Colorful Winter Combo for 52CCT January Color Challenge, FMS118, Merry Monday #90, CCAYR January and ABC Christmas "A" is for Anything Christmas

Hello dear friends and followers, hope this post finds you happy and warm.  I'm looking forward to the weekend and trying more recipes from my Pioneer Woman Cookbook.  My family is lovin' the returns that this gift is providing to them.  My daughter said "I'm just so glad that Mom is really cooking lately".   What???!! I said.  "What do you mean? I cook all the time".  She replied,  "Yeah but it's usually got some part of it from a box or drive through.  Everything you are making lately now is entirely from scratch".   I didn't know whether to laugh or be offended - couldn't really be offended though as it's true.  Hmmmm... just when you think they aren't noticing :o).   Anyway - tomorrow I think I'll make glazed donuts for breakfast and chicken and noodles for dinner.  Wanna join us? Friends are always welcome!

So back to why you probably dropped in to visit.  Today I'm sharing with you my DT card for the 52CCT January Color Challenge.  We would like you to use at least 3 of the colors noted below - but you're sure welcome to use all of them if you like.

I love this great wintry combo and reached for one of my favorite snowman stamps - take a look please:

I used a piece of double sided -patterned cardstock for the base (retired Stampin Up!) - those embossed dots are on the front and back.  The dots make me think of a bunch of snow balls flying around.  Kind of a fun and different use of the paper and it made me feel quite "thrifty" for getting good use of my paper :o).  It has a good solid feel to it and the reverse pattern on the inside is nice too - another bonus.  

I am also entering my card in the following challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches (FMS118) - sketch

Merry Monday #90 - Use Ribbon or Twine (I used just a wee strip)

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - Use Ribbon or Lace

Christmas Cards All Year Round - January - Anything Goes Christmas

I'm excited to see what you might make this week with these great colors. The other ladies on the DT of 52CCT  have also made some terrific cards to inspire you this week. Won't you pop on in and visit them to see? Soon we will be having more DT members join us too - Yahoo!    Til next time friends... hugs and happy crafting! D
