Let it Snow..........................a little early

I know that most of you back east are very tired of the snow and I also realize it is a bit early to be doing a Christmas card however this week at RAQ's Challenge   on the Cricut message the only thing that kept coming in my head was snowflakes.

The snowflakes are from several cartridges, Holiday Cakes, Accent Essentials and Winter Lace to name a few or maybe all I don't remember, LOL.  I do love the way it turned out and thought about making it my Christmas card this year, but I am no so sure with cutting out all those snowflakes.  Well I have a few months to think about it!  There is one snowflake hidden in there that was a Martha Stewart punch.  I sprayed all the snowflakes with Glimmer Mist, some Glacier and other Dazzling Diamonds.  The happy holidays is a Gina K stamp, that I stamped on a Spellbinder Nestie cut out. Here is a close up of some of the snowflakes.

The snowflakes are pop dotted at different hieghts, then added bling to the centers and called it done.
I am glad you stopped by.

Mojo Monday 177 Card

Since male cards are so hard to make I have been trying to make them when I do a challenge.   The first Monday of the month at Mojo Monday is a contest week.  Here is the sketch that we had to follow.

I twisted it up just a bit, but I do think you can still see the basic sketch.  The button down the right side are brads I made using my i-Top brad maker.  Did you know that there is a cut on Accent Essentials cartridge that is perfect for cutting out and using to cover your brads?  It is kind of nice as that way you don't have to buy all the punches for the different size brads.  The papers are from DCWV Cafe Mediterranean Stack, including the paper covering the brads.  The paisley cut is from Holiday Cakes cartridge.

 I think I accomplished making a card that was appropriate to give to a guy, what do you think?
Well thanks for stopping by and I love to read your comments.
