeing your creativity!! I look forward to my e-mail reminder every day!
What a beautiful card. I love the softness of that printed paper. I am really enjoying getting to know CTMH papers. They are such a high quality. I want almost every pack from the new catalog! Try to enjoy your snow days scrapping and think warm, sunny thoughts!
It's a gorgeous card. Your quiet color scheme is great for this card.
Pretty card...love the color combo!
So pretty! The bird cut is perfect with this patterned paper. TFS!
this is soooo cute Melanie.....TFS!!!!

What a pretty card. Don't have this cartridge but it's definatly on my want list. Hope you guys get relief soon from the harsh weather. I live in the NW and it's unseasonably warm for us this year.
Love your blog,thanks for all your wonderful inspiration.
thanks so much for this idea--I do have this cartridge and will use this example to make up some sympathy card (which unfortunately I'm always running out of).
Appreciate your blog S0 MUCH!
Love the colors...well just everything about this card. It's beautiful!

That card is just beautiful, especially the paper! I am in Kansas and we had about 12" of snow. It drifted up on my front porch and covered the front door! I had 5 boys for an overnight last night! But.... my baby is 17, so I am well past the age of your son! I enjoy it!
Thanks for sharing

What a pretty card, so elegant and well put together
Gorgeous!
We have about 18" here but seems like more with the wind drifts!
WOW Melanie! This is BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE that paper and the cut and the ribbon... Heck it's BEAUTIFUL.... Oh wait I said that already! :o) Sometimes the paper just does wonders for a quick card... Love it! I didn't get any snow... but we did get a nice touch of freezing weather... We got around -20 degrees Tuesday night.... Wednesday afternoon a pipe broke... not good.... Then last night was -10 degrees sooo warming up a little! LOL we should be in the 40's by Saturday... My city wasn't even in the path of the storm and yet it still affected us to some degree... Stay warm Melanie... it will get better! :o)
Melanie, this card is so elegant and lovely! Love, love the papers used.
Oh this is gorgeous!
Really beautiful card!!
Simple, yes, but LOVELY! Thank you!

What a beautiful card! Living in CA I don't get any "snow days", but sometimes I think I would like to be snowed in, just to give me the excuse of why I need to be crafting all day!! Sorry you are stir crazy... I hope you get out soon!! :)

I love your card, Its really beautiful. I feel your pain about the boredom, I live in the dfw area also and Its pretty bad when you want to go to work! Thanks for the ideas!
Lovely papers. I am a bird lover so anything with birds on it I am drawn to them. Stay warm and craft happy. We are supposed to get some wintery mix later tonight and tomorrow. The trucks have started to spray the brine mix on the roads. Hope it doen't get bad though. I took a vacation day off work tomorrow.
That is just beautiful! the colors, and everything. Thanks for the idea.
Still icy here in Mesquite. Fortunately, I have had to go to work and it isn't too bad after I get out of the neighborhood. Most drivers are being sensible. Snow tomorrow 1-3 inches.
Beautiful card, I need to quit working so much and crafting a little more.
at least its not raining and cold and wet humid weather, thats what i have in the south. i dont know which is worse. i guess i can get out but risk getting sick, great card love the elegant look.
This bird is SO PRETTY!! And your color selection make it so elegant! Hope you see spme weather relief soon!

Just beautiful - from the paper to the cuts. I love it! TFS
