My blog candy will be this darling Snowman Set by Bugaboo Designs:
Below are two cards I'll be sending, just to give you an idea of how simple these thoughtful gestures can be. Precolored snowman with additional shading and coloring with pastel chalks.
Happiness is a heartfelt hug and time spent with your best friend:
Since we are using A2 size cards (that was my biggest challenge) with very little embellishing, I found it a perfect time to use paper scraps in my layering. In the frame below, I die cut from glitter cardstock because the glitter will not rub off into little eyes:
Thanks for doing what you can, and remember, even if you cannot send a card, I hope you will still hop with us on August 1 and become eligible for prizes.
Here are some freebies for your cards. Just click on the Heart(s) you want, then right click to save to your computer. Resize on your word processor to whatever size you like. These are PNGs and are transparent outside of the heart area. Ink them up and play! Please, no commercial use, and no reproduction for selling.
Enjoy!

You have achieved such warmness to these cards, Donna, with the yellows and reds. When I first saw them, I immediately thought "wow, those snowmen are giving off so much warmth" from their hearts must be otherwise they would melt. The kids will LOVE these, Donna. Beautifully colored!
Gorgeous cards Donna and such simple layouts. Fabulous!
Such wonderful cards, great coloring and I love those dies you used to frame them so perfectly.
Two beautiful cards Donna, Love the touch`s you added to the coloured snowmen toppers, lovely frames and embossed background.
