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.

Absolutely fabulous CAS card, you're right, this image is perfect for it, and I love the black check ribbon. I, too, fight the urge to keep adding when trying for CAS!!

This is a real departure for you, GF!! I love the simple CAS layout you chose, and just the hats and scarves in color with the addition of the ribbon is perfect. Just enough! TFS!
