Jolly Snowmen NAC 63

November 16, 2013

I wanted to use this darling Snowman Stamp that I have had for several years.  It has never been used and when I saw the simplicity of the Nacho Average Challenge Sketch, I knew it was the perfect fit.  Growing up in Indiana, we had so many days to play in the snow.  I think every little child should be able to play in the snow at least once!  ENJOY!!!

I love this little stamp!  It makes me smile!  I just had to make one of the Snowmen have "RED" rubber boots.  Oh, how I longed for a pair  as a child.  I always had to have "white" ones.  More practical-----
I hope you smile when you look at their little faces and remember days gone by when you played in the snow as a child!

Happy Stampin!

Oh, it is such a gloomy day!  It is raining in Atlanta, but it never rained in Greensboro.  The sun is definitely hiding!  I decided to dive in and attempt a 3D project.  The Friday Mashup Challenge called for the color combo, Baked Brown Sugar, Always Artichoke and Crushed Curry and with or without  3D.

Because I Care PPA #179

Novemeber 15, 2013

YIPPEE SKIPPEE!  T.G.I. F. Day and a day to stay home and do things in my house and craft room!  It is gloomy and chilly and I can't think of anything I would rather do than make a card!  Coffee in hand-----here I go!

I absolutely LOVE the color combo for Pals Paper Arts this week.  Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake give me a "Regal"  feeling.  Today I am setting a new goal to completely finish my cards.  I make so many cards and then when I am ready to mail them, I have to go back and finish the inside and make an envelope liner.  I decided to use  stamp sets that have rarely been used.  I hope you enjoy it!
