WWC48 Heidi's "Anything Goes with snow"

This week Heidi challenge was an anything goes with the condition it had to have snow in it. Since I was woorking ahead on our challenges I was able to use thee tag part on my card for my neighbor Christmas gifts.

Silver snowflakes on the vellum as well as a snowy landscape covers the challenge.

WWC47 Marsha's Color Challenge

This week Marsha gave us this color pallet to work with for our challenge at Watercooler Wednesday.

Lots of blues and grays!  Here is my card for the challenge.

I used a retired Stampin'Up! embossing folder and a retired phrase, everything that I had that wasn't retired just didn't seem to work. Square or rectangle shaker cards are easy to make, just use the outside border on your dimensionals.

Check out what the artists at Watercooler Wednesday have created then get the blue going, be sure to link you project at http://watercoolerchallenges.blogspot.ca/
