Focus on Sentiment

Here Comes Frosty

Watch out Rudolph...Here comes Frosty. This Frosty snowman is more than able to help guide Santa's sleigh. I created this easel project with the Cricut and Close To My Heart Stamps. After the card is constructed a "tea light" is placed through the nose through the back of the card.

Single Layer cards

Less is More has a "single layer" challenge going on this week. I absolutely love layers so creating a card with no layers was truly a challenge for me. Once I got started I absolutely had a blast. I'm glad to be able to add single layer cards to my creative arsenal.
