"Could that be any cuter?!"

I have said that at least one hundred times myself - so I'm putting it to the test today!  This cute little snowflake-catcher comes out to play each Winter - how can she be resisted?  Today I've tucked her inside a shaker and here is where that question comes in... could this be any cuter?


Such a cutie it wouldn't matter what color her outfit was - but I 
used Carol's JUGS colors from Challenge #659 today.
The CAS design is neat and clean with lots of white - but I felt like the shaker
element was just 'hanging in the wind.'

Could it be cuter?  You be the judge...


Are you catching the changes?  I cut another shaker window panel,
snipped it short and sloped it to make a snow hill, then added debossed details 
using a HoneyBee die.
There were a few more snowflakes added to the outside of the shaker, too.

So, did it get cuter, or should I have left it alone?  I won't be mad - I'm really interested in your thoughts!!  Let me know in the comments - thanks!

    No I don't think the second one got cuter. The first card is definitely the cutest. Both are of course brilliant anyway xx

    She did get cuter. Love the addition of the white embossed piece...and are those stars from a Greetery panel?

    I love them both Michele!! You know how I feel about those PI girls and the background could be a hot mess and I'd still love the card!! The 1st one is a little more CAS so maybe I would pick that one, but I like the snow-hill too! Maybe it's time for me to get my little snowflake catching girl out too?!! Definitely cute, CUTE card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

    She is extra cute and the amped up version is even cuter!

    Nope, couldn't be any cuter! I have one of these snowflake catchers colored up with no where to go....maybe she'll turn up inside a shaker element, too! Thanks for the inspo!

    The added debossing and snowflakes took this from cute to fantastic, Michele! I love the added dimension and texture! You have outdone yourself!

    Definitely cuter. Both are adorable, but the extras on #2 raise the cuteness meter. My favorite thing is the placement of the stars. That one little detail makes a big difference. The snow mound is perfect too. xx

    At first I thought it could NOT be any cuter, but then I saw your changes/additions and thought, "well, how about that... it CAN be cuter!" Leave it to you. I marvel.

    Both are great cards, Michele, but I do enjoy the frosty slope she's perched on from the second card! She is TOO cute either way!

    I like the changes you added to the second card. I think it grounds the shaker. I was thinking maybe adding an embossed background of snowflakes, but your choice of just a few keeps the CAS theme going. I love what you created!

    OMGoodness, this little sweetie is way to cute Michele! I love both card, one is as cute as the other! That little girl just doesn't get any cutier...humm, I've said that before I believe...but it is true! She is just adorable all decked out in her green with red accents. I love her background and the fact that you made both cards into shakers. Love, love, love! Hugs, Brenda

    I love this cute little snowflake-catcher, Michele! If I didn't need to color her, I would have bought the stamp a long time ago. ;-P
    Both shakers are so cute, and I love the dimension and texture you added to the second card!
