  2. Your cards are gorgeous, Julie!! Love the soft pink and greens. I wondered if I was stretching it to coordinate items based on like images, but seeing yours, I think I'm ok. : )

  3. As for your first project I think you've used very different styled snowmen, but you've created a feel of a set using the same theme and coordinating papers. I think this is a great idea also when time is limited and you need to make more cards.
    Your second project shows a beautiful Christmas set of tag, card and gift box. Love your combination of blue and green.
