For this hop we were given a sketch, created by our very own Melissa Cash, to use for our project. I made two snow related cards for this hop. I am quite envious of those in other areas of the country that are snowed in. I love snow!
Here is the sketch:
And here is my first card made with the Color Challenge colors from last week. I love Pink, Chocolate and Ivory together. I used one of my favorite winter sets, Winter Friends to make this one. And added lots of texture with embossing folders.
For my second card I used Melanie's new set Mugs and Kisses.
This is most fabulous set ever sold in Gina's store. Seriously, you need to get this set! :p)
I am a coffee fanatic. Not just drinking it, but also collecting things related to coffee. I have so many Starbucks mugs. I just love collecting them. So many cool designs. And now, I can create any kind of mug I want to. Oh yeah!!!! Very cool!!! I decided to add a lot of blink to this one as well. I love the faux adhesive back brads and there are so many colors available now. I couldn't resist adding a ton of mini brads to the snowflakes. So fun! You can click on the image to get a closer view.
Now head on over to
Miesje's blog
to see what amazing project she has to share with you. And remember to make it a great weekend!

Both your cards are wonderful. I love all the embellishments. I can't begin to imagine how long it took to add the mini brads to the tips of the snowflakes! Don't be too envious of the snow -- we've already had more snow in 3 days than we did last year in the first 3 months!

I adore both cards, but am inspired just a teeny bit more by the Mugs & Kisses card! Perhaps that's because I just got that new set out of my mailbox this week and am ready to play! :-) Wonderful cards, and great color combinations. Thanks for sharing your cards.
