Merry Snowmen!

I have this cute snowman set that was only sold by Stampin' Up! for one year - I think it was the 2011-2012 catalog.  I haven't used it much, either, but I always really liked it.  Then I saw that the December challenge from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is to pick any challenge from the past year, and there was a snowman challenge from July, so I decided to go with that and finally use these adorable s'more shaped snowmen!

Supplies:
Cardstock, pearls, inks and stamps:  SU
DSP:  Hello Winter by Echo Park
Snowflake dies:  All Seasons Tree by Karen Burniston at Elizabeth Crafts
All other dies:  My Favorite Things
Copic marker

So glad I held onto this set!

Check out this week's Word Art Wednesday for a ton of wonderful ideas, too!

Thanks for visiting,

Great sketch from MOJO Monday!

Happy autumn day to you,

I've been home most of the day preparing my projects for the next issue of Create magazine, but I also made time to make this birthday card using the latest sketch from MOJO Monday:

Here is the sketch:

What a great basic sketch!  I see myself using it over and over again.  Also, giving a nod to Word Art Wednesday, who once again has provided creative and spiritual nourishment!

Supply List:
Card Stock, ink, baker's twine:  SU
DSP:  Summer Fun by Fancy Pants Designs
Stitched sun die:   Lil Inker Designs
All other dies:  My Favorite Things
Button: found it in my stash

Sending You a Squeeze / WAW191

Hope you are happy today!  I am, as I got to play again with the Mason Jar Labels and coordinating dies from My Favorite Things.  So. Darn. Cute!!!  It's a bit time consuming to put the lemons together, but the results are so worth it.

I'm also linking this to Word Art Wednesday's challenge #191, which is anything goes/family friendly.  Love how that leaves the possibilities wide open.

The other dies I used are also from My Favorite Things, and all the papers are from Stampin' Up!  The ink is Staz On Opaque White. 

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you get some crafting in this weekend.

Best,
Denise
