This is my card for F4A337 - to make a card with a cool temperature feel. You remember the first early snowfall when you are not quite ready to let go of Fall, as the leaves are still so pretty and your flower garden still has blooms? The temperature gets cold enough one night to have a snowfall, and I tried to picture it. It's dusk,
and the sky is gray and the snowflakes are BIG and beautiful. Well, that's what we have in Wisconsin anyway.
The cabin is a "cabin in the woods" that DH always dreams of. The giant snowflakes are cut from recycled mayo jar lids washed clean. I save them all for the silver side. The leaves are freshly fallen and still so pretty and colorful.
Can't you just FEEL the coolness of the evening!!

I can feel it; I can see it, but I don't want it to come! You've also described Ohio's first snowfall in this beauty of a card. Mayo lids ... ours all come with plastic lids. You are genius at recycling girl! Love this.

Wonderful description....even I can feel the chanfe in the seasons, and I live in "seasonless Southern Calif." I am going to have to take a better look at my jar lids. I don't think any of them are as pretty as your silver snowflakes.
