Ohhhh Paula, this is primitive all right! And not just in style! This was my first ever shaker card, but I plugged on, and do like the end result (though it might not be fit for sending anyone!)...it's super heavy, because the front is cardboard that I painted with my Tim Holtz Crackle Paint in yellow, stamped plaid bg on it while it was still wet...then sponged the edges with blue pigment ink! Used buttons rather than glitter, because this thing could bust apart at any second, and I'd rather sweep up a few buttons rather than a pile of glitter that might stick around, literally, until April...hee! Really fun challenge, Paula!

Kelly! Everything about this is perfection! I love the yellow with the blue, the buttons, that awesome bow, and, of course, that sweet little snowman. I think it would be a fabulous gift! Thank you so much for playing!
