Your cards are beautiful :) everything about the snowman cad is awesome I love the snowman he looks so jolly to be out in the snow and the snowflake really makes this card along with the bow tie. The girly card is pretty and again I love your use of a different way to show the ribbon and button. Thanks for sharing

Hi Shirley!
I'm a new follower here. Boy, I don't know which card to start with as they are both so amazing! I love the colors you picked for the snowman card, and how it looks like a window. So creative! And the second card reminds me of those Christmas cards you would see way back in the 40's. (Not that I was around then!) I just love how you put the glitter around the picture of the girl, it really brings her into the main focus! Great job!
Stop on over sometime and say hey!

You can see the Smooch if you click on the picture and it is just GORGEOUS! I've never used the vanilla color, but I'm in LOVE with the log cabin color! :)

Super cute cards, girl. You did a great job with these. I can't wait to get one for Christmas! hee hee
Your cards are darling! I like them both very much. I have the Greeting Card Kids stamp set, so I can CAS your card! I also have lots of snowman stamps, so I will use your layout and add shimmer to some of mine. Your color combos were very eye-pleasing. Great job!
Shirley,
Both cards are absolutely beautiful!
I love the design of the snowman card!

Wow, this is beautiful! I love the look of the glitter around the girl on your card, it gives it a real vintage look! Thank you so much for the inspiration and chance at some goodies!

Hi Shirley,
So happy to be in the hop with a new blog I can follow. Your snowman card is great. I love how it mimics (or reminds me anyway) of a window frame. its almost as if you can see the snow falling outside. Great job with the spritz glitter! I love sparkles! Your second card is very girly and so cheerful! Great job with the chunky glitter, too!
:O)
