Creative Corner...wintery thanks

To continue along with my post yesterday about reading winter and snow themed books...I thought I would share a wintery card. I used elements from Card Calendar: A Year's Worth of Celebrations {2010 Day-to-Day Calendar} that my mother-in-law got me for my birthday. This calender comes with thick cardstock-like pages that have three days per page. Some of the pages make special cards like pop ups, while others are punch outs...like I used for this card...

Recipe:
Paper ~ white, choc. chip
Stamps ~ retired SU word set
Ink ~ choc. chip
Accessories ~ ribbon, modern label punch, cord. button, card calendar

Since the groundhog saw his shadow yesterday and we are in for 6 more weeks of winter...that means you have plenty of time to read some snow and winter themed books! These are a few Little Bit and I have been enjoying over the past couple weeks...

There was a cold lady who swallowed some snow! by Lucille Colandro

I am snow by Jean Marzollo

Hello, snow! by Hope Vestergaard

The snowy day by Jack Ezra Keats

{don't forget...utilize your local library for reading material!!!}


Here are a few activities we've done to go along with the wintry theme...

number snowflakes...{these continue to be a hit} For the fall months I numbered silk leaves 1-9 and she loved them so much, I found foam snowflakes at Hobby Lobby and did the same with them.

paper snowflakes...cut snowflakes out of paper and tape them on the windows or throw them up in there like it's snowing!

playing in the snow, of course!...building a snowman, sledding, or just running around in it.

Menu Plan Monday

Have you ever used wonton wrappers before? Well my first experience using them was making sausage cups for a baby shower brunch. You use muffin tins to form the "cup" and then fill with yummy goodness! I made the sausage cups recently and had extra wonton wrappers...so be watching for a later post with this recipe and a few other ideas I have to use these up!

Monday ~ sausage cups, scrambled eggs, diced potatoes

Tuesday ~ pork fajitas, coconut rice, chips & salsa

Wednesday ~ crock pot bbq chicken, green beans, ramen noodles

Thursday ~ pasta, salad, garlic toast

Friday ~ leftover buffet!
