Stitched layers with buttons and felt to create a scene.

More stitching on felt, plus French knots for falling snow.

A great way to use some of those scraps we all accumulate.

Optional: Pay It Forward. When you say "thank you," you're encouraged to also link to at least one of your own Favorites. This idea started with a suggestion from APandi, seconded by ChaosMom.

[jodi r.]

Oh, thank you, thank you, Linda (aka uncbballfan)! I am so very pleased that my cards were put into your faves. There are SO MANY talented artists on this site, so for my cards to get noticed is a big thrill for me. Thanks again to Judi M. for the notification. Much appreciated!

[LilLuvsStampin]

Here are a few of my favorites from this week:

I love the unique metallic look to this pretty Northern Frost Mini Card by ratona27

This lovely and gorgeous creation by Andrea Ewen called It's Your Birthday is breathtaking!

I truly had to pick my jaw up off the floor after gazing upon this outrageously gorgeous creation called Christmas Romance by patsmethers. Pat has such an eye for elegant details and bringing them together so beautifully. Do I hear the Dirty Girls calling her name?

[LilLuvsStampin]

Oh, gee....I just saw your post for my Bronner's Inspired card, Marilynn; thanks for favoriting and mentioning it and bringing a smile to my face today!

[Jenna Barber]

OM GOSH!! THANK YOU KAREN!!! WOW!! CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LISTED ME AS YOUR FIRST EVER FAVORITES OF THE WEEK! I'M EXTREMELY HONORED! You KNOW how thankful I am that you have introduced me to stamping (and you support my addiction to it!). I always felt like I had some creative genes, but never had the right outlet for that creativity...I think it's safe to say I've found it with your help! THANK YOU!!! This made my week!~

[card crazy]

Pat, you're the sweetest. Thank you so much for adding my card to your favorites and giving mention here.

I just spent sometime in your gallery and wowzer, your creations are all just stunning. I adore your talent.

Enjoy your day!!!

Romance on paper!

[CAKath]

Kelly/gadget19- Many thanks for the shout out on my 'teapot' card. It's a CASE from kittie747 so I can't take the credit. So wonderful to be acknowledged in the weekly thread. Your twins are adorable. Thank you.

[texan947]

I hope I get some time this evening or tomorrow to go through the favorites from the week. It has been way way too chaotic aroung my house this week.

[Gingerbeary8]

Judy thank you so much for mentioning my Woodland Angel in the favorites this week. As a matter of fact, I just came out of the woods....I went hunting with my DH this weekend and camped out. So what a perfect Angel to choose and I am so flattered to have it recognized. The ones in my favorites this week are mentioned here already. Thanks again.

Carol

[AndreaEwen]

Thanks Charlene for mentioning my card! I so appreciate the recognition! And thanks to Judy for letting me know...your efforts to let everyone know that they've been complimented here does not go unnoticed!
I'd like to pay it forward with these pearls:

~Bridge to Wyoming~ by patsmethers

[Jerri Kay]

Thank you so much Andrea for mentioning my card. I'm so sorry I'm late in chiming in. We've been gone today and I only just returned and got on the computer. You've made my evening!

[I love rubber]

Thanks so much Pat for mentioning my snowmen card. This means a lot to me as I greatly admire your very creative cards. As an aside I have tried to play it forward and miserably failed. I have a Mac and this is as far as I seem to get. Step 1 done, Step 2 done, Step 3 the Mac has no right click or copy link so I have gone command c which seemed to work, then the right click twice I can't do, nor select paste. Does someone know if paste is command v and what do I do for the right click twice. If anyone can help ....please.
Cheers, Elizabeth

[stampit74]

my iMac has a right click menu...you have to set it up in your preferences for the mouse! it's great! You can pull down under EDIT for your cut copy and paste but the short cuts are command C for copy and command v for paste and command x for cut.

[stampit74]

Here's one that I loved and had to go order the stamp right away!
Warm Wishes by cmf1216 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers


Elizabeth - on your mac you want to right click, holding down on the (small) icon photo of the card right under the full photo of the card, and pull down all the way to choose copy image....then come back to the post box and do command v (paste) and preview and it should look just like mine here. HTH! If you need help setting up your preferences for your mouse, you can email me under my gallery name.
