I'm a little sad to be posting for the final challenge of this year's Hope You Can Cling to Challenges. It's been a super fun month and really stretched my creativity.
This is for Lydia's challenge to create something inspired by nature. I envy Lydia's daily walks in the warm climate of Texas. Unfortunately, 6 or 7 months of the year I am walking in snow. Since I live in Alaska I decided to use the inspiration of our current condition and create a shaker card with a cute new digital snowman image by Birdie Brown.
This is only my 2nd shaker card ever so I'm pretty pleased with the results! I've combined it with Stampin' Up! (retired) Wintergreen designer papers.
Thanks for taking a closer look! I hope you've had a chance to play along with us this month. All of the cards and projects we've created will be going to the MD Anderson Cancer Center for patients and their families.

Cynthia, this is the sweetest lil shaker! I can hear the crunch-crunch-crunch of snow under foot. Adorable.

I just saw that Lydia posted this on FB- it's just fantastic. Love the whimsy and sparkle. This DSP is one of my all time favorites and I still have a pack in my stamping room. Beautiful job, Cynthia.
