Round, Fat Snowman

I need just a few more Christmas cards and I had not yet used this fun, round snowman this year. It's is another one I really like. The card is really prettier in real life. I used a digi image (recipe below) and ran it off twice, cut out both and popped one on the other giving it a 3 D effect. I used a snowflake embossing folder and snowflake paper.

 

A challenge I'm doing this week was introduced to me by Crafting Cathy (where she is a step sister for November and December. It is  The Sisterhood of Crafters. The theme is ALL THAT GLITTERS. They want to see some Christmas Sparkle--rhinestones, glitter, or Stickles. I have the red rhinestones and Dazzling Diamonds on my snowman.

Here is a closer view:

I hope you like the black and white for Christmas. I like it but wouldn't do a lot of my cards with it. I had a paper pack with it and the matching paper for the strip and thought I should use it.

Another of my favorite challenges is Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge-The challenge this week is LET IT SNOW....ie snowflakes, snowmen, snowfall....that's the idea...

Digi Darla's Challenges-#92-want to see a snowman or Santa on your entry this week. Well, I'm all about a snowman. Wish I had time to do another card and use one of Darla's images.

I've found a new (for me) challenge, A Creative Romance and would love to join in with my card.
The theme is Sparkle at Christmas.

Yes, it's another snowman. You know I love them. When I saw this snowman digital image, I just had

to have him. How funny is that big belly. Just looking at him scares me into a diet. Ha

 

The image is from Justinklined and is called Fat Snowman. No kidding!

 

My card fits the following challenges on Splitcoaststampers:

TLC 411/The Best of 2012 which means you are to choose a technique from that year and make a card using it and it fits the central theme for the CT1212 Fan Club Monthly Challenge/Baby, It's Cold Outside.

 

Also, Simon Says Stamp Blog Challenge is new something or you can use something new. That is my snowman image. Brand new and couldn't wait to use it.

 

Off to make some chili and get ready for the BCS National Championship game tonight between my team, University of Alabama,  and those Fighting Irish Notre Dame. Go Bama!!!
