This is for FS197 and Angela aka jellybean74 is our featured artist for today. Congratulations, Angela! You have a lovely gallery.
I saw several inspiring cards in Angela's gallery but her extremely CAS Got Margaritas captured my attention. LSC205 Got Margaritas? by jellybean74 at Splitcoaststampers I don't often do CAS as it's not particularly my forte. I admire people who can take a plain white background and make something interesting with it. I loved Angela's framed image and simple sentiment in the lower corner. I kept Angela's exact card layout but changed the theme to Christmas/Winter and used a different image. I thought the little framed snowmen from Festive Favorites would be perfect for this project. I had to keep smacking my hands away from adding the little evergreen tree image from Happy Winter to surround these snowmen. I did venture away a little from Angela's inspiration piece by adding a ribbon.

You nailed this CAS card. Love the gingham, love the frame, love the placement of the phrase. The white background works especially well for snowpeople. Great job!
