Through the Woods

What do you think of when you are in the woods?  Me, I picture myself, walking through the woods.  Calm and serene with a stream trickling over rocks somewhere. Above me, the birds chirping and the squirrels chattering.  Ahead of me is a clearing, and as I walk into the meadow I find a rainbow of wildflowers and a doe with a fawn nibbling the grass on the other side.  Pretty darn peaceful  to think about. This is the vision that inspired today's card for this week's Cut-it-up Challenge Blog.  I used two dies, one is a border die from SU! and the leaves and tiny butterfly are from Simon Says Stamp.

Now... I encourage you to find your version of Through The Woods for CIU.  You can make it whatever you want but you need to incorporate wood in some way (you can see that my chevron paper is wood grain).  Of course you also need to use a die cut to qualify and follow the CIU blog.  You can view the full rules here.

Should you choose to join us (and I hope you do!) there is a prize up for grabs!  A stamp set of your choice for Scrappy Moms.


Again, be sure to check out all the DT's amazing inspiration over at the Cut-it-up Challenge Blog.  You have until Feb. 5th to come play along.

I had the pleasure of crafting with a couple of my friends last weekend, Kimberly Wiener and Amy Tsuruta.  It was so fun and this weekend I get to see my girlfriend Sarah D.  Today's Question of the Day is- what are you plans for the weekend?  

Happy Friday!!!!!
