CSS Inspiration Hop


Hi there!  I hope your Thanksgiving was a wonderful one.  Tonight the gals from the Center Stage Alumni Team are gathering to share creations inspired by the following photo:

You should have arrived here from Lori's blog, if not you can go back to the beginning at StampTV and start from there.  You wouldn't want to miss a thing!

The first thing that caught my eye when I saw this photo was the snowflake cookie.  Of course it would be the snowflake.....you all knew that.  :)  After the snowflake it was the sweets and the thought of giving some sweet treats as a gift. 

I had recently found some cute little snowflake buckets in the dollar bin at Target and I knew one would be perfect for this challenge.  I will apologize now for the poor quality of the pics, we have had little to no sunshine here.  Just lots of that white stuff that falls from the sky.



I used stamps from the Winter Mittens and Winter Wonderland sets from Gina K. Designs.  These sets work so well together.  I put some hot cocoa mix, a peppermint stick and some chocolates in the bucket.  Yum-O!  I created the snowflake ornament from the Spellbinders Pendent die, some rhinestones and a few beads.  Easy peasy! 

Well, I am going to send you on your way now.........Melissa has something special to share with you too!

Hugs,

If we were having snow, I would be thinking mittens and snowflakes too!! We are having extremely cold weather for San Diego however. Just not use to it getting down to 30 degrees here. Your cards are adorable.
