Hope your weekend was a good one. We went to Troy, NY to visit our grandson. He goes to an Engineering school there. It was a wonderful visit with him. We got to see the campus, take him to lunch, and also spend time with our son as well as our grandson. My daughter-in-law was down with a bad cold so she couldn't make the trip with us. That was disappointing.
It was an 8-hour drive from Pittsburgh, but we had great weather going and coming home. And the time spent with our son in the car was priceless. Nothing like family time.
Now onto my card for today. This one I made for the color challenge #914 on Splitcoaststampers. We were to use granny apple green, melon mambo and highland heather for our color trio. Optional was to make it sparkle. I used white glitter paper for the snowbanks and the hat brims. Although it didn't photo so sparkly.

I thought I would try these non-traditional colors for a Christmas card. My funfold design is called a screen divider card. There is a tutorial here on SCS. Check it out here.
I embossed the background panels with the SU "softly falling" embossing folder. On the first 3 panels I am featuring new dies from CottageCutz. I also used the "happy ho ho ho die" on these panels. The last panel I used for my stamped greeting.
For Santa's hat and glove, I used merry merlot- one of our neutrals. I also had to give my snowmen a carrot nose. I am sending this card at Christmas to my precious great niece who loves to get cards in the mail from me. She even hangs them up in her bedroom. So sweet!
Well, that's it for me for this post. So, until next time.......God bless.

Mary, I bet you went to RPI. I lived 10 miles from there back in the 90's! I have never tried this fun fold. You used the cutest dies. Good luck in the Creative Creases challenge.
