Snowman!

Hello friends!

Today I'm sharing a fun winter themed card ... I love this chipboard snowman.  I added the stickles to his scarf to create a fun glittery effect.

My 3 jewel signature also made it onto this card as well! ... I love the sheer ribbon too :)

For You ...

Seasons Greetings!

Hello there!

 

I'm back with another seasonal card!

Happy Boxing Day!

Another Holiday Card!

Hello there!

 

I'm back with another holiday card ... I created this card with a kraft base ... I like the brown accent against the papers that I've used!

 

 

An eyelet is a super easy way to make a tag that little bit fancier!  I love the metallic touch :)

 

 

Thanks for popping in today!

Noel!

Hello friends!

 

I'm back with another fun holiday card today!

 

 

I just realized that this card has a 2011 hidden in the Noel sentiment ... looks like I'll have to be fixing that before I give someone this card!  (lol)
