1 card 2 ways

This is a bit belated but better late than never - right?

With my daughters birthday just before Christmas
I needed to make her a card.
As soon as I saw this adorable snowman from 
Little Scraps of Heaven Designs
I knew it would be perfect for her!
She loves Olaf and even though it is
summer here and NEVER snows :(
I wanted to make it into a winter themed shaker card.
She LOVED it!!!


I also made a Christmas card
using the same shaker style card
as one of my projects for the design team
for Too Cute by Jessica.
I love how both of these cards turned out.

Bee Mine Valentine's Day card

Now Christmas is over and done with
it's time to start thinking about
Valentine's Day and Easter!
This card was made using the
'Bee Mine Bee' file from
Too Cute by Jessica.
I changed it to a standing up bee
so that it would fill my card.

Your project can be of anything to do with
Christmas and you do not need to use
a Too Cute by Jessica file

My project as one of the design team members
is this gift card holder I made using the
I enlarged it so the present was big enough to
hold a gift card and then made a simple
library envelope so I could slide the gift card
into it. I punched out 1 of the
red spots so the gift card was easier to grab
once it was fully inserted.

Thanks for looking.
