Had some leftover polka dot paper from my last project and used it for a christmas card. i'm such a bore with my choice of colours sometimes, kept sticking to red and green for christmas. truth is, you can always use other colours for christmas cards from pastel to turquoise!
I must say that one good item is all you need sometimes. i bought these snowflakes (it comes in a roll) at a shop in Genk, Belgium. and all i can say is it was worth the buy! one can do tonnes with them. dressing them up differently, on different backgrounds and with different emblishments.
Used some felt ribbon, tied a knot and slide the flake in and simply let it hang. if they are not in place, perhaps you can use a tad bit of sticky tape and tape it on the card.
I reckon you wont need more than 10 mins for this card. seriously! lets see.. who shall i give this one to?!?

btw, in response to your comment - i cant help it Zaza; your crafts are always very very nice and the colours/patterns/designs you choose are all to my liking. it's like i would trust you to pick my wedding dress sort of thing haha. i could be wrong but i think we may have similar taste?

Hello Zaza, you sure a very talented and innovative lady.
That cushions, motifs are really pretty.
By the way, as I type this, its snowing here.
There's lots of snow outside now, all white, house rooftops, trees...and more snow on the way.
The snow has turned to solid icebergs so when we gostan our cars got to watch out don't hit the frozen snowbank, like hitting a brick wall.
Its at this time we see lots of cars with bengkok exhust pipes, ha ha.
As my car, a Lincoln 18 1/2 feet long, I get my wife to come down stand behind jaga I don't hit the frozen snow and bend my twin pipes, ha ha.
You keep well, ada time drop in for coffee and donuts. Lee.
WOW! Z ... your craft ideas are getting more creative with each thought and the results are knocking each other off competitive display shelves. You have to consider going commercial-lah. Seriously. Otherwise, not fair to those of us stuck with having to buy from HM and ML. I write business plan for you?? Got a lot of time these days with patah kaki. LOL! Even if you don't want to make the cards and crafts, you can jual your ideas. Talent should not remain hidden, Z.
Z... so excited, I published my earlier comment without sending some hugs. HUGS!
Zaza, like others i am admiring your masterpiece. Just like Wiz you are perfecting your craft by the day. Keep up the great work Zaza. Can't wait to see your next card? I am stil waiting for the snow to fall in Manchester. Last year it only snowed for two days in Leeds. it was great because at that time i stayed in front of a large park. So i got the chance to play and dance in the snow like a small kid! Has the snow started to fall in Sittard?
abbey: oh stop it! hahaha. well, i'm tryin hard to get better.. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt! somehow the best time for me to work is at night just before going to bed!!
tw: i'm a broken record too by saying, thank you, thank you and thank you!!

and thanks ever so much for the donuts and coffee. coffee was so good, i finished them all, eventhough i dont take coffee! hope there's plenty more to come!
rita: you know what i'd do if i come and see you with that cast, i'd probably hang some bells and write "jingle" on them. put some ribbons on, draw some snowflakes.. haha. how's the kaki doing? hope you'll be up and running soon after you've come up with my business plan. seriously, i know of only one way to sell my stuff. and i really need help! my sister said the same thing, sell the ideas! being an accountant she always think of money money money, how to make money and how to save money! should i start charging? hmm...
wrap warm you hear me! keep well and here's sending you a big hug and sleighs full of love rita!
salina: hope you received my email regarding the cards and your tok. hope you're getting enough sleep and keeping youself well.
thank you, as always, for words of encouragements dear. somehow you can tell the sincerity of people in here just by the words they choose to type. i do agree with you that wiz is getting better by the hour! just look at her stuff!!! her cakes looks too good to be eaten!
i cant wait for it to snow here as well! it snowed quite a lot last year but aidan was just a few months, so he didnt actually feel the snow. we stay near a huge park and a huge lake, even the lake was frozen and people could actually skate on them! i dont think it'll snow in sittard on christmas, perhaps after the new year. but we'll be in warwick for christmas and next sale! hopefully it'll snow there!!!
