Merry Christmas Snowmen

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This Unity Snowman stamp has been in my NBUS box since last Christmas.

I don't know what took me so long to ink him up.

I stamped with Copic friendly ink and colored with Copic markers.

Then I did him in red.  Very festive.

This time I paper pieced his scarf and gave him a more masculine look.

Challenges:

Just Us Girls #800 - Anything goes

Peace on Earth #99 - Anything Christmas goes (didn't use the mood board for inspiration)

NBUS #80 - Never Before Used Schtuff

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

There's just a few weeks left to get Christmas cards made and

ready to mail out.

Is it just me, or has this year flown by?!!

This wreath was die cut twice, colored with Copics, and layered. 

I placed it off to one side and added a watercolored die cut bird and pretty bow.

The bird was watercolored using Distress inks and my waterbrush.

It's a CASE of Carol's card for Just Us Girls #799.

I've kept the layout using die cuts instead of ephemera, and a different embossed background.

Challenges:

ABC Christmas - U is for Uncluttered

Just Us Girls #799 - CASE the Designer

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

These three hadn't made an appearance yet this year.

I thought they would work well with Linda's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.

I stamped each one with Copic friendly ink and colored them with Copics sticking to mainly

browns to honor all those LBJs (Little Brown Jobs) that feed in our yard.

They are perched on a holly branch and welcoming some snow.

Some homemade Flower Soft, made by rubbing two Styrofoam balls together, added

some fluff to their caps.

Challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches #710 - Sketch by Linda

Jingle Belles - Dashing Through the Snow

Penny Black Saturday  - ATG using Penny Black

Turning the Page November 2025

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

By the way, the calendars 4 ½ x 7 inches and and can be displayed on an easel

or hung on a push pin or magnetic hook.  We all have a different way to display them.
