Snow Much Fun

It's Saturday!!  That means it's time for another challenge from Di's Digi Designs.

The challenge this time is:  Snow Much Fun
And here is my card for your inspiration:

I used this image with two little cuties out in the snow.  I added a lot of "snow" with my patterned paper die cut snowflakes and even on my "buttons".  The buttons are die cuts and have been in my bits and pieces stash for several years.  I don't know why sometimes you can't see a way of using something and then a different time, it seems to be a perfect fit.  But, I'm glad it worked out this time.

I created a matching envelope to go along with it.  The penguin on the outside is just a fun little tease of what will be in the inside.

To all the little snowflakes in the image I added some super fine glitter; it adds a great touch of sparkle to the image along with the blue rhinestones in the bottom left.

I hope you will get a chance to play along with us; I can't wait to see what you create.  And make sure you hop over to the Di's Digital Designs blog to see what the rest of the team has made for this challenge.
