Winter Snowflakes

Hi everyone!  Micki here with our newest challenge details. 
Hope everyone is staying warm this winter.  It does seem to be a colder winter season than the previous couple of years, at least here in the Midwest.  And as much as everyone is eagerly anticipating Spring, we thought it a perfect time to challenge you to see the beauty in Winter Snowflakes.  I know I'm hearing some grumbles but seriously, gently falling Winter Snowflakes are beautiful.  
So the challenge is to create a project with a Winter Snowflakes theme. 
It can be a layout, a card, canvas....
anything as long as there are 
Winter Snowflakes 
somewhere in your project.  
Use Stickles to depict snowflakes, perhaps a layout with fun in the snow pictures, or a canvas with heavy bodied paint to replicate snow covered hills... see where I'm going with this?

Now let's see what the rest of the Sistah's came up with....


first up, a very warm welcome to our January Stepsister
Olga Bester (Elephant Fairies)







Now it's your turn to show us your projects with Winter Snowflakes.


Deadline to enter:
You have until Sunday, February 2nd - 8:00 P.M. (EST).

"Out with the Old, In with the New"

For my creation, the flower embellishments were made with my new product, 
the Flourish Flox dies by Memory Box.

My used some old designer paper, twine and a chipboard tag that I have had for literally 5-6 years! I just bought the Envelope Punch board from We R memory keepers and used that for the first time. I love it! I made this matchbox little gift box with it.

I used some new stamps.  The ink splashs and the inside Happy Birthday greeting is from Neat & Tangled and the Keep Calm greeting is from Technique Tuesday.
