Snowman Family Christmas Shaker Card MMSC19

MMSC19 SHAKER CARD

Hi ~ Another Tuesday is here!  So, before you know it, winter will be here, and since I did a Halloween card for my last MMSC, I thought this time I would jump even farther ahead and throw in a Christmas card for you.  This is a shaker card... (one of my favorite kinds of cards).  I love doing shakers for the holidays, because there are just so many images that you can add snow and fun shaker materials to for this season. 

This card was a little harder than I thought it would be to do up as a shaker, because the image was larger than I expected it would be on the card, so I had to make a pretty large card, which is fine, but it is always better knowing that going into it instead of trying to figure out how it will all fit later.  I did flip the sketch this week to suit my needs for this card, besides, it's kind of fun to do that sometimes anyway ; )

This cute snowman image came from our MMSC monthly sponsor DRS who has an awesome assortment of stamps to suit anyone's taste.  If you are not familiar with them, you should take a look at their store.  Tons of images to choose from and great prices too.  It's been fun working with their images this month, and I am sure that I will use them over and over again.  Thank you, DRS! 

Make sure you pop over to the MMSC blog to catch up on the latest.  There are going to be some really fun and exciting things that we have planned in the weeks to come.  Stay tuned, so that you don't miss anything. 

This week we are proud to say the“MIDNIGHT MADNESS MASTERPIECE” Gold Star Award goes to.....

We are so lucky to have "62 Cards"

as our Weekly Bonus Sponsor

A very special thank you goes out to Sammye Jo Monroe Singer for sponsoring us this week. you are going to love her give away!!! 62Cards began as an intriguing hobby of a twenty-something wife and mom who desired to do something she loved. After a tragic car accident in 2005 took the life of her little brother, Matt, 18, she knew she had to do something that not only kept her busy, but honored him at the same time. The name of the company itself does just that. 62 was Matt's football number. The company offers something that is special, unique, and fun, just like her beloved brother. He loved to help others, and 62Cards is helping keep his giving spirit alive by donating part of its profits to benefit The Matt Monroe Memorial Scholarship Fund through Citizens First Bank. This fund awards three scholarships every year to high school seniors to help them with the expenses of their post-secondary education. 62Cards was founded on the idea that quality and trendy paper crafting and embellishments do not have to be mass produced or cost a fortune. From handmade cards, embellishments, and gifts to party favors and banners, 62Cards strives to offer something for everyone. When you purchase a product from 62Cards, you are not only getting something fun and exciting for yourself, but you are helping today's youth further their education and are keeping the spirit of one very special and loved young man alive. Visit the site at www.62cards.com and join in some great crafty chit chat and giveaways on the blog at http://www.62cards.blogspot.com/!

I have to apologize to everyone out there in blogland for my lack of commenting lately.  I am really trying hard to keep up, but have some things overwhelming me with my time over the last several weeks.  I am really hoping that things will slow down and fall into place soon, so that I can get back to what I love doing the most....visiting all of your lovely blogs and seeing those marvelous creations.  I have not forgotten about you, and thank you so much for my faithful visitors and commentors.  I am so grateful for you and appreciate you so very, very much!! 

I hope that you enjoy my DT card this week and that perhaps it might inspire someone out there to make a shaker card of your own.  They really are alot of fun : )

Take care everyone, and have a great week! 

Here is the MMSC19 sketch for the week...
