Skating By...:Making a Card #103 Video

Hello everyone!

I can't believe it's almost the end of 2014 - it feels like this year just flew by. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas (and if you don't celebrate Christmas I hope you had a great Thursday) and are ready to ring in the New Year!

We kept everything pretty low-key over here last week - it was nice to just spend time with the kids and hubby and then celebrate Christmas with extended family. I've been REALLY enjoying getting a chance to sleep in in the mornings with everyone home - not something I get to do very often!

I FINALLY got some time to just sit down and make a card - no rhyme or reason I just wanted to stamp and color. That actually all went pretty well - it was the editing of the video that ended up driving me bonkers. I go on a bit of a rant (sorry!) in the video about it - basically I decided to update my Mac to Yosemite OSX over the holidays so that all my other programs could be updated and I TOTALLY regret it at the moment. Everything is different, especially my iMovie program. It took me more than twice as long to edit the video and figure out what on earth I was doing - and I still couldn't edit things properly. 

I think for the most part y'all won't notice much difference - but on my end I was ready to pull my hair out. I also mention in the video that my hubby gifted me with a new editing program (Final Cut Pro X) for Christmas which I've wanted for years now. I've been hesitant to get it b/c it looks like it has quite a learning curve (and if you know me at all I'm not too great at anything tech - I muddle through it all as best I can), but with this iMovie upgrade I am more motivated than ever to figure out this new program!

ANYWHO - that's part of what's going on here for me at the moment ;). On to the card:

I pulled out my CCDesigns Meoples Ice Princess image along with my Chilled Out Sentiments set and my Doodlebug Frosty Friends patterned paper.

All the coloring was done with Copics and the die cut snowflakes are SSS dies (links in the supplies).

and here's how I finished off the inside:
