"Snow Song"

Good Morning Everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend! We sure did! We didn't do anything real spectacular, just pretty much hung around the house, got caught up on some chores, and watched a couple of movies! It is so nice to have some down time!

This creation is for The Latte Lounge July Monthly Challenge! This is Week 4, the final week and the twist is to use Non-Traditional Colors (No Red or Green)! If you haven't been following along... Here is the full challenge as it has progressed over the month...

Christmas/Holiday Theme + Die Cuts or Punches + Snow + Non-Traditional Colors

I thought it would be easy to do the non-traditional colors; but it sure wasn't!!! I hope you will come on over and join us at The Latte Lounge for this awesome challenge! You can create cards with any of the four recipes and still be entered for some awesome prizes. We will be adding Digi Design House, DtsArt, & Stamping With Brenda, to the existing list of sponsors! So that means all together we have NINE sponsors... The Stamping Boutique, In A Scrap Creation, JLJ Designs, Glitterbabe Digi's, Stitchy Bear Stamps, Freshly Brewed Designs, Digi Design House, DtsArt, & Stamping With Brenda. Wowzer... That is a lot of prizes to given away!

As you can see, I used an image from The Stamping Boutique called Chubby Snowman. Isn't he just the cutest? I thought so, I just couldn't resist!
