The Challenge at ATS blog this time is snowflakes…I wanted to play, so I got busy this afternoon and made a BIG snowflake to sit Emma on while she kept warm with her cocoa.
I’m a cocoa girl too…

and a close up…

The snowflake is a Sizzix originals die, the stamp is from CC Designs, the glitter on the snowflake is from a set of Martha S. glitters, the taffeta ribbon is from Stampin Up in white and I colored it with copic sketch marker G85, and yes, I snuck in that pine needle border punch again from Martha S!!!
Emma is colored with my copic sketch markers.

Deck the halls….

I love this sentiment set from CC Designs by Amy. It came with the Winter kit and so did these two cuties, Emma and Trevor. They are just all the things I love! lol
I just had to start with the close up this time.

Here’s the card… I followed the sketch from Friday Sketchers

I used this Merrymint paper from American Crafts. I love this pine needle border punch from Martha S. The postage punch is by Marvy Uchida. The tree punch is a new EK Success punch and comes with a stocking too. The kids were colored with copic sketch markers. Pretty much the same colors I’ve used before and posted for other cards.
I need to get back to “deck the halls” here. I’d rather be stamping or looking at stamping!

Just remembered to check the comments for the paper give away from Nov. 30th! sorry… Linda Ward, I have some Memory Box Winter papers for you!!!
