This is the second part of the project I started last week. In my second Smash Book page, I used the "Mitten Shaker Card" and sentiment and snowflakes from "Fun with Frosty" printable file. Both provided by our sponsor The Cutting Cafe. The girl in the picture is, again, my daughter Sofi, freezing at Niagara Falls, with huge mittens to protect her hands.


This is the picture of both pages set in my Smash Book.


For this week I decided to recycle a gift bag. For this I used the file Snowman Shaker Card, from The Cutting Cafe, and now I have a new gift bag for christmas presents.


To decorate my box I used Snowman Shaker from The Cutting Cafe.





KEMLY.



For this week I made a card with the Snowman from Fun with Frosty the snowman printable stamp set from our sponsor The Cutting Cafe. 
 



I used the colour palette in my project.  Nice day!


 I used the Mitten Shaker card from The Cutting Cafe, and Christmas Colored Banners to make the mitten background, and some snowflakes from Fun with Frosty the Snowman to pattern the mitten outline.
I chose backing papers to fit the colour theme, they were the closest I could get to it.
The mitten is tucked into a pocket on the card.....


....so that it can be taken out to hang on the tree!

Inside the card.



See the Christmas banners - I used the coloured versions.


I used the offcut from the centre of the mitten outline to decorate the inside of the mitten ornament.

Here it is hanging up, I don't have my tree up yet to show you on a tree.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Anna used the colour combo, and said " I finally decided to make a vintage card, hope that it's ok? The color combo is really awesome, I would probably never use it that way if it wouldn't be for this challenge LOL But it looks really good!" 
Anna, your card is awesome too!

We want to welcome Myriam to our Design Team.

I made a gift bag with Mitten Shaker card from our sponsor The Cutting Cafe!









This is a two parts project. This is the first and it is page for my Nostalgia Smash Book made with the funny Snowman Shaker Card provided by our sponsor. The sentiment and the snowflakes are from the file Fun with Frosty, also provided by The Cutting Cafe. The girl in the picture is my daughter Sofi, having fun in the snow. Next week you will see this project complete.

I used the Snowman Shaker card set in PDF format, and cut it out by hand, badly as you can see. I also used Fun with Frosty the Snowman to put the sentiment in his tummy.






Hi everyone! Today for my project I used Mitten Shaker.  From our sponsor The Cutting Cafe.
