Winter Wonderland :-)

Happy New Year's Eve!!  




Wishing you an abundance of blessings for the New Year - 2013 is just hours away and I pray that the year ahead brings you many good things!

I have a two-fold card today - both the Calendar Girls and the Crafters of Faith cards were 'snow much fun' winter wonderland cards so I managed to fit both challenges into one card!  Yay me!
I found this gorgeous picture on the web and wish this was my backyard! 
 I asked the Calendar Girls to use this photo as their muse this month:


 and my card:


 and the inside of the card:



 and since the Crafters of Faith are to make a card using snow and glitter/glitz to bring in the New Year, I added lots of white shimmery glitter to the snow!
I used the SU! set Sleigh Bells Ring and kept the blue color through-out the card theme including with the ink (love that Marina Mist!) Of course I had to decorate my card inside and use some buttons to finish it up! :)

Please be sure to visit the Crafters of Faith AND the Calendar Girls and you can find them on my side-bar - they have been quite crafty this month and have "snow much" to share with you! 

Big hugs,
Bigger Blessings and
Happy New Year!
~Kelly

  16. The colors on this card are so fun. The lighter hues are still in tune with the holiday and give a snowy feel. You even channeled your inner Carol with the glitter.
