Snowy and Smooth Alcohol inks!

I made this for a VSN challenge, but did not get it posted in time...... 

 I had a background using Alcohol inks that I swiped across the page- found the technique from a Jennifer McGuire tutorial.  How fun it was to play and create!  You have to be very very careful IF you use Yupo paper and try to emboss on it, as it is plastic and melts quite easily.  The sentiment is from Newtons Nook.

We visited my son and DIl in Colorado for our family Christmas.  He is way out on the Western slope (more deserty weather), and each time we have come for Christmas, it snows here!  LOL  Usually, when it snows here it melts quickly- well....not when we visit!  WOw- the scenery is stunning covered in snow!!!

  My DD2 is on the far left- she lives in Fairfax Virginia, and is studying for her Phd in environmental sciences.  Next, my DD1, she has her Masters degree in Education and teaches in Chicago- social studies.  Next, my DIL is a teacher- 3rd grade this year.  She is holding my Grandson- first Grand on either side of the family!  My son has a nursing degree- just this year- in college he studied outdoor rec, but went on for another degree. 

 Here is a pic with hubby and I with the three kids. The DD! on the far left and our son on the far Rt are twins : ) 

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!  I hope 202 brings you many blessings!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
