Winter or Summer?

I don't know if you live in a place like I do, but here in South Texas, our weather is confused. It's been in the mid 70s and the tree in my front year finally just shed it's leaves this week thinking it was fall. On the opposite side, the tree across the street just started budding leaves thinking it is spring. So, here's a couple cards I have made in honor of the Texas weather, one for Summer by artist Elisabeth Bell, and the one for winter by artist ching chou kiuk.

So, lets start in Summer, as a real Texan (esp a south Texan) that is what you love. Winter is just something we accept here, and what most of you consider "winter" that's something we here in Texas could not live in. This wonderful stamp is called "Kiki with Dolly." She's a dolly herself, huh?





Now let's move to winter....we don't have much of a winter here. Temperature does drop down, lol. We don't own real coat, boots, ever see snow....And I must just laugh and say I have seen snow and been places on jobs and in college where it did snow and I don't care for it. This is a wonderful image from Sweet Pea artist ching chou kuik called Winter Watcher (plate #25.) This stamp is definitely an all time favorite from this artist.




Here's a close up of the Winter Watcher image




Be sure to check out the NEWEST stamps at the store. Sweet Pea has just released brand new images from ching-chou kiuk, as well as recent stamps from artist Elisabeth Bell and several other artist. There's also great specials right now.

Cheers, Holley
