A Winter's Day



Brrrr!   I know the cold has hit much of our country and many are ready for a bit of warmth.    I must say that winter is my least favorite time of the year.   Now, that being said, I just had to create a tile care with this gorgeous Sticky Bear image.   Our Challenge at The Outlawz: Twisted Thursday is always an Anything Goes theme and our optional twist is - Snowflakes.

Our fabulous sponsors for this month are Sherri Baldy with her wonderful Besties images and my go to place for paper.... The Paper Temptress!  It is a great challenge to check out!

CMC: Anything Goes Challenge

Who doesn't like to kick up their heels every now and then?   That is what I did when I heard that our challenge at CMC was going to be an "ANYTHING GOES".    It is always 
my favorite! :D    



Your challenge this time is all about
~ANYTHING GOES~
THE PRIZE FOR THIS CHALLENGE IS:
ONE $10 Gift Certificate to any Digi Store of your choosing


This is a card I created with a wonderful My Besties digital image by Sherri Baldy.  This will be a perfect one for Valentine's Day!    Talk about an adorable face!   
I colored my  focal image with Copic alcohol ink markers.   Used a spellbinder die in the upper right hand corner and my Cameo for the branch with leaves in the bottom.     This was so much fun to create.   I used a Copic marbleized background.    
I am linking this card to the following challenges:

This is the card I created using this adorable Besties image.   Aren't they just as cute as can be in their little hats?    LOL

The sentiment was hand written and I attached a coordinating button with twine.
