When I was at Priceless Scrapbooks yesterday, I found these cute little bubble boxes similar to the ones I've been seeing with candy in them. These are a little bigger. I was thinking candy when I bought them, but came up with this instead. The unassembled snowman in the bubble is from a Close To My Heart set called All Decked Out. It was a stamp of hte month last year and I'm not sure if it is in the latest catty. I stamped a bunch of the parts out on white card stock and cut them all out. Some of them have a little color added to them with markers. Put the parts and chunky glitter in the bubble box and sandwiched it all between layers of card stock.
The card base is Baja Breeze. Layered on Riding Hood Red and SEI's Wintter Song dp. I think this blocked layout is a current sketch challenge somewhere because I've been seeing this layout all weekend on Splitcoast Stampers. Thought it would be perfect for this card.
The sentiment is from another snowman set I have. It is unmounted red rubber and therefore unidentifiable...sorry. Used Stampin' Up!'s Modern Label punch and Riding Hood Red tafetta ribbon to attach it to the card.
Stamps: Close to My Heart, unknown sentiment
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze, GP white, SEI Winter Song
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red
Accessories: modern label punch, coluzzle, bubble treat holder, chunky glitter, markers, ribbon

Aaaaack! You maniac! Lol- I love this Lynnor! How clever- and I am sooo casing you! I just ordered the SU 'bubbles' to use as a snow globe project at club next month- and here it is, fleshed out! You rock. I really love this sweet CTMH snowman, so many possibilities. Your card is wonerfully fun! (I don't know why you won't come and stay here and teach me your tricks!) Take care, Hugs!

OMGosh, Lynnor, this is just precious! Love your sentiment; oh how darling that is. It's just amazing how similar this is to what I've been seeing. I like that it's larger; you can get an unassembled snowman inside it's so big!

Great idea!! I loved this stamp set last year, and used it quite a bit. I guess I will be using it again this year. Oh, by the way it is still available in the Autumn/Winter 2009 Idea book.
