Snow Friends!!

Is everyone ready for Christmas??!!

Isn't it a crazy (in a good way) time of year!!!!  Decorating...still working on that, shopping...getting close, baking...need to start and Christmas cards...still wading through...LOL!!!!

Well I'm down to the "special" friends who I get together with and hand deliver...this one is for a friend that I have a coffee date with...

 
the front of the card with the darling Polar Bear from the Winter Wonderland Collection 2013(click on first image for slideshow)... 
 
opened we meet Pingy and Rudolph  (also from WW 2013)...if you look closely at the DP written on it is polar bears, penguins and reindeer...how perfect is that...
 
the smaller flap...I used a crocheted doilie for the center flower...
 
close up of Polar Bear mounted on a die cut snowflake...
 
Pingy...also mounted on snowflake...
 
Rudolph and North Pole sign (WW 2013)...mounted on a paper doilie...
 
"Let it Snow" tag from Whimsy Stamps tucked into a crocheted doilie with snowflake and cheesecloth bow...
