Happy 1st Day of Winter everyone! I am not a Winter person. I think when outgrow snow pants, Winter wears off a bit but my children love it, especially my son because of all the activities. He's a hockey, snowman, fort building kinda kid.
As part of my Christmas Scraps series I wanted to make these 2 cards. I had enough in my scraps to make 2 and use up all of that paper! I chose to make a shape card using Elegant Edges and Cricut Craft Room to weld them together. This card was so cute to make and I used some bakers twine to really make it look like a pair of figure skates.
What is your favorite activity?

The skates are perfect for winter. I do not like the cold either...that is why my parents moved to Florida many years ago (I think my dad hated shoveling snow.)! Love the twine used as laces.
