Mary J (you're here!)
 
So I made two cards and here is the first...

 
This is such a cute stamp!  It's called Polar Pair and I matched the image with October Afternoon Very Merry papers and used my trusty Fiskars snowflake border punch.
 
Here is my second card using Squirrel Snack, a sentiment from the Handwritten Phrases set and matched up with K and Company papers...
