Snowmen at Crafty Ribbons ...............

Hi everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I've got a few days off this week as it is half term to spend with Grace so we have some busy days ahead.  We are off to an animal farm tomorrow, a dinsosaur park on Friday and a Halloween Fairy Fair on Saturday.  I think I may need a rest by Sunday lol! 

Anyway onto my card, our challenge over at Crafty Ribbons this week is 'Snowmen'  so I nice easy challenge if you are as keen on snowmen as I am!  I decided to give one of my cd's an airing and use this sweet image from the Christmas Moonbeam Meadow by Crafter's Companion. I've added some LOTV papers, memory box snowflakes and some gorgeous Snowmen Combo Festive Ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

I hope you will come along and join in with the Challenge.

I have my crafty ribbons DT make to share with you today and our theme for you this time is 'Christmas Ribbon and Dies'  I have used some stunning new ribbon called Merry Christmas Baubles and some beautiful Scarlet lace which are both from new Christmas Charm on my embroidery hoop.  I used a die to cut the flower on my hoop out of felt. If you have not tried cutting felt with your dies I would urge you to give it a go as it cuts like butter with most dies!
