Time Out Challenge #276

The weather has definitely changed in my part of the world.  I do prefer cooler temperatures and we need the rain.  So Time Out Challenge #276: Be Cozy seems very appropriate.  

Hubby loves to wear his plaid flannel shirts when it's chilly, so my first thought was to use plaid in my card.  But I came across the Tutti Designs Winter Cottage die I won several years ago and had never used.  

We love the mountains and cross country skiing was my favorite winter activity.  I would have loved to stay at this cottage!  The white glitter paper is so beautiful in person and makes it stand out from the background.  Speaking of the background, it's simply a white panel embossed with SSS Forest Border folder.  Luckily, I didn't discard the little snowflakes that pop out of the diecut so I could add them across the top.  The little sentiment from Winnie and Walter was stamped in PTI Weathervane and matching cardstock was used for the panel and sentiment strip mats.  Hubby loves the card, so maybe I can come up with something slightly different for his December birthday card.  

You can get a lot more inspiration and all the challenge details on the Time Out Challenge blog.  Our generous sponsor is Newton's Nook and it'd be great to see you in the gallery.

I'm entering DCD and WAW.
