Creative Inspirations - Walking Along in a Winter Wonderland

Good Morning Everyone! Today is Wednesday which means only 1 thing a FAB new challenge over on Creative Inspirations our New theme is Winter Wonderland. Now I struggled with this as I didn't want to make a card..........I knew what I wanted & it didnt turn out right so off it went into the bin & then on attempt 7 this came together, still not what I had in mind BUT I liked it!

My card stock is a lovely powerdy blue from the paper mill, aceat has been embossed with cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder, ribbon from my stash, Winter scene & Tilda ice-skating are both Magnolia & have been colored with Pro Markers. On the top of the box is a BIG snowflake which was cut with Cuttlebug die & COVERED with Stardust Stickles.
Inside the box is a little bag with Chocolate Snowballs. Once you have eaten the snowballs I thought it might then be used to add a little batery operated tea-light candle......what do you think??

I'm entering my box into a few other challenges too, which are:
Totally Tilda - Icy Colors
Bunny Zoe's - Christmas NOT a card
Sir Stampalot - Christmas Traditions, snowball fights & ice-skating is VERY traditional!

Tilda with Snowflakes - which one do you prefer?

Hey Peeps!

How are we all today? I feel better but still sneezing.....so fingers crossed this is me on the mend! I have 2 cards to share with you this morning...I had an idea in my head & I made the 2nd card on this post first....it didn't really come out how I'd like so I had a 2nd go at it....and I MUCH prefer the 2nd attempt........what do you think??

This is the 2nd attempt, I used a scalloped card blank, card stock from paper mill, white card & blue scalloped frame have been embossed with Cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder. Sentiment is a stamp by Hero Arts & snowflakes are cut with an X-Cut punch and covered with Stardust stickles with jewels in the centre.

This is the first attempt card stock from paper mill, embossed with snowflakes embossing folder, sentiment is one of those FABBY 99p sets & X-Cut snowlakes again covered with stickles!!(Of Course!!)
I like the 2nd attempt best as I like Tilda's ress better being all white, & I like the smaller frame, like I say I'd like to know which one you prefer......

I'm entering this into the Just Magnolia Anything Goes Challenge.

I'm off to see if I can make anything else for today, maybe see you's later. To get you into the Saturday Spirit I'm gonna leave you with my most current Favourite tune...
