ATCAS #28 - SNOWFLAKES

Hi everyone from a beautiful day here in sunny Queensland. Earlier today, I was down with my dad and the family dog (Jackie Tan) at the water for a bit of fishing. Lot's of bites but nothing caught :(

Over at Addicted to CAS, we have our last challenge for 2014. Here is the code word which was chosen the the uber talented, Karen!


I do wish that I will see snowflakes at Christmas just once in my life. It is certainly on my bucket list. I was very jealous of the pictures that fellow teamie, Jaydee, posted the other day. It's funny, actually, because I HATE the cold. That's why I moved to Queensland in the first place. BUT, to see a white christmas would just be amazing!!


Here is my DT card for this code word -


(I even created a signature to use on my cards so I am feeling VERY clever at the moment, lol)


I chose a very monochramatic look for my card this time. I felt the silver and black were a nice combo for this Christmas card. See that snowflake? That is part of some card candy I was sent by fellow teamie, Loll.Thanks, Loll!!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges

A Creative Romance - Sparkle at Christmas

Crafty Hands Challenge - Seasons Greetings / Winter theme

YNS Challenge - Photo inspiration



So, now you need to pop on over to the challenge blog to enter your Snowflake creations. There is plenty of inspiration there from the amazing Design Team.

Before I go, I will share some pictures with you. This is how we roll in December here in Queensland ;)

Our pooch - Jackie Tan (Jack for short)



I actually took a 'selfie'! (just in case you thought the dog was very clever!!)

Thanks so much for looking xx

    Beautiful card Kylie ... love the white, silver and black - so elegant!

    LOVE the pictures you shared of your day of fishing ... looks nice and warm. Cold here and getting down to -10 C tonight - brrrrr ... so cold for us - we usually are well above freezing this time of year. Good excuse to stay home, keep warm and get caught up on some blog visiting! :)

    Love your new signature! You are so clever!! Loll xx
