FALLING SNOWFLAKES CHRISTMAS CARD
It's a sign I'm not at work! Second card made this week already, along with lots of toppers to sell on ebay. I've been a busy gal! Me and the family went bowling today aswell...lots of fun had by all. Not mentioning the scores though :-) xx
I wanted to try something new on this card, a spinning wheel. I made a base card and layered up some snowflake paper from "Winter Wonderland" again, onto gold mirri card. Then cut a hole in all the layers, and behind this, I've used a split pin to attach a spinning wheel, to which I've stuck lots of snowflake punchies and Stickles. The wheel can be turned by the scalloped edge which you can see sticking out. I then cut a lovley snowy cottage on my Cricut and attached this with foam pads to hide the split pin. I'm really pleased with it!
That's all for today. The boys are off out playing pool tomorrow, leaving me and my lovely little Poppi to entertain ourselves...it's bound to involve glue! Lol xx

I was actually popping over to admire the cards you as GD for Hazel's Christmas challenge, but I noticed your cards are not up yet. Will be visiting again later.
