"Frosty Hug"

Good Morning Everyone! I am back... I am kicking this colds butt! Yay! LOL! Today's creation is serving several purposes! First off it is for a new challenge group I have found... Suzanne J. Dean's Scrapbitz Copic Ning Group Challenge . What an interest challenge she has going on until December 29, 2010. I have never done a challenge quite like this, you take different elements from some pictures she had chose and then create a project or card from it. She has some other criteria to follow, it really made me think! I like that... a new perspective on things! (One of my goals for 2011!) In order to make this creation, I used the Mojo Monday Sketch 168 . They fit together perfectly! With all of my other commitments the past few months, I did not have a chance to make any handmade Christmas Cards! Can you believe that? LOL! So this is serving that purpose too! Anyways, onto the materials...
