Snowflakes but not Christmas

Hi All,
Welcome to my blog for the VCMP with OWH!  My card theme is Snowflakes but not Christmas. 

I have posted 2 cards, because what would my blog be without a Whipper involved.  My first card is my original sample card.  I used Little Yellow Bicycle patterned papers and distressed the edges.  The snowflake ribbon I had in my stash.  I used a Nestie to frame the words and a couple of snowflake brads to finish them off.

The second card is a Whipper that I had gotten last year.  I love this stamp, especially those big shoes.  I used snowflake paper as the background to keep with the theme.  He's colored with Copics.  The extra snowflakes are from a couple of years ago that are glued on for a little bling.

Now it's your turn to jump in and make a card.  Post it to the link below for all to admire.  Have fun.

    Cindy, thanks for hostessing a challenge for our VCMP this weekend! I love both of your cards, but your Whipper is just as cute as can be. And, look, you didn't have any problems with your post or Inlinkz - congratulations!

    These are both beautiful Cindy! I have to say if I'd come here and not seen a Whipper stamp I would have been a little disappointed. I don't own any and count on you to share them on your cards. Thanks for hosting a challenge this weekend. The VCMPs are so much fun!! I'll be back to link up later. :)

    Beautiful cards, Cindy! Is Whipper a brand name? That snowman is mighty cute. Lovely papers too!

    Both cards are great. Love the embellies you used on both. Beautiful paper and ribbon on the first card and the embossing on the second really adds to the winter feel.

    Let's see. It's 98 degress here in Fort Worth, so maybe doing a snowflake challenge will help cool me off. I love both your cards, but I really adore the Whipper. Your layering and choice of papers are wonderful. Thanks for being part of this fun weekend.

    Hi Cindy! Love your challenge and making my card. Your cards are terrific - of course I love, love the Whipper Snapper card! I like your first card too, though, and I'm keeping it in mind to inspire me to make some sentiment only cards out of my hoard of snowflake paper! Have a great weekend!
