Winter Wishes

I couldn't resist this challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room!

So many gorgeous displays of inspiration from the design team.  I love every one of them!  I don't often use just white/cream/neutrals on a card, but I'm happy how this one turned out.  We were also to use silver and glitter...how fun!  I started with a different focal point in mind, but went with these lovely snowflakes. The snowflakes were placed on circle chipboard and dimensionals.  Silver liquid pearls were added around the edge and in the center.  Burlap and doily behind the center snowflake and silver frame encasing it.   And, speaking of snowflakes, we got some of the white stuff yesterday.  Uh huh, winter has arrived!

Here is the beautiful inspiration photo!

Looking at those ice skates bring back fun memories for me! 

 As children, we used to go to the park and ice skate.  Mom would have warm hot chocolate waiting for us when we returned home.  Whenever my husband or son snowblows the driveway, I have warm hot chocolate waiting for them.  The snow may be cold and blustery at times...brrrr....but isn't it fun to come back inside to a delicious warm hot chocolate...yummm!  I hope your winter is off to a good start.  May it be a safe and happy one!  Take care and thanks so much for stopping by, hugs!
