This is my card for a challenge with a small group of SCS friends. This is my story!
1. We were to make a card with snowflakes and mail it to Stamp Owl (Frances) in Austrailia because Frances has never seen snow. Or maybe she has but she says she hasn't just to get seven snowflake cards!
2. We required to use these items:
Winter domino - check.
Dotted Swiss Paper - check.
Polka Dotted Ribbon - check.
Punched White Snowflake/white brad - check.
3. Now before I get 7 pms telling me I cheated, when I sent out the instructions I did not say that you could not take the white brad out and move it to another location which is what I did. Also please note that one of the snowflakes is not punched out of the dotted swiss. That is the required snowflake, so don't be sending me you cheated pms!
4. Had a little scare this morning. As usual, I put off making this until the morning of the day it had to be posted. My photographer (hubby) said the camera died, batteries dead, no picture today!
5. This is major for me, everyone in our group will think I am cheating again, didn't get my card done and am just looking to get another day to finish!
6. I tore this house apart and found 4 batteries that worked. My husband watched in utter disbelief!
Note to self: Buy lots of back-up batteries.

Good Gosh Gerti, that is one beautiful card. Love the beaded snowflake you made for the center. You must have gotten up 2 hours earlier than norm to make this one. That silly camera man should have known you would get that picture taken. NO way is he getting a day off. LOL

Wow! I've been staring at this beauty for quite a while, and just now realized those are safety pins with beads on them!!! What a great effect! Love all the textures. My hubby is my photographer too. TFS. Linda

This does look like a vintage piece of jewelry...and I love the way you used your own supply list. This is elegant, understated, with the Mothermark all over it! I love all the cards you and your challenge group came up with...just gorgeous!
