Baby Its Not Cold Outside-Yet!

Happy Tuesday everyone. Its damp and dark this morning and luckily not too cold since I am off for a 2 hour trip to take care of some business with my mom. But I haven't seen her for a bit so it will be nice to check in.
Today I have a skaters page to show you. This page started with me cleaning off a stencil and then the addition of  some watered down acrylic SILKS paint. I repeatedly stamped the skaters, colored them in, and then decided  they needed some ice.So I cut around their legs and then added some shiny silver paper and voila-they are skating on some ice!
I added some snowflakes, some stars, some wintery phrases and a TH card.
I am linking this page to Art Journal Journey. Thanks to Valerie for hosting and picking the great theme  of collage.
So thought I would also show you my new ink storage cabinet. Its nothing special, just me being frugal. One of my co-workers was tossing out this old cassette holder. I liked the fact it was made from wood and it didn't cost me any cash.
I couldn't take out all the vertical slats without the horizontal pieces having no support, but I removed several and can now store some reinkers and some paint bottles. It holds a lot of little bottles, and it doesn't take up  a lot of table space.
Maybe its not the most beautiful piece but it works and I love the fact I was able to recycle something that would have gone into the trash otherwise.
Guess I need to get moving. Hope you have  great day!
