OCC Challenge - Something Old

Hello! You may have noticed I was absent from this week's Our Creative Corner challenge. I tried and tried to make a card, but my brain was fried!!! I decided to just stop and give myself a break. So, I took my crappy card apart and reworked it this morning. I really like the way it turned out, but it was very hard to photograph.

The challenge this week is to use something you've had for a long time and never used. As soon as received this paper from Paper Maniac, I knew I wanted to emboss it with snowflakes. So I did just that and never used it on a card. Until now!!! The paper has a pearlized metallic shimmer that was really hard to capture in the photo.
I didn't want to take away from the embossed snowflakes, so I kept the rest of the card pretty simple. This card is also an homage to the 9 inches of snow we are getting here in Northern KY!!!! It is crazy!!! I think the kids are going to be off school all week.

Please head on over to Our Creative Corner and see what the rest of the DT pulled out of their stash to use on their cards. I hope you have time to play along with us!!!
