Can you guess what the theme is for this week's Pals Paper Arts Theme Challenge (PPA27)? If you guessed snowflakes, you're right! My card today features the snowflake image from the Best Wishes & More set from Stampin' Up!, one of my very favorite sets to use! Two different patterns of Designer Series Paper compliment the rhinestone-enhanced snowflake and the hand-cut "banner-style" sentiment! Sheer and shiny Whisper White Organza Ribbon looks as pretty as new fallen snow, adding to the fresh and cool style of the winter-themed card!
Visit Pals Paper Arts for more cool and inspiring designs created by the PPA Design Team! Come "play along" with us and add your snowflake-themed creation via Mr. Linky before the challenge closes at 12:00 NOON CST on February 2, 2010! I can't wait to see what you make!

I love that you used only blue and white. It reminds me of this snowy and cold January. Very pretty.
