I cannot believe how long it has been since I last posted a card. I have been busy trying to get some Christmas cards done so I can send some out this year. I felt so badly, last year not one card went out. I have seen alot of you making gorgeous shaker cards...love them! So I thought I would try my hand at making them as well. I love how it turned out. I took a favourite LOTV image and and placed some snow inside the circle, so that when you shake it up it appears to be snowing! I coloured this image with prismas and even added lots of glitter to the snowman, snow and the brim of the hats! Gotta love glitter!
Now lets hope it does not snow for a little while longer, I am not a big fan of the white stuff...love making snowy cards but not winter weather...I'm 100% a summer girl!
Have a wonderful day!

Hi Chris,
Nice to see you back in blogland, the days all melt into one when you are busy don't they?
I too have been making lots of Christmas Cards (have done 88 so far, so quite pleased).
Last year I made all my OWN cards to send out and then my Daughter took them to work and I did a Christmas Fair and they were all gone....That meant I had none to give out and ended up making them far too quickly and I got fed up. Won't fall into that trap this year.
Your shaker card is delightful, gorgeous image.

gorgeous card Christine .... love that LOTV image too!
Lovely to see a card again and what a beauty. Love Christmas cards and the shaker is such fun.
So glad to see you back with a new creation Christine, it's beautiful! Love your subtle colors and your coloring, just lovely! Your snow circle looks super too, great card! I know you are a "summer" girl, but your winter cards are soooo nice! Hope all is well, big hugs, J:)
Christine, what a sweet winter scene. Love the soft colours. That shade of green on your beautiful DP's looks fab--mint green? Your colouring is as superb as ever--and now you make me want to colour a few images with coloured pencils too...LOL. And I have to start concentrating on Christmas cards too--my inventory is too low right now.
Hugs,
Norma
A gorgeous shaker card, Christine, and superb colouring and lovely papers too! It's always so lovely to see your work! Hugs, Lesley
I don't know what happened to my original comment, but your card is so cute and even better in person.
Aloha Christine, just a fly by to say hello and see what you have been up to. You must be very busy! Hope all is well, thinking of you! Hugs, J:)
A really adorable winter-card. You used so wonderful soft colors. Fantastic !
