Hi everyone! A huge welcome to the first ever blog hop for 'There's Magic in the Air'. If you arrived on my blog first, you need to go to the beginning of the blog hop here to get all the directions and collect all the clues. If you arrived from the TMITA blog then you are right on track!
The image I'm showcasing for you today is Nina's 'First Snow' - isn't he adorable!!! I have made an easel card as I thought it was the perfect way to showcase this fabulous image. I coloured with my copics and the paper is Bo Bunny. I used two new MS punches on this card - Alpine Snowflake and Pine Needles border punch.

That is the sweetest card, he looks so enraptured for his first snow, great job. Cannot wait to try the cookie recipe.
All your cards are really great. Your sons card is really cute, he did a good job on it. Thanks for the cookie receipe, it sounds delicious.
Such a cute card. I've never made an easel card. Going to have to try soon - they are so cute.
Your card is so cute and what yummy cookies too!
What a beautiful card, Danielle!!! It showcases Nina's darling image perfectly.
The recipe sounds fabulous. Can your son have soy products? I substitute soy beans for nuts sometimes. The taste isn't the same, but they're nice and crunchy and you get used to the difference in taste. I use soy butter too, because I can't have nut butters.
Merry Christmas!!!
I love snowmen! How cute:) Great card and the recipe sounds good. Thanks for sharing.
Oh he is so cute and gorgeous colour combo. The recipe sounds fab TFS.
If you let me have your details I'll be happy to send you some of the images. Have a good day
