Snow Monster and Happy Mail

Hi Everyone,

its snowing here in New Jersey! So I made a winter card for this week's Muse challenge. Marion Vagg made a real beauty this week for us to case - took me forever to think of something to do her card justice.....

I decided to make a shaker card. Used my brand new stitched dies from Simon Says - made this real easy. I took that cute monster from Paper Smooches - Falling for you, stamped it onto a scrap piece of white card stock, masked it and then sprayed with Heidi Swap color spray. I lightly colored the monster (Copics) and then filled the inside of the shaker with sequins and micro beads. The sentiment is by Paper Smooches and YNS.

Here is Marion's beautiful card:

And here is another view of mine:

I am also linking up with 

Paper Smooches - anything goes

Shopping our Stash - The Big Screen - this monster reminds me about the abominable snow monster in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

CASology - Monochrome

Create something Catchy - Love shaker cards - I know it is a birthday card, but there is a lot of love in it - see those little sequin hearts?

Seize the birthday - hearts or arrows - added little sequin hearts

ShowCASe your style - Birthday

And now I want to share some happy mail with you - gorgeous Valentine cards, that fluttered into my house from dear blogging friends:

This is Darnell's wonderful card - also had some stamping in the inside!

I was gushing over it when I saw it on her blog and jokingly asked if that one is for me ;)
