Here is my project for this challenge:

Aren't these just the cutest images?  Heather so generously donated these cutie pies for us to use for the Snow Challenge and I decided to make some small note cards with them.  I love the themes of them and wish I could have got them all shown on one picture.  They are all colored with copics and Close to My Heart markers, the paper is from the Christmas pack from DCWV and the buttons and twine are from Close to My Heart.  I added Stickles everywhere and used my Spica Glitter pen to add some shine as well.

I so love this one, Mr. Fresh Brewed!  I do love me some coffee and this image just makes me happy!

This sweetie made me think of the Gingerbread House I did this year for the store.

And I call this on my Postal Santa!  Everyone needs to get those cards and packages out in the mail pretty soon!  Way too cute, aren't they?  

I would love to see what you come up with for a snow project!  Take a stop over at the Pause,  Dream, Enjoy Blog and see what my inspiring designing buddies have come up with for you and go over and see Heather at Fresh Brewed Designs and take a look at her fabulous designs!  I wouldn't steer your wrong!

Come play with us!

Here's my project I created for this challenge:

I just love that song, Baby it's cold outside and this Santa Baby snow woman reminded me of that!  Me, I love the hot weather but I don't have any control over the snow that will undoubtedly end up covering Ohio sometime this year.  

This fabulous sassy babe is Santa Baby and she's from Fresh Brewed Designs.  Isn't she something?  Love her and Heather is absolutely fabulous over there!  She's colored with my copics and I've added some white Flower Soft and Stickles to her hat and dress and on the ground around her.  The flowers, papers, gems and lace are all from my stash, but I've had the flowers a while and totally forgot about them!  Come on and show us your stash!  

Hope you enjoy her and can't wait to see what treasures you have lurking in your stash!

Here is my ORANGE & BROWN project:

This is Scotty Scarecrow and I think he's fabulous!  He's colored with my new Close to My Heart Markers and I love them!  I used a little bit of Stickles on his hair and collar and some Glossy Accents on his eyes.  The papers are from the Autumn and Halloween DCWV stack and the baubles are from my stash.  I used Wild Honey Distressed Inks around him and on the inside and cut him out with Nestabilities.

Here is a peek of the inside and here's the complete inside.  

Make sure to stop by the Pause Dream Enjoy Blog and see what my other crafting buddies have come up with.  There's lots of inspiration there, that's for sure!  I'd love to see your take on the Orange and Brown Challenge.

Prize: Buffalo Springs Stamp Set

Here's the NIGHT project I made...

Isn't she just gorgeous?  This is Little  Honey's Mummy by Sassy Studio Designs and I think she's perfect for a night walker!  I used her and made a small envelope that is perfect for a gift card, party invitation, or some small treats for someone.

 I love her face!  She's colored with Spectrum Noir markers and has Stickles on her wrap and Glossy Accents on her lips.  The paper is from Immortal Love from DCWV and the flowers are from Recollections.  The bakers twine and gems are from my stash.  

 I've tried to show her from the sides so you can see the dimensions of the envelope.  I attached her to the top flap and instead of using something like velcro to magnets to keep the envelope shut, I used the bakers twine.

I used a piece of cardstock to hide the side and bottom seam.  I just love this glittery dark paper and how it just shines!

  Make sure to stop by our Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge blog and see what my oh so talented Design Team buddies have in store for you.  They never disappoint!  And play along and show us your night!

Prize: Custom Tile

Here's what I made for this challenge:

Isn't she fabulous and powerful?  She is Wonder Regan and she's from Sassy Studio Designs.  I'm so excited to show her off and to be a new member of the super talented and so generous of spirit Design Team of Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge!  Make sure you stop over and take a look at all of the fun and inspiring projects they all have worked up for you!

Since Dizzy Lizzy Creations does some gorgeous tiles, I thought I'd do a moziac themed card for you.  I've colored Wonder Regan with copic markers and used Stickles all over her!  I added some gold Smooch to the stars and my Clear Star Jelly Roll pen on her magic rope.  She's cut out using my nestabilities and I used distressed ink in Wild Honey.  The papers are from Bewitched by DCWV and Paper Pizzaz.  The gems are from my stash.

Here is a side view of my card.

Doesn't she have the most gorgeous and determined look on her face?  I think she could do some serious crime fighting!  My good friend, Judy, is on vacation, but I'm showing my insides for her to see when she gets back.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Make sure to stop by our Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge Blog and see what my designing buddies have in store for you.  I know you won't be dissappointed!  And while you're there, join our challenge and show us your purple and orange!
