Happy Holidays!

Can you believe that it is only 4 days until Christmas! I am actually more prepared this year than in past years. I actually got a lot of my wrapping done this weekend which is huge for me. This card that I made is going to one of the friends that I work with. She was saying how much she loves snowmen so I decided this was the perfect card for her. I put little pearls on the scarf to try to match a pink scarf that she has and loves to wear.

I decided that I wanted to do something different than just a traditional color snowman card. I had this beautiful snowflake DP from Magenta and decided to use the colors in it. The snowflake border is something that I got a short time ago at my LSS. It is a Tim Holtz die cut that I have fallen in love with. This border is actually a bit longer but wanted to shorten it up give it a different look than a full border. Also I wanted the look of a wintery sky so I used my cloudmaker and dragged the sponge instead of tapping it.

Here are some fantastic challenges that fit this card
