Whether it's your first snowfall or your 50th, you can't help but be mesmerized by the beauty of falling snow.
Today we celebrate snow and say "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"
Let's see those snowflakes and snowmen stamps!
Mesmerize us with snowy fun flock hills and glistening trees covered in snow. Anything with snow goes in this sketch and product challenge!

**Post a comment and a link to you card on Mandy's blog by Sunday, December 14th at midnight for a chance to win YOUR CHOICE of glitter! Any glitter we carry...Stampendous OR Pink Paislee!

Here's my take on the sketch:

This image is Wreath Angel by Stampendous. I absolutely LOVE this stamp!
I paper pieced the angel's dress using Twinkly Tidings Holly Jolly paper by TaDa.
I used Candle Light Shimmerz on the wings.

The background paper and the strips are both Twinkly Tidings Holly Jolly paper by TaDa...love that it's double sided!

I embellished with pearls and Martha Stewart Branch and 2008 Snowflake punches.

Be sure to check out the other Limelight gals for more inspiration!

It's Day 9! WIN here!!

{Be sure to scroll down to see how you can WIN!}

Limelight Papercrafts is continuing with the 12 days of Christmas!
And TODAY is MY DAY to host a game/giveaway!!

There is a DAILY SPECIAL so be sure and check it out!
Today's special is Prima Sprites 2 (Black, Fuchsia, Ivory, or Light Blue) $3.50!

I followed a fabulous tutorial by our very own Ryann!
I did change up my measurements some to make it a little larger.

I started off with the Twinkly Tidings Chilly Willy paper by TaDa.
And, because it's double sided, the inside of the gift card holder also has a lovely print.

I used Christmas List by Unity stamped in Not Quite Navy.
And added Ice Blue rhinestones inside the snowflakes for some sparkle.
I finished it off with white polka dot sheer ribbon!

Next up is a little tin:

This is one of the gift card tins from Michael's, they have them up near the cash registers.
After Christmas last year...I grabbed a bag full for .10 each! (I hope to do that again this year ~ they are perfect for gift cards, candy, jewelry, etc.)

This uses Fashionable from the Basic Grey Sultry Collection.
The pink scalloped piece is from the Sultry 6x6 pad.
I used mod podge to adhere the paper and to make a thin top coat sealant.

Next I used the super fun Olive/Sage Fuzzy/Center Dot Ribbon to go around the side of the lid. I used red line tape to ahere the fuzzy dot ribbon.

I used the Dangling Dazzlers stamp by TaDa. I used markers (Green Galore and Pink Passion) to color the stamp.
I used a quickie glue pen to adhere Pixee Stix Raspberry and Stampendous Melon glitters.
Each ornament is 'hanging' from rhinestones, either Hot Pink or Yellow (which is a yellow-green color).

So, there are the two options for your comment.
You can put #1 or #2.......... 'paper' gift card holder or tin......
I'll draw a winner from all of the correct guesses and post it sometime Thursday morning!

Here's what you could WIN!!

Clearsnap Sparkling Amethyst glitter AND a JenMarie's Cupcake Owl stamp!
Yep, that's a little owl I drew and Johanna of Odd Bird Planet turned it into a stamp!
Be sure to check in tomorrow...I'll show you are FABU card that Tiffany made with this little cutie!

I made this for This is for MFTGD13.

I altered a gift card tin (from Michael's).
These are perfect for gift cards, gift tags, gift cards, candy, jewelry and much more!

I used Garnener Flopsey by My Favorite Things.
I had to give him long sleeves though since he's out in the snow!
I cut the carrot out of the wheelbarrow and added snow!

The background dp is from the Basic Grey Wassail 6x6 pad.
The white snowflakes are a CB die, the green snowfalkes and 'branches' are Martha Stewart punches.

I used a clear spica all over the ground of snow for some shimmer.
The wheelbarrow is covered with a Sakura Glaze pen to look like metal.
There is white liquid applique for the snow in the wheelbarrow.

I used red pearls for the snowflake centers.
And, finished it off with a scarf for Flopsey!
I used the same ribbon as the scarf to go around the tin (this doesn't show in the pic).

It's the 6th of the month so that means that the Limeilght DT has projects to share!
This month it is packaging for baked goods.

To make the box, I traced a Starbucks Mocha Truffles box onto FaLaLaLaLa Winter Wonderland paper by TaDa.
I used my Scor-pal to help with the folds... And cut a 'window' in the box using nestabilities.

I used the Martha Stewart 2008 Snowflake punch for the red snowflakes and put red pearls in the center.

The top of the box is finished off with white polka dot sheer ribbon and a tag stamped with one of the ornaments from Dangling Dazzlers.
To get this snowflake image you can also use the Frosty Flake stamp.

For the card, I used more of the fabulous FaLaLaLaLa Winter Wonderland paper trimmed with green rick rack.
I used the Dangling Dazzlers (or you could use Frosty Flake) stamp on the green backgound.
Another snowflake, red pearl and topped with the white polka dot sheer ribbon.

And the inside:
