Exciting News ...

Hello Dear Friends ...

I've had this exciting news under wraps for awhile now and
today I get the share the fun news!
I've been asked to join the Addicted to Stamps Design Team for 2019.

This will be perfect for me since I must admit my stamps (both rubber & digital)
have been taking a back seat to my 'die cutting addiction'  of late ... LOL
I hope you'll come join in our fun!

Our first challenge for the new year is hosted by team mate Doni
and her choice of theme is  

SNOWMAN 
and
our lovely sponsor is
 


Remember, this is a STAMPING challenge so be sure to use a (rubber, clear or digital)
stamp on your creation while following the theme.


I have chosen to print and color a very old (but adorable) AliciaBel image
called 'HUG' for today's card and as the sentiment reflects ... it makes me HAPPY!

After coloring using ZIG markers and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers,
I die cut the image using Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers'
Memory Box - Dies - Open Studio - Stitched Square Layers

I've also used the Sizzix Tim Holtz Falling Snow embossing folder
for the background and the Jeanine's Art 'Winter Corner' as embellishment.
Jeanine's Art - Dies - Winter Classics - Winter Corner


This corner die is so pretty, especially when you add a touch
of sparkle using Diamond Stickles to the snowflakes.

OH and see those little hearts?
Well, they just happened to be laying on my work table from a previous
project and I thought they worked perfectly with this sweet scene!


I hope you'll come join in this FUN challenge.
Hope I'll see you there!!

Challenges to share in:
Winter Wonderland Challenge: It's Snowtime
Card Mania: Baby It's Cold Outside
Christmas Crafts All Year Round: Let It Snow
Creative Craft Cottage: Winter
 Sweet Stampers: Winter/Snow

As always, thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to stop by!

  14. Well, congratulations Darlene! You have outdone yourself on this one and I see that you have nicely combined the dies with stamping. I love the snowy frame on these happy winter people and snowman. I see an icy cold background as well. I haven't seen snow in 5 years. This will have to do.
