Of course I fell in love with the bottom left photo because of the SNOWMAN, and also the red heart balloon as it's almost Valentines Day. I had a pkg of SU! dsp laying out for a while now, planning to use it for something that I can't remember now (am I the only one who does that??) and decided it would make a great background for my snowman. Here's what I came up with...
I probably should have left the dsp uncovered so you could see it (SU!'s PEACEFUL PLACE) as it's really pretty snowy pine trees all in black & white, but I had the idea to make it a shaker card with a Gina Marie Birch Tree cover plate die laying over the dsp. All the silver glitter flat dots from TK were used as shaker bits.
My snowman is a Cottage Cutz die called Winter Snowman and was decorated up in blacks and reds (scarf is a dsp scrap I think from SU!), before being adhered to the front of the birch trees. The very merry sentiment on the wooden sign comes from PTI's Tiny Tags stamp set. A little bit of glitter around the edges of the snowman finished up my card.
Lots of beautiful inspiration from the DT over at the challenge and you can find it all right HERE. This challenge is open till Thursday, Feb. 17th @ 8:00PM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Marcia, he is adorable! [Though I'm feeling like he's not sure what might be coming through those birch trees with his wavy smile!]
I think you've 'come up with' another winner!

I love the smirk on his face, Marcia, like he's thinking "Look at me in front of this wonderful shaker card!" I have a similar birch die and am now thinking of making it into a shaker. Thanks for the inspiration.
He is absolutely adorable in his glistening shaker forest! The shaker elements look like jewels. So sparkly and pretty!
What a cutie! Great background behind the birch, pretty sequins (u r welcome), and adorable attire to keep him nice and toasty -- excellent, Marcia
I LOVE this snowman, Marcia! His expression is priceless! I love your birch forest too and the silvery shaker bits are a fantastic touch! Love that plaid scarf and heart too!
Awwww, how cute is this frosty fella! I love the expression on his face. Another delightful masterpiece, Marcia!
Wow, he is a fantastic shaker card, love how the entire front panel is the shaker, a fabulous design!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Peace On Earth!

Your snowman is adorable with his plaid scarf and top hat, also the cute sign. Love all the sparkly in your birch forest shaker. Fabulous card Marcia.
Gosh, I love that snowman! You know I'm a CC fan. He looks like it might almost be too cold for him. Those sparkly dots certainly look icy enough. So very cute to use the birch trees as a shaker cover!
The cute snowman is steeling the show on your card! I love it.

I love that sweet and very merry snowman among those wonderful trees with the snowy background. This is a wonderful addition to your Christmas card stash. I wish I could make myself start now! Thanks for the inspiration!
