Mrs. Mary, Super cute snowman card. ⛄️ Snowmen are my favorite. I got your Christmas card & it was adorable. Thank you. It's raining & in the mid 40's today, but it's supposed to get colder. Have a Happy New Years. 🎉 😊

[@jankubillus7157]

I love snowmen and this card is very cute. Here in Illinois our weather is very much like yours. I don’t mind the rain though because we would have had a lot of snow otherwise. Have a very happy New Year Mary! 🎉

[@PegMarieD]

Thanks Mary. Another fabulous card. Love the series, I do hope you will do more of them. Have a very Happy New Year.

Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the series! 😊 Happy New Year! 🎈

[@deborahbloom7836]

Beautiful card. You made the right choice in the snow storm paper. Your right about the weather. Wait 5 minutes and it will change is our motto. We go from 30 to 60 in a day. Crazy

[@cardcrazy09]

Thank you! We’ve had some wild weather changes too. We’re expecting about 10” of snow this weekend! Not looking forward to that! Stay warm and safe. Happy New Year! 🎈

[@brendalawrence6732]

This is a great series Mary! I love the snowman paper the best, but not with the snowflakes-so good choice to use the "snowstorm" side. Such a cute card!!! Yes, the weather.....warm, then back to freezing. The body can't acclimate. Same saying for here in PA, stick around and the weather will change in 5 minutes. Santa was very good to me too! Haha, no the weather people have no clue as the weather is all over the place. Sign of the times. I don't have the issue you have with the DT foam tape, I think you must have gotten a bad batch maybe. Hard to say. Happy New Year to you and yours Mary!!! Hugs and blessings, Brenda

That hard is so pretty. I just love it. I love the series of the winter Christmas cards and I would not miss one of them if I can help it thank you Mary. Have a great week.

[@TerRod-w4n]

Great looking winter birthday card Mary, I also like the paper that you used and as always you match them so well, can't leave that cute little snowman out either. well done and thanks for sharing it. Have yourself a great blessed week until we see you again in your next video sending hugs your way.

[@reginabasart5080]

Good morning, I have asked this question before, and don’t want to be a pest, but how do you organize your papers in order to always find good combinations? I keep mine in their pads, organized by seasons, which means that a lot of the papers are not being seen. Thank you so much for sharing

[@katherinevegaleon4721]

I keep some transparent plastic bags with a label in each one: polka dots/ diagonals/ plaids / flowers / cute animals and nature. / christmas / baby boyb/ baby girl / wedding/ items / backgrounds and so. It helps me get these styles to combine with specific themes and papers.

[@SassyGrkGrl24]

I keep mine in the pads. As a season changes ie from Christmas and I am starting on Valentine; i pull out all my paper pads and anything that is red, white, pink, purple ink polka dots, diagonals, solids etc. I keep them on top of my organizer. As I am looking for a image to use and then I flip thru all of the papers that I pulled. I have very little storage space so I keep all of my paper pads in one drawer and all of my 12 x 12 in another. Hope this helps.

[@cardcrazy09]

Good morning, Regina. Paper organization is being covered in part 3, which will be coming up on Sunday, Jan. 5th. In the meantime, Katherine and Sassygirl, who answered your question, both use great methods for paper organization and storage. Thanks, ladies! Happy New Year! 🎈

So cute! I can relate on cheap foam tape. I thought I was getting a great bargain with the $1.00 foam tape from Ranger. It's AWFUL. Trust me on this one guys, don't even waste a dollar on it. Great card Mar, thanks for sharing.

Love the card. But I really have trouble printing the sketches. It looks like the sketch in the video is A2 size. When I go to your blog they are all so tiny you can’t read the measurements. And when I print them they are all together and it makes 34 sheets. I can’t print just one. Eventually I would like to print them all and put them in a photo book like you do. Any advice?

[@cardcrazy09]

Thanks, Janet! I’ll be doing a video on how I download and use Word to size and print my sketches. Coming up soon. Happy New Year! 🎈
