Winter Birthday Card

It's still winter and several challenges have themes of snowmen, snow, and winter celebrations.  This card looks simple, although it did take a bit of work, and I like how it came out.

The snowman was cut from Cricut's A Quilted Christmas; the  Birthday sign was cut from the Phrases cartridge and modified slightly so it would look like it was flying from the pole (toothpick).  The large snowflakes are from a Martha Stewart punch and they are decorated with some rhinestones and diamond stickles.  The stickles also add touches to the snow.  The background paper is a leftover from some Christmas paper.

I am entering this little guy in the following challenges:
Cupcake Inspirations - snowmen
Bitten By The Bug 2 - Frosty the Snowman
Whimsical Wednesday at Whimsical Designs- Winter Wonderland - Sparkle and 1 or more snowflakes
Crafts with Cutters at My Papercrafting - Chilly Celebration

Happy Creating.

Mini books & Button Fairies

Hi!  Again, even though I haven't been writing here I have been working.  Two new fun things I'm doing are one-sheet mini books which are so easy to create.  It takes longer to decorate them than to make them.  No pictures of them yet so here's my other recent delight -- button fairies.

My first button fairy.  The theme was holiday of choice for a swap at paperfollies. Since Halloween is so near...

The next one I made was for Winter:
