Shout out for StampTV - I was blog hopping tonight and do not know how I came to this site but it is packed with video's and challenges and creations from Gina K check out her network blog and her personal blog
Poke through it, the video's are very well done and she speak very clearly. Where have I been that I did not find this site sooner.

Let it Snow


Since I cut out one snowman for the last card for Frosted Designs snowman theme- I did another - this time he was cut from Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge at 1 3/4 to fit the layout at PinkGem. To assist me with the layout I used the color theme at Colour Create - fabulous challenge to use Red, White/off white, chocolate and pink.
All the embossing and sanding is from the Cuttlebug snowflake 5x7 embossing folder. Love it! you can pick the snowflake you want
Let it snow is a little Sizzlits. Brads added in the color per the layout allowed me to enter this in Practical Scrappers brads challenge. These are mini brads from Michael's

Merry


Created this card using the layout from Creat4Fun challenge#7 and the concept of snowmen from Bah! Humbug # 6 challenge.

Elements included those from Frosted Designs (stars) and Crafty Catz Button and Bows challenge #19
I used my circle Coluzzle to cut the double mat behind the snowman (which was cut from Doodle charms at 2 3/4"). The sentiment is from a Cuttlebug embossing folder that I added Martha Stewart glitter too.
