What a damp and drizzly day... anyone would think it was mid-November!
For this simple little card I used PI Gorjuss Girl 'Puddles of Love' and coloured her with Promarkers. I clear embossed some tiny snowflakes on white card and then I got all inky with Ditress inks and my much loved Hero Arts Swirls stamp. The big snowflake is from Marianne D Creatables and I added a gem and plenty of Stickles. 
I had aimed to stitch around the card, but had stuck everything together before I realised... doh!I would have preferred stitching but I think the Stickles looks ok.
I really like this image and can't believe that she has been sitting unused in my stash for so long. However, this does mean that she qualifies for the Oldie but Goodie Challenge 'Let it Snow'!
Other challenges are Crafty Catz Snowflakes, Die Cuts at Frosted Designs, Totally Gorjuss Swirly Whirly and there's oodles of cuteness required for the Winter Wonderland Challenge.
For the Whoopsi Daisy Challenge it's those Colours of Winter.
Finally, it's Anything goes Week at One Stitch at a Time.
Well, I must go and tackle the ironing now. I've done so much housework today that for once the house is gleaming like a new pin and I feel strangely pleased with myself.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!
