This is a simple - no weird techniques - happy holiday card to send to the cancer center for the HYCCT1415 "warm and cozy" challenge. Even though snowmen are technically kind of cold, they always give me that warm and cozy feeling. They are so happy with their big smiles and cozy scarves. This one is colored with copics and fussy cut. For the WT502 I heat embossed the white dots on the horizontal panel and dry embossed the white panel with a snow flake ef. The colors are for the CC501, except the coastal cabana substitute is a little too blue. I used the SC511 layout and the sentiment is computer generated. TFL, Francie

Adorable, Francie! I love your snowman with his warm and cozy scarf. Your use of this week's colors is so imaginative! I would never have thought about making a snowman tan-ish, but it works perfectly! Great card!

What an adorable snowman! Your red and kraft colour scheme works amazingly well for a winter card! That blue heart and star really bring the focus down to your 'man. Love the striped ribbon and bow too!

My face broke out into a huge smile when I opened this up! I LOVE that sweet snowman and it didn't even occur to me that he was "tannish" until I read Barbara's comment...:-) Did you draw this guy? Love his scarf and him looking out of the heart shaped frame... What a wonderful Christmas card for someone to receive!

Oh, Francie, this is darling! I just love snowmen too, and you've really made a great color challenge card with this too! Now, you know there are no REAL color police, right? Hehe!! If there were, I'd been in trouble! Just love your beautiful coloring, great layout, and wonderful fussy cutting (so worth it)! Hugs, sweet friend!
