Card #1
This adorable Smiley Snowman is this week's freebie from Spyder's Corner and I couldn't resist making a card. Hop over and snag the freebie for yourself before he's gone, and make sure you leave some love for Spyder - she's very generous with her weekly freebies and they are always so cute! Now back to my card... I coloured the snowman with my Prismacolor pencils and added white glitter along the snow. The glitter doesn't show up very well in the photo, unfortunately. The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Plaid. The snippets of DP are from Lawn Fawn, as are the sequins and twine. The snowflake button is from my stash.
With Card #1, I would like to support the following challenges:
613 Avenue Create AG Optional Create Your Own Challenge (Col. 1: image, bling, patterned paper, Col. 2: sentiment, Col 3: solid colour paper/white, Col. 4: sequins, button, Col. 5: baker's twine) 2/3

Card #2
My second card features this month's image for Digi Stamps 4 Joy's Monthly Christmas Challenge. It's called Two-wit Twoo, and I coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils, added Icycle Stickles to their caps, and sponged around the edges with distress ink (Tea Dye). The sentiment is a rubber stamp from Plaid. The embossing folder is from Sizzix/Tim Holtz (Wood Grain); the burlap is from Micheals; and the snowflake button is from my stash.
