Playing with Snowflakes

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've been trying to clean up some of the stack left on my table.

Both of these were made from some gel plate pieces that had been stenciled
with Wendy Vecchi stenciling paste.


First up has some Penny Black snowflakes cut from Glimmer Paper on
a piece of stenciled snowflakes.

I'll take this over to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.


Next up uses another piece cut from this background with some stitched 
snowflakes from Poppystamps.  I'll enter this one into the Poppystamps Challenge.
And I'll take my new Stitched Snowflake dies over to Darnell's NBUS challenge.

I have celebrated the holidays with bright lights, lots of tasty goodies, making, 
sending and receiving Christmas cards (and now thank you cards), and most importantly,
spending time with family and friends.

Most wonderful 'clean up' and collection of snowflakes I've had the pleasure of seeing, Bonnie! If only it were this easy to send the real ones elsewhere!
So beautiful!
