I had so much fun creating this trio of cards.  

All of my cards are on a 5 X 5 white card base.  I dug through my box of Christmas papers and found these matching pieces.  I used the assembly line method and cut the backgrounds first.  I added two rectangles on each card base and mounted them on Lemon Lime Twist card stock.  

I stamped the snowmen in Memento black ink.  The stamp is from Artistic Outpost Frosty and Friends.  I trimmed the stamped image and added a background in Lemon Lime Twist card stock.   I used colored pencils to color the scarves and mittens.  

The sentiments were cut using the Lawn Fawn Winter Big Scripty word dies.  I cut "Be Jolly" and "Be Merry" four times and added Glossy Accents for lots of shine. 

Enamel Dots were added on all the cards. Each one has a personality of it's own.  I hope these make your smile! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!

The hop is hosted by the fabulous Kelly Lunceford's blog, so head over there to start from the beginning.

ENJOY the blog hop!  I hope we inspired you to make a few cards, too!

HUGS!
