HELLO EVERYONE....

I am still having so much fun coloring

up the images from our new release....

CHRISTMAS FUN 2013!!!

I thought I would pop by and share another

card I made this week.

For this card I have used....

"Making Friends"

and

"Lg. Snowy Pine"

I colored the snowmen bodies with Heavenly H2o's 

and the rest of the images with Tombows.

After I colored the trees I embossed them with

 a swirly pattern embossing folder. I made the 

smaller tree by just cutting off the last section 

of the tree and adding the trunk back on with glue.

I cut all the images  out and layered them with

 foam tape. I added a fringe ribbon for the snow. 

I can't remember the DP that I used for the 

background nor can I find any left in my stash

 so if you know what it is do let me know because

 I would love to get some more!!

Have a great day and

Thanks so much for stopping by....
