However, today is Challenge 23 at the CCC where Lorraine chose Snowmen for this one. If the weather forecasts are right we will all be building snowmen very soon. The image I used for my card today was from Joanna Sheen CD called Christmas Creations by Giordano. I love the image and chose to make a frame and embossed it through the A4 swiss dots folder. I used Iced Snow and Diamond Sprinkles to create the snow, but sadly it is not showing very well. I also put it on the winter arrangement and in reality it looks so lovely and twinkly.
Not many more challenges to go now and that is scary. I am actually half way through my Christmas shopping and not really got much more to buy. Grandchildren get cash now as they all want to choose their own styles etc. Andrew has a new date for his op on the 12th November, so hopefully it goes ahead this time. Love & Hugs Rita xxxx

what a fun and fabulous card Rita - I love this - big hugs to you! Rachel x
So beautiful Rita! I have that CD and grab it to use when I haven't got a certain stamp or digital image - so it comes in handy now and again!
I have severe die envy after seeing the beautiful flower and foliage too. I thought it was just me that had problems photographing sparkle lol! Hope the weather is kind to you and the NHS even kinder and they don't mess you around again, grr, know how that feels! Karen x

Another bunch of happy Snowmen. I think we have all done ourselves proud with Lorraine's theme.
hugs Mrs A.
Hi Rita
Fabulous card love the cute Snowmen
Hugs Sylvie xx
Rita, definitely bright & merry with this colorful snowman group. Love all the additional items you've added to make such a lovely card, and liked the floral & foliage treatment very much. Ditto the numeral trimming. Good to hear a new schedule has been set & praying all will go smoothly. Mr. is going to be monitored for 4 months to see if his problem improves sans surgery, so he's happy with that. I'm hoping this will help. TFS & Big hugs.
A delightful and cherry Christmas card. Love those snowmen. So...cute! Love the blue color for Christmas. A great change from traditional red and green. TFS...
Hugs back at cha...Leanne
