When it came to the red and white buttons, I just couldn't resist on making this jar. All it took was a scrap of fabric, a little batting, ric-rac, buttons, a string of craft pearls, and craft glue.
The next thing I want to share with you is my first postcard in my challenge. It took me about 6 hours to complete it, only because I was interrupted 3 times by the phone. I finally hid the d@#n phone in the couch!
Maybe I'll conveniently forget where I hid it, mahhahhahaaaa!
I used a scrap piece of black velvet, did some random smocking all around and bleached out some areas. Then I added some seed stitches with rayon threads. I really like the result even though the size of this one is a bit off. That's OK, I'm the only one that will see it or care anyway. To me, this looks like oooey gooey chocolate smothered over ice cream and fudge cake with sprinkles. Gotta have sprinkles.
The snowflakes are still rambling around in my mind, maybe I will still do something with that later. I am always changing my mind about something and to me, this is why......excellent results!

I like your postcard! Interesting texture...it does look like fudge sauce with sprinkles!
It does help to sort the buttons. I've done that too, but need to redo it, as I've acquired more and just stuffed them in the drawer with the others. Sounds like a good job for a gloomy day.
