Jolly Christmas

Hi All,

This is my last Holiday project....I promise :) I saved it for last, as it is one of my very favorites.  Last Christmas I had tried a snow globe card, but just never got it finished.  I loved how you could create a scene inside it.  Well, perusing Pinterest this Christmas, I saw tons of cards using a polaroid die to create a scene.  So, I had to give it a shot.  What I got was simply adorable!

I love this die cut and paired with this cute little penguin...it's perfect!  My inspiration for this card was this gem by Geri at Paper Wishes.  I loved her snowflake background and moved on from there.  The penguin and tree were fussy cut and placed on a snowy hill edged with Diamond Dust.  This effect is just perfect for snow.  Stickles were added to the tree for just a bit more sparkle.

Although this was one of my favorite cards from 2014, I don't think I was as productive as I have been in previous years with my card making.  I hope the coming year is full of creativity and more time spent in my craft room than last year.  Here's to spending more time doing what we love.  Happy 2015 All!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
