When I first saw today's challenge, I was kinda bummed, could only think of one snowman I had and I had just used it. Then I remembered this beloved stamp set with winter scenes, and went up to my stamp room to look, and yes, there is a snowman in one! I was thrilled...this is one of those stamp sets that I hunted down on E-Bay. I don't know if any of you have ever done this, but in my excitement at bidding, I accidentally put in a few more digits and then hit enter. This stamp set cost me more than usual, but it could have gone for over 33,000.00 cause that was my bid! Thankfully, it never went over 33.00, much easier on my budget!
So, this was also using this week's sketch challenge. I added a wide grosgrain bow on the bottom to give it a bit wider margin, and layered a sheer organdy polka dot over it...just pretend that's snow. The little muffs, snowman's hat, and sleeve cuffs have fun fluff! This one took awhile, but it makes me happy!
Thanks for looking, and thanks for the challenges ladies!
