Snowy Bookmark

I'm back. I can't believe I missed the last Hambo Hoedown challenge.  It was the first one I didn't play along with since I started  almost a year ago.  The challenges are now bi-monthly.  The current challenge runs until Monday Dec 16th.  And this time it's not a card.  It's to make a "Bookmark".  So here's mine.

Let it Snow

Time for the next Dare To Be Sassy Thursday challenge at Sassy Studio Designs.  If you haven't played along, you should head on over and join in.  You could win your choice of 2 SSD images.  How about we escape the heat of summer and go for a "Christmas in July".  (Unless you live in the southern hemisphere, where it's summer at Christmas time). How's your summer going?  Are you staying cool if you live in the areas that are getting the heat wave?
Well on to the card.

I decided to make an easel card this time.  I cut the center out of the front background panel so that the embossed velum would let the light shine through.

I popped up the image and the inside sentiment on homemade foam squares.
