Not to be confused.....

Hello there!  I sure hope I don't confuse Mother Nature with my card today...I've really been enjoying the lovely spring weather we've been having, even if it does mean yard work, but I thought a Christmas card would make a nice change.


I had a bit of fun with my copics and this cute little Harvest Snowman image from Meljen's Designs.  Quite appropriate considering I'm working on cleaning up the yard from the fall and winter havoc. 

This is a first time for using this Spellbinder ornament die, and I do like how it frames the image.  A few pearls and some punched greenery add a little extra interest, and then a bow and a couple of glittery snowflakes to finish it off.  The sentiment along the side is made with some rub-on letters...something I bought ages ago, but they've been hiding!

And of course, I found a few challenges for my card.
