Let it Snow!

The latest challenge at Jingle Belles Rock is all about the white stuff......*SNOW*

Since hubby is out of town, I've managed two cards today!  While both are lifted from Pinterest, they aren't *exactly* the same!  The first one uses an image from a company no longer in business.....MelJen Designs.  I fussy cut the adorable snowman after I gave him a little color.   Embossed the background and then brushed over it with some distress ink.  The patterned paper came from Echo Park ~ Jack and Jill.  Punched a few snowflakes, added some pearls and a sentiment (Unity Stamp Co.) and viola!

The second one is also lifted from Pinterest, but I didn't pull out the sewing machine to stitch the edges....used a marker to get the same effect!  The plaid paper also came from Echo Park ~ Jack and Jill.  The blue solid is from my stash.  The stamp used is from Unity Stamp Co. (which appears to may be no longer available). 

Peace on Earth

Peace on Earth is such a nice thought!  That's the current challenge at Jingle Belles Rock!

At first I was worried it was a little too "dark" for a Christmas card, but it's got snowflakes and sparkles, what more could you want?!?  I used paper from Carta Bella (Warm and Cozy), twine from Timeless Twine (Bella Creationz) and sentiment from Tim Holtz.  

Shape-up for the Holidays!

The current challenge posted at Jingle Belles Rock is to "shape up" for the holidays!  Make a card that is a shape!

here's my contribution!  I have made these snowman cards into tags for Christmas before, but not an entire card!  Mine is a little short and squatty compared to the Pinterest inspiration (and my sentiment is crooked now that I look at it), but it still makes me smile!
