Tuesday Throwdown Shiny and New!

Hello friends!!  So sorry for the long time between postings!
Dealing with getting sick TWICE, lots of family errands to do along with my computer acting up!
It's so hard to find time to get into my stamp room lately!! Hate it when that happens, don't you?! LOL!

Anywho, wanted to tell you about the BRAND NEW challenge up today at
Tuesday Throwdown
We would like to see something "Shiny and New!" - so use your new stuff on your creation!
That's it!!  Easy peasy, right?  We all love our "new" stash!! :)

I'm so excited today as we get to have The Digi Garden to sponsor us this time! Yay!
As you probably already know, I am on the design team and they have so many cute images!
So be sure to check out my fellow Tuesday Throwdown teamies to see what they've come up with too!
Here's my "shiny and new" creation:

AW!!  I just LOVE this sweet little Snowman from The Digi Garden! (keep scrolling almost all the way to the end until you find him!)  His bald head reminds me of my hubby!! LOL!!  He's hear with a special message for you to just "let is snow!"  :)
The "shiny and new" things that I've used on my creation here come from a wonderful blog candy I won!  I used a strip of washi tape at the top along with some pretty colorful pearls on top of the shiny snowflakes.
I used a sketch from somewhere, but can't quite remember from where now.  The snowflake circle sentiment on top of the ribbon comes from a Stampin' Up! set and the small snowflakes come from a HOTP "Merry and Bright" stamp set I have in my stash.  To make things even MORE shiny, I grabbed my lustre papers (from Paper Temptress) for the background paper behind the snowman scallop circle and added some shiny liquid pearls and glitter!  So I hope you will join in the fun with us!

Here are some challenges that I managed to find whilst my computer went in and out of being a pain in the "you know what"!! I hope it quits crashing on me!
