FF23jkanack - Fall or winter card, include a REAL postage stamp as embellishment
For my card, I used the Spellbinders mailbox die cut and cut out all the pieces using paper scraps. I stamped 2 different Santa postage stamps and added a real celebrate postage stamp.
The clouds were sponged on the base, then the postal box was added and a couple of dimensionals were added to the door of the postal box.
FF23annsforte3 - Peeking snowman - peek him/her out of a snowbank, window, etc
I hand drew my snowman and colored him with copics. For the eyes I added some white highlights with a gel pen and his hat was finished with a few stacked snowflakes and stickles.
I would love it if you would check out my Blog: Shoe Girls Cards.
Thank you for looking!

For the first time in my life, I have a mailbox like this one. It's not out at the street like most of them, it's right next to the house on a pole. It's great because I do get some packages...really, Jean, you do? Those are awesome dies and so cute to have the stamps bursting out of the box. Thanks, Lisa!

What a fabulous card! At first, I was confused by the description because Ann's challenge description was included. I kept looking for a snowman, then realized the last part of the description was for a different card.
