Winter in August

I'm starting to hear a lot of people around here complaining about the heat...and the smoke in the air.  I understand the smokey air being worth complaining about, but this heat...rather have it than snow and ice!!  We do have fires all around us.  We live in the high desert, yet this is still considered a 'valley', so, the smoke from all of the forest fires likes to settle here...yuck!!

I digress...

This fortnight over at Incy Wincy Designs Challenge Blog, the challenge theme is "Winter in August", I like they decided on Winter instead of Christmas!!  We have two fabulous sponsors, SheepSki Designs and Createful Heart Design.  I played with images from both companies.

I used an image called Ice Queen from SheepSki Designs:  For this card I kept it relatively simple.  I layered the circles and the squares, added some snowflakes punched from glitter paper and added some gems....simple!

I used an image called Latte Love from Createful Heart Design.  This stamps comes in a set of two.  I kept this card simple as well.  I added some old DP from Stamp'in UP, some gems and a small bow.

Thanks for looking!
