Linda's big red gingham bow and snow globe got me! I used PTI's new Friendship Jar Holiday Fillers snowman and sentiment. Kept general theme, layout, and elements (they all were so GOOD)...and changed images and colors a bit.
You know when you do something, and then say "Nooooo why did I do that!" (out loud, and when by yourself!) The snowflake punches on the side were showing through but I thought they needed to sparkle...so I colored them with my Sakura Stardust pen and then they turned silver and disappeared, eek! The snowman is painted with White Opal Shimmerz paint, and at first he was like Mr. Pink...but luckily it faded!!
Thanks soooo much for featuring Queen Linda! She is SO generous with her comments, and I just love all of the beautiful and sweet cards in her gallery! So easy to case one of her cards, because they are all just right!!!!

Great idea to put him in a jar - he has plenty of room to stretch in there - cute, cute, cute with the snowflake DP and the gingham - such a wintery and inviting card!! Thanks for sharing yourinnovative idea - saving this one!

Love the snowman in a jar and the beautiful ribbon. had to laugh at your out loud "noooooo!", lol. I think the snowflakes are perfect and while they are a wonderful embellishment, they don't take away from the main image. So they are just right. This is so cute. Love it.
