If you will send me an e-mail with your address I will get your candy out to you. Congratulations!

Today’s card helps with some relief from the heat as it reminds us that winter and snow is not far away. I combined 2 challenges with today’s card. The first one was a sketch challenge from 365 Cards. They have a daily challenge hence the name 365 Cards. This is also Art Glitter week so you can use glitter on their challenges this week as an added bonus. I have lots of glitter and it has been a while since I have used it I decided to try this challenge today and will try and do it every day if I can work it in.

The other challenge was from the Caardvarks blog. You had to create a new Winter themed card – holiday cards, snowmen, snowflakes, whatever reminds you of the Winter season. With the heat we have had the past few days I thought this would be fun to do and hopefully bring a little relief. Here is the sketch and my creation.
