We moved, not once, but twice in less than a year, and during the second move, I fell off the porch and sustained a very badly broken wrist. With these limitations, all my craft supplies are still stashed away in boxes in the basement, except for one small box I found upstairs of assorted supplies- a few stamp sets, a couple of ink pads, some spray glue, glitter, and a box of buttons. I treated myself to a new Designer Paper stack (got 50% off!) at Michael's, and that's what I had to work with to make this card!
So this is for the Sketch Challange 260 (thank you Faith, for a nice layout!). I stamped the snowman in SU Really Rust, sprayed the panel with glue, dusted with crystal glitter and then tinsel glitter (you all know how much more glittery these things look IRL!). The circle panel is actually a snowflake, stamped in silver and also glittered, although it's very hard to see in the scan. I liked the idea of the square buttons- I think they work well with the rectangular panels. I tied them with slivers of ribbon I cut from a roll of gift wrap ribbon.
And that's that! Although it's getting pretty late by now, anyone who would like to do a one-for-one Holiday card exchange with me, PM me for my address and give me yours. I have several designs, so which one you'll get will be a surprise!
Happy Holidays, Everyone!
Hugggs!

Welcome back Maddy! Sorry for all you had to go through but happy to see you creating and posting. I recently got this set on the FSOT forum but only got to play with the deer so far.
Your card will certainly inspire me to play with all the images asap. I love your non-traditional color choice, the glitz and glimmer and overall design.
