HC 214C PC

The inspiration for this card is very random...I purchased some quick oats the last time we went to town, and as a free gift with my purchase, I received a ring of oatmeal recipes on oven-mitt shaped papers. These weren't recipes you'd imagine with oatmeal, really...mostly they were Indonesian recipes where they tried to substitute oats where they would normally use rice. Ummm....no thanks. Cute paper though! I shortened the length of the 'mitt' to use as a mitten pattern and cut a cuff out of felt, pierced around the edge and added some faux stitching with a Souffle pen. I had the snowflake ornament in my stash from an after-Christmas clearance sale. CREATED BY: DINA
