Winter Wonderland....

Good morning crafty peeps! I hope you all had a great weekend! I finally got the rest of my Christmas decorations up, saw the new Hobbit-2 movie, and got some house cleaning done. (If you know me, housework is NOT my strength. So it was a personal victory for me. LOL!) I also made more cards. Here's one of them:

Here's the inside:

I've challenged myself to use more scraps, stamps that have never seen ink, and embellies that I keep hoarding. I did pretty good with this card. Even used both of my die cutting machines! (Slice and Grand Calibur) I cut the snowflakes from three colors of card stock with the Slice, then cut the circles with the GC. After gluing the green strip, I adhered the circles and snowflakes, switching out the colors. I was originally going to put rhinestones in the center, but remembered that I had these wooden snowflakes. Out came the mists and Shimmerz! When they were dry, I glued them with Helmar 450 adhesive. (Those bad boyz ain't going nowhere! HA!) I stamped the sentiment in the corner, and another simple sentiment finished the inside.

I've used the sketch from CAS(E) this sketch #57, the colors from Color Throwdown #272, and the 'Let it snow' themes for CAS-ual Fridays #123 and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge.

Thanks for hanging out with me and I hope you have a great day!
