Today Lisa is having us figure out what snowmen do at night. hmmmmm ....oh yeah, go here for the full story. She is filling in for Mothermark, who started all this craziness. Thanks Lisa. I bet you never thought of this one.....details....
You see, late into the night all the snowmen turn into colorful clowns, make snowballs which they then turn into teeny tiny snowmen that they put pine cones on their heads. hehe .....Wait, I think I'm still on yesterday's challenge. The pine cone headed snowman is something my neighbors made out of our freak snowstorm. Anyway, the snowmen still like to pretend they are clowns. Sorry about the confusion here. By the way, since it was in the 20's this morning, their snowman was still half there. Did I mention I live in Sacramento CA?
I felt like being little goofy, so I went with the clown theme. After all, snowmen like to have fun too. Just don't want everyone knowing about it. Plus the resemblance is pretty close.
Now Bertie, I know you see that stack of snowballs, Don't be tempted to go and start flinging them at everyone. LOL Thanks too who ever spiked the hot chocolate. It sure tastes good!
My scene was colored with re-inkers and acrylic paint. Stamps used were the tree and dots on the card part.
Well, I'm off to get more hot chocolate and maybe a roasted marshmallow....TFL :0)

Is that yellow snow I see in the background? Hee Clowns huh? Yes, I see the similarities. Definitely jolly and would be fun after sitting still all day long wouldn't it! Your clowns are adorable Cathy. I just love your scene and story. Hee. Can't believe how cold it is there in CA. Wow. Have you tried Mrs. Claus' cookies? yum.

Ms Russian Spy, I can hardly believe what I'm looking at. As usual, I'm confused. Did you use stamps for these fun little snowmen or are they hand drawn? Your card is so fun and so creative. Who couldnt love a work of art like this, Russian Spy? If your other russian spy team member hasnt already staked this one out for her 'for sale' cards, let me know. I'm still working on building your portfolio, and I'm quite sure this would be a wonderful addition, that is if that writhered up old sister of yours has spoken up first. She knows this would command big bucks in the card market!

Ha ha -- too funny Cathy! I saw your little 10 inch snowman with his pinecone hat right away - and recognized him from your story yesterday! We're now on storm watch, so may get up in the morning to several inches of the white stuff! LOVE your clown snowmen - so cute and clever!

This card is so funny! I really got a good giggle out of it. But on a serious note...that is the best night sky I've ever seen!! That really is an impressive coloring job! The combination of your story and this card makes it a winner. So amusing. TFS!!
