Christmas Card Challenge # 5 - Snow.

Happy Sunday!

Welcome to a new Christmas Card Challenge!

This is my card:

Background paper is from DCWV.

 

Although we are freezing here in my hometown, we haven't seen snow yet and I miss it a bit!

Hedgehogs in Love!

I must confess that hedgehogs have never been a passion of mine, maybe becuase it's not something we see in the big city. But now, after years of crafting, they are one of my favourite subjects!

 

You can imagine how happy I was when I saw this month's image for Gerda Steiner's Monthly Challenge: Hedgehogs Smooches!

 

This is my card:

 

 

Aren't they super-sweet?

 

I chose papers from American Crafts and made a very simple card, with unusual colors for a love-themed Valentine card.

 

Hope you like it!
