Hot Chocolate Season

I hope everyone is having a happy Thanksgiving. I took a little time to be crafty today. I had this idea in mind and wanted to share. It's another "matchbook" card. My inspiration for the layout is from the Deconstructed Sketch 128.

There's Snowman Like U

I love snowmen and this is one of my favorite sentiments when using a snowman on a card. I had lots of fun making this card and using this image from Birdie Brown.

Not Another Card

Sometimes I want to make something other than a card. I like making the step cards and different shapes but I wonder sometimes is the recipient understands the folds or shapes. I decided to make a "matchbook" card with a surprise inside. It took some trial and error but I'm happy with what I came up with.

I could have just as easily added a packet of hot chocolate. I think the sentiment will be perfect for the Winter season.
