Krafty Mr Snowman

Hello lovely people,

It's a bank holiday weekend here in the UK so I am making the most of it!
I was once again sampling some tasty beers at a beer festival yesterday and the weather was pretty good for it; fairly warm and no rain - hurrah!
I started today with a lovely cooked breakfast, which powered me through cleaning the bathroom, and then I've been doing some colouring.

Speaking of colouring, I do have a card for you and today I'm showcasing some LOTV products as part of the Design Collective.  I'm still on a roll with my Christmas cards so here's number 3...


I added die cut snowflakes under the ribbon to create a border effect.



I liked this design so much that I did another version with a few little twists, using different DP, twine instead of ribbon and a different tag sentiment.

Version 2.0 also has a little line of Stickles on the snow and since it looked good, I went back and added it to the first one after the photos were taken!



Do you have a favourite?  I still can't decide which I like best!

Either way I can say for sure that I love this cute snowman and he is sure to feature on a few more Christmas cards this year!

    They're both fab Kat, great layout and I love the snowflake border. The first one just pips the post as my favourite as I love red gingham.

    Well I think both are fabulous Kat... I don't think I can choose a favourite - your colouring is perfect on both too!

    Glad you enjoyed yourself on Saturday - I thought you may have a bit of a head on Sunday morning after spending the day at the beer festival... you did look comfy there!
