Now for our first ever challenge at Flaunt It Friday's we a "Flaunting" the WINTER FROLIC cartridge and the image is the SNOWMAN on PAGE 29 you will have one week to enter your project to Flaunt It Friday's

Just look at her makeup she is definately having fun!

For my first project I used the Winter Frolic cart for the snow"lady" and cut the boots from Paper Doll Dress Up, the Talk bubble is from Gypsy Wanderings. I had a vision for this card I wanted her to look like she was having fun playing dress up, the whole time I was creating her I kept singing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" yep, now I have that song stuck in my head LOL!I stamped her face with Peachy Keen Stamps Winter Faces and put some makeup on her! She has to have the best glittery winter clothes and accessories so I put some pink Stickles on her ear muffs, scarf, and her snow boots. I also stamped the sent. in the talk bubble, did some inking, faux stitching and added some bling with my i-rock. Now onto my Winter Frolic Bonus project a Penguin Candy Cane Holder:

Here's how I attached the candy cane

This year I decided to actually dress up my candy canes before I give them out to people. I also cut the penguin from Winter Frolic, I cut him at 4 inches with my Gypsy. I was going to use my PKS here but I really wanted the yellow beak to be seperate so I cheated and used googly eyes, I think kids will enjoy the googlies LOL! I attached the back piece cutting a small strip that is 2 1/2inches x 1/2 inches and the candy cane fits perfectly this was super easy and fun to make and I think it's a perfect cut because the penguin is actually holding candy!
