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!
ReplyDeleteI'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!

Hi Shirley,
ReplyDeleteSo 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)
