Morning,
A beautiful frosty morning here, but so cold.....Did you all have a great weekend???.. we managed to get all the Christmas presents,just need to wrap them now,so that means there's only the food shopping to do now.....
Today see's a new challenge over at Hooked On Craft and for this challenge we have a theme of.....
WINTER WONDERLAND
With this challenge it can have anything to do with winter; snowmen, christmas, penguins, cold things, blue, snowflakes, icy type things etc.
This challenge will run until 10th of December...
And here's my card......
I would like to enter the following challenge......
Make it Monday - Always Anything Goes
I've used the cute snowman image from Hooked on Craft coloured with promarkers...My card base and layers have cut using my Go-Kreate dies........The icicles have been cut with my Marianne designs die and then covered with the fabulous glittery stuff from hunkydory.....The largest mat behind the snowman has been run through a snowflake embossing folder....
The flowers and gems are all also from Hooked On Craft.....The snowflakes have been punched with my MS punch and then they have had the glamour dust treatment.....The sentiment is from Pink Gem Designs......
Right I'm off to make 30 Christmas Cards all the same design for a friend of my Mum's who asked me at the weekend and my head was saying no can't do it no time and my mouth opened and went yes,I walked away thinking did I really just say yes,how mad am I,has it ever happened to any of you????.....Anyway have a great day.....

sooo beautiful...
Gorgeous card, love the details, particularly the frosty border.
Can't imagine there are actually people like you who already have purchased all their Christmas presents... I don't even know where to start LOL, though I have only two grandchildren and a niece to take into consideration.
Good luck with your Christmas card manufacturing for your Mum's friend. I would probably also have said yes...

Hi Mandy: First let me say that calling your daughter your most beautiful creation is precious...very heartfelt and precious. And I am SO SORRY your husband is long suffering. The big prayer goes out to your family. Having said that Mandy, you are quite the artist! This card is beautiful You have taken such a simple image and made the most beautiful scene out of the snowgirl! lol I love your top Martha (I think) punch in white, your glitter, your flowers and the arduous work you put in with your borders. The pearls on the border are perfect! The color, the placement, everything. It is surely true it took time to do this. Mandy, I give you much credit...Enjoy the season. Spirited Love, Samara (who is VERY GLAD I found you on MIM) It is so good they have this...you find very wonderful art and selfless people!
p.s. I couldn't help myself! I just subscribed and am your newest BFF (my quacky acronym for blog follower foreva) I looked through your work and it is WONDERFUL! The little elfs are gorgeous. Can't wait to see more each morning.
Superb job. Saw your project on Make it Monday and had to come over and take a closer look.

Awesome card!!!
Такая красивая открытка и форма открытки изумительная!!!
I love this card so much!! I would love to know which die you have used to create your base, and which die cut machine you can use it on? (Specifically can it be used with the Big Shot?)
If you have a moment and don't mind emailing me, I would love the info!!
Thanks!
