DawnÂ’s challenge is here. WeÂ’re to start with a printed note card and add to it. This is so quick and easy and works great to help fill that soldier box of Christmas cards so they can send it back home.
-I stamped the snowman on sticker paper and cut it out minus the arms.
-Stamped only the arms on the card and lined up the sticker snowman to the stamped lines.
-I colored in the cardinal and the snowmanÂ’s hat and scarf with markers, added some Stickles and itÂ’s a done card.
My friend called this a cheater card! IÂ’ve done so many of these in the past by recycling Christmas cards but it doesnÂ’t have to be a holiday image or scene and the soldiers are just happy you are thinking of them and their families.

Oh, how perfect!! This reminds me of a book my son loved filled with snowy photos with just a pop of red in each shot. Can't remember the name but it was so awesome. Beautiful work, Rox. So creative.
