They always say April showers bring May flowers - well, here in the mid-south (some say the Southwest).... we had SNOW on May 2nd - which breaks all known records...
It's been a LOT colder than normal this year, and with a 2 year long drought - the amount of rain we've had lately is a wonderful thing!
On that same bent, the Christmas Card Challenge theme for May is:
SNOWFLAKES!
Punched, embossed, hand-cut, scherenschnitte (I really LOVE that technique), Cricut cut, etc. etc. etc.

Basically, create 6 cards based on the month's theme including the inside sentiment and stamped envelopes to coordinate with the stated theme.
I've used this Cartridge before, and spent a little time working on picking small pieces but I think they turned out very well!!
There is a Nativity snowflake, snowmen snowflakes, gingerbread men snowflakes, Christmas candy snowflakes, and a Santa snowflake! It cracks me up that there's a snowman snowflake since snowflakes are their source. LOL :)
I also embossed each background with 2 different folders - an old favorite, and a new larger design.
I hope you enjoy these really unique, unusual snowflake cards!
One of the new rules this year is to have the insides and envelopes all complete. I did stamp the insides of the cards with a sentiment, but forgot to take a picture! Whoops! :(
