Snowman Holiday

I know I should be out shopping all weekend trying to brave the crowds and finish up my Christmas present list. But I am past the crowds unless it is a holiday craft fair (which I got up early for yesterday) and it is really cold and windy outside. I am home alone so I decided it was a perfect time to make a card instead. This card will end up being some one's Christmas card because I really love the colors of it. I finally ordered some of Moe's Digital Stamps last night. I told myself that I wasn't spending any more money on myself until after the holidays but I really wanted to color something new and my order from Kraftin' Kimmie hasn't come yet so with a couple clicks of the mouse I had new images to play with, don't you just love digis! I made this card with a couple of challenges in mind and here they are

Paperplay Challenge Week 43 -This Wonderful Sketch this week from Sandi, so easy to work with!

A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge 79- A Colour Combo, Brown with blue or pink, some of my most favorite colors

Quixotic Challenge #4-Tearing, something fun that I forget do use on my cards that gives a nice distressed look

Allsorts Challenge Week 29- Use buttons on your card. I couldn't wait to use these new icy buttons that I got at my LSS

Crazy For Challenges Week 13-Crazy for punches, I used three different snowflake punches altogether to make the snowflake embellishment

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge 8-This week the challenge is to add texture, I ran one of the panels through my snowflake Cuttlebug folder and then sanded it.

Dare U 2 Digi Challenge 26-Use glitter, I used Twinklets on the snowflake(I love this stuff) and I glittered the Flower Soft for sparkling snow

These are all fantastic challenges and I am finding it fun to see how many challenges my card can

work for. If you have a few minutes check out a few of them on my list.
