Winter Birthday

Happy Friday and Happy New Year!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Favorite Die/Set

Here is my card for your inspiration:

I used a couple of my favorite dies/sets on this one.  My absolute favorite die (or at least the one that I use the most) is the stitched rectangle die from the My Favorite Things set "Blueprints 13".  I also used the curved tag shape from the same set.  One of my other favorite sets is the large snowflake die in the background from Papertrey Ink.  This whole card came about because of the cute little snowman.  I created him for a previous project and didn't end up using him.  But he was just too cute to leave sitting on my desk!  So, I pulled out some papers with reds and some other colors and created this fun, winter, birthday card.  The little polaroid frame die is from Taylored Expressions and I was gifted it quite a while ago.  I had not had a chance to play with it until this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
