Happy Saturday All!
OMG ... are you tired of this winter weather yet?
I know, I know ... it's only January but personally, I've seen enough of the white stuff ... I'd rather cut grass than shovel snow! LOL
Anyways, I spotted a fun challenge over at the CAS on Friday blog where the theme is SNOWMAN (1/22). I hope my card qualifies as I don't have a lot of white space (like I had originally planned) but then without thinking I grabbed this pretty piece of Brutus Monroe designer paper and used it as my background.
Mr. Snowman is from Simon Says Stamps ... Bundled Snowman #1527sd (first time using) and thought he'd be fun to play with today. Too old to go outside and make the real thing so will have to settle for making a paper snowman.
I die cut the snowman from a scrap of white cardstock then used my red Tombow marker to color the hat & scarf. Other Tombow markers were used for the face & buttons.
A few other fun challenges to play in are:
Creative Creases #111 Challenge - 1/2 thru 2/5
Fab 'n' Funky Challenge #628 - Winter Wonderland (1/21)
Try it on Tuesday Challenge - It's Cold Outside (1/21)
The Crafting Challenge January Challenge - White/Snow (2/1)
Craft Rocket Challenge #132 - Something New (snowman die) (1/31)
Die Cut Diva's January Challenge - Use New Crafty Item (snowman die) (1/31)
This card was fun, quick & easy!
Hope you've found inspiration in today's card!
Take care and thanks for stopping by today!
As always . . .
Oh I hear you, I'd rather make snowman that do not melt. 😉 Thanks for linking up to our January challenge gallery at Die Cut Divas.
ReplyDeleteAwww - your bundled snowman is so cute, Darlene - love the blue background too!! Our snow today was so light and fluffy, it couldn't make a snowman!! Easy to sweep with my broom...
ReplyDeleteOh you had to use that gorgeous paper, it works fantastic with your cute snowman. I agree, much rather cut grass than shovel :) Although I do collect snowmen!
ReplyDeleteYour bundled snowman looks right at home in this snowy scene, Darlene! Love, love, love his red scarf and hat!
ReplyDeleteHi, Darlene! I am tired of the super cold temps and icy walkways, for sure! Your Z-Fold card is adorable! The background you created for your cute little snowman is wonderful.

Wow, that Brutus Monroe paper is fabulous! I adore your cute little snowman, too, of course. No white stuff here. We're showing signs of spring, but I know we have a lot of winter yet to come.
ReplyDeleteThat paper is fantastic and creates a wonderfully charming background for your cute snowman. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our January 2026 Challenge.
