Our Making Frosty Friends snowmen are a perennial favorite! Franci gave them an updated look with Stitched Snowflake Backdrop and Scribbled Sentiments: Winter!

Mimi created a clever Special Delivery card highlighting letters to Santa! She used the birdhouse from Winter Birds Add-On for the mailbox and Special Delivery Add-On for the box of letters and cute label.

Samantha‘s design is so much fun combining Treat Cart with Beachy Christmas! The perfect Christmas in July combination!

Karin‘s lovely card pairs Winter Birds with Magic Iris Snowflake Add-On in a pretty tone on tone design!

It’s Christmas in July in the desert! Christy included the cute new Critters in the Desert and Desert Canyon Backdrop with lots of cute Christmas images!

Joyce stenciled a pretty snowflake background, then created a sparkling snow hillside before adding the adorable Build-A-Snowman pair! So cute!

It’s a frosty day at the beach for our Winter Otters! Samantha created her otterly cute design with Snowflake Background Stencils and Beachy Christmas accents!

Catherine created a perfect Hallmark Christmas movie scene with Mice on Ice, Snowball Fight and Treat Cart! She used Stitched Pond, Sandy Beach Accents and Over the Mountain Borders to create the amazing scenery!
