I guess I have to keep my sister, mutnik!!! I have been trying to get in a challenge this week, and this awesome image from Faith at http://designed2delightdigishop.blogspot.com/
was perfect for two challenges. On the sketch challenge, I couldn't figure out what to do with the spot the top hat is at so I called sis to see what she would do.......of course.....the first idea was to move the head of the snowman over to the edge and cut around the image. I kept trying to tell her that it was already layered and I was not going to start over!!! Then she said put a hat there. Light bulb went off in my head because I had just gone through some Judith stamps and actually knew where to look for the top hat!!! Miracles do happen!!!
For the new technique I used pearl ex for the snow. It glimmers beautifully in real life. I have to apologize to my camera.....found the book of insrtuctions (duh) and did NOT know that new fancy digital cameras need you to hold the button down lightly for focus (not blurry anymore) then push to take the picture. The days of turning into an ice sculpture trying to take a focused picture are over!!!
Thank you for looking. Comments appreciated.

Sweet card Connie! I love this image and the way you coloured it so lightly. Love your papers also. Didn't get to visit your gallery for a while. I see you got alot of CRAKS. Now you are so sweet, no wonder! Gorgeous image, is your camer a Canon, maybe that's why mine are blurry sometimes. Did you really read that awful instruction booklet...I can't summon the courage. I will pay for any other tip you have. LOL
