FBD new weekly challenge!

The theme this week over at the Fresh Brewed Designs Challenge blog is winter:  bbbrrrrrr/snow!  Living in San Diego, we don't get snow, but it's fun to make snowy cards on a sunny day.   ;) 

My card for this challenge, I decided to do a glitter window card.  It's been a while since I've done one.  First I embossed white cardstock in my cuttlebug, then rounded the corners and used a big circle punch to punch out the circle on front. 

 

 to create a glitter window, I cut a piece of clear contact paper big enough to cover the hole, sticky side towards the front of the card, then i lightly rubbed A|S glitter on it so it's no longer sticky, but not too much that you can't see through the glitter.  The adorable image is Tommy's Snowball fight. 
 

I made snowballs for the front of the card with white fiber/yarn stuff.  I also added a ring of glitter around the image inside to just finish it off a bit.  Go on over to the Fresh Brewed Designs blog, check out the fantastic cards by the DT, and play along, too!  PLUS!  There's lots of fun news, too!
